Hi all,
I have recently been taken on as a trainee Automation Engineer for a New Zealand based company that handles milk / food production for the plants in the area.
When I started I was been given a rather large amount of books to read through (but what good is knowledge if I can't apply it to anything?).
I've also been told "don't worry about the math, just learn the concepts" but unfortunately all of the concepts are based around math so far...
I'd love to hear some project suggestions (home based) for testing myself and as a result becoming a better automation engineer.
My background is IT and software development for 2 years, with little electrical or mechatronics experience.
I have an interest in flight mechanics / space stuff. I'd love to eventually work my way to up building my own quadcopter from scratch.
Thanks in advance! Any suggestions would be fantastic.
