    Technical Management

    I was wondering what kind of direction, tools, data I need to give to the engineers and technicians in my group. How do I write good specs for them?

    I want that job! And I want to play with my toys all day long.

    Customizing G1 Omega Supreme toy

    I think you might be right. I like playing with electronics more than designing and building. I'm interested in the real-world, practical applications.

    Customizing G1 Omega Supreme toy

    Don't engineers design and technicians take those designs and build them? I want to be an electrical engineer. There are technicians who can do the soldering for me.

    Bug-finding

    How do I learn and master a ton of spec documents and test procedures? Is it just a matter of reading them over and over again?

    Customizing G1 Omega Supreme toy

    Isn't that what engineering is all about: 1. Finding ways to do things easier and simpler. 2. Isn't that why companies have lazy engineers because they're good at finding those shortcuts and the easiest, simplest solutions? 3. Soldering is a crude skill. Because I don't like doing it I could...

    Customizing G1 Omega Supreme toy

    Maybe if I learn how to program microcontrollers I won't have to deal with soldering?

    Maybe I'm better suited for the role of a Steve Jobs, with a bunch of Wozniaks at my command to do the heavy-lifting. And I'll take all the credit.

    Customizing G1 Omega Supreme toy

    I don't like soldering. It's too frustrating and messy. I like plug-and-play. I've never been good with precision hands-on work whether it be with a soldering iron, microscope, jigsaw, sander, drill, etc. I just end up making a big mess. Is it okay if I never pick up a tool and physically...

    How do you build a comparator using an Op Amp? I think this would be a good cookbook circuit.

    I read BJT's are current-driven and FET's are voltage-driven. Now BJT's are switched on by applying a voltage at the Base, so why do they say BJT's are current-driven?

    You need a person to flip a mechanical switch on and off. With an electronic switch I guess it can be triggered by sensors (eg. Light, dark, temperature, output from another circuit, etc). With all the possibilities it seems like electronics is as much of a art as it is a science.

    Bug-finding

    I need to find bugs and write detailed reports including steps to reproduce. Software development fixes them. I guess it's hard because the spec documents are so long. It's difficult to memorize and understand everything. Bug-finding seems like looking for a needle in a haystack.

    Good idea. Now what's the advantage of this electronic switch over a mechanical SPST switch?

    Bug-finding

    Right now I'm just testing the software, the user interface. So I guess it's just black box testing. I have access to the test procedures a specs, but the vastness and complexity of the code makes finding bugs difficult.

    What are some good, useful, practical circuits to have in my repertoire, my personal cookbook? I'm interested in real-world applications.

    Bug-finding

    I test software on set-top-boxes. I'm weak at finding problems, issues, and bugs. I mostly run test scripts and procedures, basically spec-testing. How can I become a better end user and ad hoc tester, so I can increase the number and quality of my bugs. I don't want to lose my jobs. Being...
