David L. "Dave" Jones is an Australian Electronic design engineer and video blogger.[1][2] He is the founder and host of EEVBlog[3] (Electronics Engineering Video Blog), a blog and YouTube channel targeting electronics engineers, hobbyists, hackers and makers.[1][4] His content has been described as a combination of "in-depth equipment reviews and crazy antics".[1]

Life

Before becoming a full-time blogger, Jones worked on Visual inspection Circuit Board FPGA boards for the EDA company, Altium.[5]

According to Jones, he began publishing electronic design project plans in electronics DIY magazines like Electronics Australia in the 1980s.[1] In recent years, several of his project articles appeared in Silicon Chip.[6]

Jones is also the founder and co-host of The Amp Hour,[3] an electronics engineering radio show and podcast.

EEVBlog

Jones' EEVBlog YouTube channel was created on 4 April 2009.[7] [1] The channel features in-depth equipment reviews and electronics commentaries.[1] Jones has posted over 1000 episodes.

In a mid 2015 video, Jones disputed the claims of an unreleased battery life extender, Batteriser. Batteroo, the company behind the product, disputed Jones's arguments and published a number of demonstration videos in response.[8]
