 Small Electrical Projects |
 |
Over time i've made a lot of electrical devices, nothing complicated, just lamps, small sound systems etc.
Currently I was going to work on that walking stick but I need to find all the parts first, in the meantime I will be building a switch box, just a box you plug in stuff and you can control them. They are used for rock shows, wrestling shows etc. Stage equipment.

Well i've been doing this for years but I got started with headphones, then went into bigger systems.
In small electronics I just started with a light and switch, my dad helped me when I first started. now i'm trying more complex things but still trying to keep it as simple as possible.
Not sure how you want to get started, everyone has their own way to start, but first find something that intrests you then reasearch/study it. It dostn have to be complex, start small.
In the end all that matters is that it works. Remember he rulse KIS (Keep it simple),simplicy is always the best, if you get too complex is gets frusterating and difficult.
I suggest trying to make a circuit of a lamp first, no switch. Just a cable that you plug in the wall and a light. Thats how I started with electrical.

Indeed, when i started working with these a number of years ago I didnt want to get hurt so I had someone help me who knew what to do.
Now that i'm more experianced and I know what i'm doing, but when you start please dont do thsi alone. 120v is more than evenough to kill you.
