More boards, and Truck Lite cert

More boards :-) I'm no pro, but I'm certainly getting more efficient at finding faults.

I've learned that I actually enjoy finding the faults, yay!

And here's this:

Electrical circuits- week one.

Last week in class we started testing for faults in simple circuits. We used schematics, and colored them to help understand the circuits. Even though these circuits are simple, coloring the lines should help with complicated circuits as well.

Here's a color coding legend, showing the colors we used.

A couple schematics I colored before testing circuits.

I learned how coloring shematics can make understanding circuits much easier, and is well worth the time taken.I also learned how over thinking can over complicate the diagnosing of a simple problem when testing circuits for faults,and wastes time.

*From Clifton Strengths insight guide.

After taking the Clifton Strengths Finder 2.0 survey, I can't say I'm surprised with the results. I most identify with my #1 theme: Strategic.

I generally approach tasks in different ways than most people I know, and see patterns and issues that others sometimes don't see till I point them out. I question procedures and try to weed out irrelevant information.

When I see a problem I come up with multiple solutions,before deciding on a course of action. When I'm working in an subject I'm familiar with I prefer to work alone, because I trust my knowledge and skills in identifying problems and solutions. Though when I do work in teams, I tend to joke and tell stories to get my point across, and quiz others on their ideas.
