Hi All,

I have been reviewing the forums of late and have been toying with the idea of adding some new ones plus re-arranging some old ones. Here is what i have come up with.

Quote:

Electronic Forums - Beginner Electronics - Circuits and Projects (design, ideas and reviews) Electonics Categories - Robotics Chat - Micro Controllers - RF (Radio frequency) - Radio Controlled - Alternative Energy Electronic Content - Electronic Theory - Electronic Datasheets - Electronic Projects - Electronic Books Other Forums - Chit Chat - Feedback / Comments - Trash Can

I would like to know what everyone thinks. All suggestions are welcome.

Edit: Added Electronic Datasheets.
Edit: Description on Beginner Electronics could be "For discussing basic fundamentals of electronics like resistors, watts, volts, etc"

Hiya Electro,
Those new idea's for extra subjects are a great idea, I especially like the alternative energy subject as I'm totally reliant on solar and wind power on the farm. Also the beginners subject will be a good answer to all those new members with there first post asking basic questions. You can count me in for the changes mate

Cheers Bryan

A Beginner's category is the best thing an informative forum like this one can have. Great idea. I like the others too, but I don't think you should have an RF forum AND a Radio Controlled forum... that just doesn't make sense to me. I'm glad you thought of this... the forums are getting WAY to large; we need categorization.

To clarify, the Radio Controlled forum would be for things like RC Cars, Boats, and Planes. I believe RF is totally different (correct me if im wrong) as it relates to ham radios, which seems to be a huge topic.

All forums would have a description to hopefully prevent confusion.

Keep the comments coming they so far they are very good!

An RF forum or one specifid to Ham Radio would be very welcome im my case, I am an Amature Radio Operator and am always consrtructing something to do with that hobby

 

That sounds great!! As a beginner I need the beginners section

I would like to see a Seperation between "Analogue" and "Digital" Electronics.

A Seperate forum for each.

I don't know what it will be like inside the Radio Controlled section when those people start to put on their topics. There're plenty of RC forums full of RC fans on the internet. They talk too much about craft and control skills all the time, and they don't usually read the rules carefully before posting. Hopefully this section won't be filled with such irrelevant threads. Even if such threads will be deleted asap, it wears the administrator out.

I kinda like the Alternative Energy forum idea. It will be great working out new ideas with everybody here.

Would there be a General Electronics catagory?

 

power electronics,communication systems and electronics software should give a ty

 

How about a forum to discuss electonics related coding like C coding to control ports, Matlab, C18(or shall we put c18 in microcontrollers?) and other related EDA Softwares...

Also...If you are in a mood for excessive work... Could we have a wiki... where good posts could be transformed into articles and edited by users to form into a full fledged articles.... In course of time, we shall have an elecronics Encyclopedia...But again... Too much work...

Good luck ElecroMaster.

well, that sounds really great
i'd like to have a new category with different sections related to electronics technical reapairs as well .
thanks alot
Regards

 

What about AUDIO category - Tubes, Mosfet, Combo, 1000...Wats, Etc.

 

How about a high voltage section?

I've been posting over at www.4hv.org, but there arent too many people that are active. Plus they have their registration disabled, so new people cant even join.
My current project is a tesla coil driven by a high power IGBT brick.

I dont know how much interest there would be in this, but its a thought

I think a beginners section would be great along with beginner circuits and projects.
Should we separate atmel and microchip??
Definitely an alternative energy forum.
