I just started building circuits as a hobby and so I thought I'd post some pictures of my circuits as well as my current work area (equipment). Here ya go. Feel free to comment on w/e you want (positive or negative comments).
Description of pictures (from left to right):
1. Here is my breadboard with my analog LED blinker circuit on the right (555 timer IC) and my digital LED blinker circuit on the left (12F509 PIC). Inbetween you can see the area where I program the PIC (where there are wires connected to nothing). You can see the PICkit2 programmer.
2. Here is the same breadboard close up.
3. Here is a close up of the analog LED blinker. Using a 555 timer IC in astable mode. I have two potentiometers to control the frequency of the blinking LED and the brightness.
4. This is my digital version of the LED blinker circuit. I used at 12F509 PIC. To the right of the PIC you can see some wire that do not appear to connect to anything. This is the area where I program the PIC.
5. This is my stereo audio amplifier using two LM386 IC's. The gain is controlled with the two potentiometers (one for each channel) and the green LED indicates power on. I built this to amplify the sound coming out of my speakers at work. I had to small speakers connected directly to the computer and at max volume (on the computer) you could barely hear the music. This circuit did the trick and now I can blast my music
6. This is my work area. Not much yet since I am still waiting on some packages to arrive (soldering station, helping hands, etc.). I did however splurge on Akro-Mils storage cabinets
All these pictures were taken with my Sony Ericsson S710a Camera Phone.
