One thing that I can confessed to you guys is that – my passion is electronics! Well, what is life without passion? Along the journey, I though of something to make it interesting such as 1deBB, riicha and eaff, calass, what are those you may ask?
1debb
It’s an acronym for 1diy electronics Building Block, a modular boards – a small form factor that can be used as a standalone board or can be integrated into another board to form a system, like the idea below, something that can be re-usable by DIYe’rs.
Hence, all the boards that belong to this idea comes with a mark 1deBB printed on the PCB top/bottom.
EAF2
It means, Easy – Affordable – Fast to Learn – Fun to Learn. Most of my electronics projects are meant for Shareware & Courseware, an idea like Open Source (but not totally like that! ). As a young kid in-love with electronics, I found it very difficult (way back 30 years ago) to start with electronics, and I promised to myself that, if I learned it, I will make the “learning better” with (1) EASY way, (2) AFFORDABLE that can be reach by most Makers/DIYe’rs, not expensive solution, (3) FAST to learn with ample and clear documentation in pdf and now with my video tutorial in youtube { Class A A/B and Class-D } and (4) FUN to learn, implement and use – it must be self fulfilling that you appreciate yourself and what yourself can do.
That’s why the EAF2 is meant for Shareware and Courseware.
riicha
research – innovation – industrial – commercial – hobby – automation. Well, that sounds like long, hahaha! In fact, yes! As my journey with electronics, I keep on with research and from that researched, it goes normally to think of a wild innovation …. I would say limited to hobby, as I cannot publish my innovation in my real work. Most of my hobby design (pcb and hardware/software), some friends around would like to have it in the same level as my prototype using Industry level FR4 PCB and even requested to have the full components, which is why I have to find a way in the idea if “easy build and alternative component system” to tap with e-commerce people around for a commercialization so we can reach our friends around the world. I am asking some of my e-commerce friend in aliexpress and lazada.
I am passionate also in testing and qualification, in fact one of my real job is about “qualification” in the real manufacturing industry and I use automation to leverage my testing and qualification.
Yet, those real stuff in real job are hidden, and I those on hobby were the one being re-surface and being shared – most of the time.
Shareware and Courseware
All of the above are in the name of Shareware and Courseware – an educational learning and trainer with the idea that you can turned the hardware or system into a usable project/product.
Welcome to the D Stuff – the Dandy Stuffs!
CALASS
Collaborate – Avail – Learn – Access – Share & Support. As the world of electronics is getting complex, being a one-man band is no longer a happy things, so I keep on searching for someone whom I can collaborate, Access information, Learn the new development, Avail the best possible way to implement in the real world (not just a dream), Share resourced and Support each other.
Your Support to my crusade!
It is highly appreciated – you are more than welcome to join me in this crusade! A simple support to let me know if you spotted a mistake in my publication (rather than laughing at it and called me stupid or dumb – LOL!), I appreciated so much if you can drop me a note.
If you would like to contribute, expand the idea or suggest a project or you want your project to be officially published under the name of 1deBB, riicha or EAF2, drop me a note on my email dandymenor@hotmail.com or fill-up this form (click it), the best way to get in touch is to catch each other for a beer or vodka.
Catch me if you can as I am quiet busy in the real job, cross-bordering and jumping from factory to factories. Cheers!
This project was created from the idea of 1deBB, EAFF, riicha (but not CALASS – – as I am still finding my partner). Well ……. meet “handmade by dandy” – a room amplifier with reserved average power : 200W + 200W to 8 ohms @ 10% distortion, 0.02% @ 1W, see the Parametric Test with Oscilloscope, HP8903B and Signal Generator.
I meant it – Shareware and Courseware! I started to write the document on how to make this project (1) Assembly (2) DIY mechanical on the aluminum casing (3) software programming with Arduino Solution (4) Testing and ………….. (5) let me see where you can obtain those parts.
SALAMAT Po!
FlashBack (I am not sure if this is history)
those 1deBB, riicha, eaf2 maybe influenced by the movie “Kung Fu Panda”, where a dragon scroll will make you invincible by knowing the an unearth kungfu technique, well, it turned out that —- there is nothing special, only to make you believe that there is indeed special which make you believe there is really a special!
Well … with those idea, it makes my “electronic hobby special”, at least 1% better than most hobbyist / maker in the same arena!
Cheers Everyone!
