What little gem have you learned from one of your projects?

dougw
dougw 2 months ago

I've been thinking - I have learned so much from content found on this forum and participating on the forum has resulted in so many new ideas, whether it is branching off others' ideas or synthesizing new ideas during projects or trying to answer member questions. It suddenly dawned on me just how much this forum has contributed directly or indirectly to my knowledge and my ideas.

These questions are just to highlight this aspect of the forum, in case you are like me and haven't stepped back to think about it.

  1. Do you learn more from reading about other people's projects?
  2. Do you find this forum sparks project ideas that you want to pursue?
  3. How does it rank versus other sources of ideas?
  4. Have you found that comments on this forum help refine your ideas?

By the way, thank you to all you great contributors to my knowledge and ideas - these things are important to me.

    I do indeed learn from other people's posts.  About a month ago there was a post dealing with a voltage translation circuit using a discrete MOSFET.  I took the time to look through the app note the poster referenced and that's when I learned that most MOSFETs have a body diode.  Like anything, the more you put in, in terms of effort, the more you get out.
