Dаvid L. "Dave" Jones is аn Australian electronics engineer and video blogger.[2][3] He is the founder and host of EEVBlog[4] (Electronics Engineering Video Blog), a blog and YouTube channel targeting electronics engineers, hobbyists, hackers and makers.[2][5] His content has been described as a combination of "in-depth equipment reviews and crazy antics"[2]
Before becoming a full-time blogger, Jones designed FPGA boards for the EDA company, Altium.[6] Over the years, as an electronics hobbyist, he has had several design projects published in electronics magazines. He is also founder and co-host of The Amp Hour,[4] an electronics engineering radio show and podcast.
EEVBlog
The EEVBlog YouTube channel was created on 4 April 2009.[7] [2] The channel features in-depth equipment reviews and electronics commentaries.[2] Jones has posted over 950 episodes.
In a mid 2015 video, Jones disputed the claims of an unreleased battery life extender, Batteriser. Batteroo, the company behind the product, disputed Jones's arguments and published a number of demonstration videos in response.[8]
Projects
According to Jones, he began publishing electronic design project plans in electronics DIY magazines like Electronics Australia in the 1980s.[2] In recent years, several of his project articles appeared in Silicon Chip, including one for the µCurrent, a multimeter accessory which he later marketed as a finished product.[9] He also self-published plans online for the µWatch, a scientific calculator watch.
μWatch
In 2008, Jones released specifications for the µWatch, a scientific calculator watch that could be purchased in kit form or built from online plans, off-the-shelf parts, a custom PCB and custom keyboard overlay.[10][11][12][13] It was designed as a replacement for Jones's defunct Casio CFX-400,[13] reported as the last scientific calculator watch since 1985.[14] The µWatch is built around a 16-bit processor and 64K of flash memory, and runs on open source software, though the hardware is not open source.[15][16]
μCurrent
In the April 2009 edition of Silicon Chip, Jones published plans for the μCurrent, an open source precision current adapter for multimeters.[17] He also assembled and marketed the completed unit as a solution for multimeter burden voltage issues that arise when measuring sub-microamp currents.[18][19] In 2013, Jones used a Kickstarter campaign to crowd-fund an updated design, the μCurrent GOLD, which is the current version of the product.[20][21]
