I decided to take a break with electronics today and did a bit of reading and designing. I started to read a book called Reverse Engineering for Beginners which mainly focuses on coding. I read the book for about an hour and after that hour, I was left fairly confused, although I did learn how to convert numbers 1-9 into binary as well as the letters A-F which I would consider an accomplishment. I later did some more reading on an article that talked a bit more about the physical aspect of reverse engineering. They talked about a few uses for reverse engineering such as producing replacement parts for any devices or machines or modifying any internal components. They also talked about taking notes on what you disassemble, where the piece came from etc., whenever you take something apart, which I noticed I haven’t yet done because of how reliant I have been on videos. For a future project, I might attempt to take something apart without the help of a video. Another thing the article talked about was computer-aided design (CAD), which I decided to give a try myself. I decided to spend some time messing around with a website called onshape where I was able to create my own 3D designs. I had a lot of fun with it and will definitely continue to explore it later on.
