Greetings Everyone!
I'm new to the forum, it was one of the only forums I found with an Electrical Engineering forum.
I've been toying with getting into Electrical Engineering as a hobby and I figure now is as good as time as any to get into it. This is just for fun, it's not for any school work.. I'm just a big nerd that gets excited about this stuff. My goal is to eventually like to get to the point where I could build gaming consoles and computers from scratch based off of ARM or MIPS CPU's.
What would it take for me to start? What kind of Math would I need to brush up on? What would be the best projects for me to start with to learn and understand microprocessors, DSPs, video circuitry, etc? What kind of tools would I need to invest in? What books should I read?
I know I need to crawl before I can walk.. Time is something that I've got.
I'm starting ALMOST from scratch here, so please be gentle!.. (P.S: I do have a BS in Computer Science if that helps) :-)
Thanks,
3vix6
