Don’t let math deter you. Especially if you’re more interested in assembly. Most of the math I’ve done is related to Ohm’s Law (which is just basic algebra) and its 3 phase variations. Only occasionally is it more complicated than that. And when it is more complicated, you’ll have access to tools that help out.
Hello! Always nice to meet electronics guys.
Oh, hey, this is what I do for a living.
There’s a lot of math and formulas to learn if you’re designing electronics, but just doing assembly requires a lot less math. There’s a lot of tools to help with the math, though, so it usually isn’t too daunting. When actually doing the work, you’ll need to read through a lot of documentation, like spec sheets, to design your stuff to work with their stuff. When it comes to assembly, you’ll need to know a lot of rules and be able to follow drawings. You’ll need to learn about electromagnetic interference and how to limit it, how to use anti-static equipment, multimeters, hipot testers, how to solder, and so on. Its a lot, but you don’t usually have to do everything at once, so it is managable. Many things, like soldering, takes practice and a steady hand.
Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions!
I used Musicbrainz Picard to sort out my old library. I was honestly impressed with how much I could find all the data for, but it did need help for a lot of things.
I don’t really ask. We’re pretty bad.
I work with precision gyroscopes in a commercial setting. Subsea precision surveying and inertial navigation systems are spot on examples of what we use them for. It helps to know where seamounts are, or where you put that subsea cable or pipeline.
