Ryachu Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hello Everyone, I'm Ryachu, or just Rya for short.. It's been a long time since I've been in an active forum but I'd like to try to meet some people with similar interests as myself. A little about me: Male; College Student; Electronics Background; Japanese Future (I hope). I've had an ever-increasing interest in anime, manga, Japanese culture, and the language itself. Eventually I branched into visual novels which has led me to Fuwanovel. I'm eager to read some more visual novels in time, but as of now I've read a majority of Key's visual novels with a few exceptions. Hm.. I'm very shy, and I was debating on the registration progress, but the community here seems very friendly so I decided to join. I do hope that I'll fit in among the regular members here.. Another factor that has led me here is that I would like to have translation somewhere in my future. I think that visual novels will be a very good asset as I begin studying and having a community to share some thoughts with would be just as helpful. I'm looking forward to meeting you. And lastly it may be wise to post what I am currently reading.. Planetarian & Ever 17. Oh! And please, if my writing seems so straightforward and dull at times do not take it badly. It's just how I am really.. Quote
solidbatman Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Welcome! You are 100% correct in thinking the community as friendly. It may be the nicest, most pleasant forum I've ever been a part of. Best of luck in your Japanese studies and I hope you enjoy it here. And Ever17 is awesome. Quote
Steve Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hello and welcome. Fuwanovel community is indeed awesome, lot of friendship, fun and moe lolis xD Im also key fan, Planetarian is awesome Quote
Snowtsuku Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Electronics Engineer? (I hope) Anyway welcome to Fuwa Where's Pyachu btw? solidbatman and eclipsezero 2 Quote
zoom909 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Nice to meet you, Rya. I like electronics, but I'm kind of clumsy...I'd probably shock myself or something. Have you made any interesting gadgets? I have been an anime fan for many years. I ended up accumulating a number of Japanese manga and visual novels (some PC, some PS2) based on anime--just in the course of collecting, going to cons, etc. That's how I got started on Japanese. And I don't mind straightfoward writing at all. On the contrary, it seems to be missing from a lot of the internet these days... Quote
Tay Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Welcome! Glad to have you! It's been a long time since I've been in an active forum but I'd like to try to meet some people with similar interests as myself. I'm happy that you decided to give us a try : ). How's the Japanese coming? Quote
Ryoji Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Welcome to the Fuwanovel Community Rya. I too am happy you decided to give us a try. Were all friends here and were very laid back. Make yourself at home and most of all enjoy yourself!! Any questions or whatever, let us know! Quote
eclipsezero Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Welcome to Fuwa! This forum/community is awesome <3 Don't worry about being too shy or anything at all, you will fit right in, everyone is friendly and stuff so yeah :3~ Don't hesitate from asking questions, and enjoy your time here! Quote
S olstice Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hi Friend. Btw, Welcome to Fuwanovel community. Enjoy your stay. Feel free to ask and discuss anything under the sun to everyone. I'm sure they will answer it the best way they can. Quote
Guest Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Key stuff is good intro to VNs, I reckon one of the big influex of VN gamers was when Clannad was done all those years ago and welcome~ Quote
alden_0023 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hello and welcome!.. And I shall agree that we are very friendly ^^ Enjoy your stay here!.. Quote
Mikel Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Welcome to Fuwanovel ^^ It sure is a nice community, and everyone is really friendly, so I can't imagine someone who can't get used to it Quote
Ryachu Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks everyone, pleasure to meet you all! It was a pleasant surprise to see such warm welcomes from everyone. I feel like it was a good choice to join the community already. Electronics Engineer? (I hope) Anyway welcome to Fuwa :D/>/>/> Where's Pyachu btw? Still haven't found a Pyachu around yet, but I'm sure they are out there somewhere... I am a repair technician, not an engineer. I haven't done enough studying to reach that point yet but it is always an option. I learn something new from repairs everyday. Nice to meet you, Rya. I like electronics, but I'm kind of clumsy...I'd probably shock myself or something. Have you made any interesting gadgets? I have some high school projects still with me: An AM radio, binary clock, and a robot that follows a source of light (such as a flashlight). I've also built my own computer and done other odds and ends. I can be clumsy at times too, but with some care I think many people can grasp some electronic skills. Just always learn and practice good safety. Welcome! Glad to have you! I'm happy that you decided to give us a try : ). How's the Japanese coming? I've picked it up a few times and dropped it. I'm going to start fresh either today or tomorrow by starting with 25 kanji a day. I have most of the Hiragana and Katakana systems memorized. But in general I'm just a beginner. Anyway, thanks again for the warm welcomes everyone. I'll chat with you more around the forums. Quote
meru Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hi Rya! Everyone here is super friendly so I think you'll fit right in Good luck with the Japanese studying.. translation is really fun and rewarding (if sometimes extremely frustrating). Quote
Daeyamati Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Hi & welcome to the fuwan forums! You've come to the right place; everyone here is friendly and helpful I'm also learning Japanese so I can be a part of the translation scene, though I'm learning very passively and slowly so it'll be a while OTL Though I have considered editing before (but I only started recently.) And lastly it may be wise to post what I am currently reading.. Planetarian & Ever 17. +1 for reading Planetarian. You are gonna love it, no doubt. Quote

I thought I was able to finally find an ECE :/ Anyway, aside from VNs I wish you good luck in case you want to study engineering Quote

You are gonna love it, no doubt. Editing seems interesting as well. I wish you luck with both the Japanese and editing if you continue it. I've been browsing the forums and the community is very pleasant, I may also join the Learning Japanese thread I was viewing earlier. It seemed very informative and helpful. Also, I've purchased Planetarian on my PC and iPad, I'm just about halfway through it but I'm loving it thus far. I've always heard good things about it. I thought I was able to finally find an ECE :/ Anyway, aside from VNs I wish you good luck in case you want to study engineering :D/>/>/> Thanks! I'll be sure to let you know if I do get into some more engineering studies. I'm planning on transferring to a university soon where I may pick up some Computer Science or possibly some kind of Engineering experience. It may not be my major but perhaps a double major. Though, if you don't mind me asking, what is an ECE? (I'm assuming Electical/Computer Engineer) Quote

(I'm assuming Electical/Computer Engineer) ECE stands for Electronics Engineer xD I guess different countries use different abbreviations for degrees as well. If you need some books for reference I can probably suggest some. Quote
zoom909 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 binary clock I like those. Using LEDs? Is it true binary or BCD? Electronics Engineer? (I hope) I thought I was able to finally find an ECE :/ Why so interested in ECEs? You want someone to build you a personal android or something? Quote
Snowtsuku Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Why so interested in ECEs? You want someone to build you a personal android or something? Because I am studying the same field. Quote
Ryachu Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 I like those. Using LEDs? Is it true binary or BCD? BCD using LED lights and 555 timer ICs. It was a simple project to assist us in understanding the Binary code and circuit designs using timers. Quote
meru Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I love Planetarian.. Let us know your thoughts when you finish! Quote
zoom909 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 BCD using LED lights and 555 timer ICs. It was a simple project to assist us in understanding the Binary code and circuit designs using timers. The 555 generates the clock signal, is that right? And you used 7490 counters or something to control which LEDs to light? Or is there some other IC involved? Just curious (and ignorant)... Quote
Snowtsuku Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 The 555 generates the clock signal, is that right? And you used 7490 counters or something to control which LEDs to light? Or is there some other IC involved? Just curious (and ignorant)... Yes on the first question. I'm not that familiar when it comes to IC numbers, but the ICs you'll use depends on the design. To control the LEDs, you need a decoder if you use a seven segment display~ Quote

Or is there some other IC involved? Just curious (and ignorant)... I can't remember the exact type of IC used to control the LEDs, but it was a type of counter.. It was about 5~6 years ago that I've worked on this one. You may be exactly right though with the 7490 though. I'm not that familiar when it comes to IC numbers, but the ICs you'll use depends on the design. To control the LEDs, you need a decoder if you use a seven segment display~ I remember working on that too. Sounds exactly right, Snowpoke. Quote
