Links!, Software, tutorials, projects, etc...

So, here's the brand new and cleaned up "Links" thread. I tried to categorize this as best as I could, but if you'd like to see something changed, please, do let me know. Also let me know if you find any broken links and I'll fix it
Oh, and don't forget to post some more cool links I will try to update this list as often as possible.

Peace, Rouslan

Could someone update my site to www.digital-diy.net please

^ Done.

thanks guys
its really helpful

OCW has some interesting things I have not had time to sift though it all yet but ya


http://www.rit.edu/~aim6864/web/circuits1 redirects then gives a 404

http://people.rit.edu/

Removed, thanks.

I landed on this site by accident. It appears to have a good collection of projects:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/128845/Electroni...or-the-Hobbyist

Then I went to the main site and was further impressed. "Hottest Documents Right Now" seems to be their slogan. I browsed around and did some trial searches. Looks like a good resource no matter what your interest. Take a look yourself. I haven't signed up yet but it looks like it is free.

Really useful if you ever happen to encounter soviet electronics;

USSR CMOS to Western CMOS
eg. K561LA7 - CD4011

USSR transistors to Western transistors

This site says "Software for amateur radio applications" but many of the categories are useful for other electronics topics such as circuit design and radio control. Most of the software seems to be freeware.
