  • Dave L. Jones is arguably one of the most recognisable faces in electronics today. A successful electronic design engineer, having started at a young age and having been published by the age of just 13 years of age, Dave has worked on military projects with companies such as Thales Australia & GEC Marconi, working on projects such as ocean seismic survey equipment and the Barra Sonar Buoy (which helped save the life of round the world yachtsman Tony Bullimore).
    In recent times, he was instrumental in designing hardware development boards for the Australian company Altium, which produces software design tools for the electronics industry.
    In 2009, Dave started the EEVBlog which, at the time of this interview, had 5000+ subscribers. In March 2020, the EEVBlog has over 706,000 subscribers!
    In the interview (20/7/2010) Dave has a chat with me about his career, how he got started, the success of the EEVBlog and much more. Throughout the State of Electronic series, Dave has contributed to the conversation about electronics in detail and has been a huge supporter of the project.

      Right! But going on what you're saying in the video, with all the parts and whatnot being available today -- sure! But at least here in the U.S. for the last couple years, you can't really go down to the store and buy your stuff, you're getting it all online. Maybe if a hobby shop has something, but Radioshack nuked themselves..... Twice... Seems to have changed a bit here at least since you made it. So I guess, those were the days..

      Great Interview! I really enjoyed the 50-in-1 Kits when i was younger. I am currently 20 and persuing my degree in EE. I am employed at a CNC Manufacturer and design PCBs (Replacing their design from '07). Thank you very much for your informative videos and steering me further towards Electronics. Thanks Dave

    real amazing person in electronic man, every review he is very interesting, although I do not really understand English, but the attitude of Dave's behavior while explaining the review, really helped me understand what he meant.

    Your background was very similar to mine - but I grew up in the bush with a Tandy store as my main goto. Also the Newspaper shop was everything, AEM, EA and ETI and Talking Electronics. I used to send my designs to Talking Electronics. I went on to University and American Tech.

    I remember the old lab! Hard to believe it was so long ago. But was Dave dying his hair back then to hide the grey? - looks suspicious to me :-)

    Very pleasant your explanation Dave, your history corresponds to mine as far back as the late 70's and beyond and Tandy and other shops from then Ulenspiegel 8000 etc, I took electricity in school because electronics was a bit too ambitious for me. But I kept doing it old radio sets and DIY! although the level is a bit too high for me, nice continuation Dave

    I remember the wonders of visiting York street - I didn't live in Sydney, so I must have convinced my parents when visiting Sydney to take me there. I notice AEM didn't get a mention, but I do find the various references to the magazines of the day, and then learning of some of the background to those enterprises fascinating. Also just discovered aus.electronics is still alive, and Phil Allison (or a very good AI implementation) is too :)
