SUMMARY:SFAF presents Introduction to DIY
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT: You will need to register for this event by May 22\, 2024 as we’ll need to ship the PCB board and electronics to you. Plus\, you’ll need your own soldering station and basic multimeter. \nIntroduction to DIY – safety considerations\, basic electronic parts\, soldering techniques\, using a multimeter\, signal generator\, basic scope. \nDescription:\n\nThis is an introductory class for those who want to build and experiment with electronic equipment.First you will learn how to identify parts and solder them on a printed circuit board (PCB).\n\nIn the supervised soldering practice you will build a kit of a moving-magnet (MM) phono pre-amplifier. \nSoldering alone is not enough\, because sometimes you encounter problems with your project.\nFor that reason\, you will also learn how to use basic test equipment. \nYou will learn how to use a multimeter to measure voltages and calculate current using Ohm’s Law.\nYou will also learn how to use low-cost signal generator and oscilloscope to test audio circuits. \nWe will hold two additional online Zoom meetings as part of this class. \nZoom meeting#1\nTime: Wednesday 5/29/2024 6-8pm\nTopics: 20m Ohm’s Law\n20m AC vs DC in audio circuits\n20m identifying electronic parts\n20m using a multimeter\n10m using a signal generator\n30m using a basic oscilloscope (scope)\nWe will have a brief summary of these topics in the class on 6/2 but will not have time for a deep dive.\nAll registered students are expected to attend this Zoom meeting#1.\nIf you don’t attend this online class then you’ll be expected to study this material on your own! \nZoom meeting#2\nTime: Wednesday 6/19/2024 6-8pm\nTopics: completing your phono kit.\nInstructions how to complete the kit will be given at the class and assistance will be available on a discussion forum. \nThis meeting gives you an opportunity to diagnose issues with your kit using your camera and a multimeter. \nWe will demonstrate to students that own a signal generator and scope how to use them for advanced diagnostics. \nZoom meeting links will be included in your event registration confirmation email. \nFees for this class are $70 for members and $80 for non-members which includes shipping costs\, the PCB boards and electronics needed to complete the phono stage – really a bargain! Students will need their own soldering station and multimeter. \nClass size is limited\, so don’t wait to register for this great class!\n\nRegister Now\n\nIMPORTANT: You will need to register for this event by May 22\, 2024 as we’ll need to ship the PCB board and electronics to you. Plus\, you’ll need your own soldering station and basic multimeter. \n \n\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp
