Getting started in Electronics 001

I've want to get into building electronics for a while but I don't know where to start. So follow along while I figure it out.

 
I bought this kit from amazon. Here as my affiliate link to buy it. https://amzn.to/3XqMrxe
ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit

It comes with a CD with a guide but I don't have a CD player. However there is a download PDF. Here is a link to the guide. ELEGOO Arduino UNO Project Super Starter Kit download link 1

I got the kit and reviewed the guide, It was confusing and goes strait to programing. I don't want to program yet. I want to get familiar it the stuff first before getting into the programing side of it.

If I was going to teach someone else and help them get started in electronics I would have them buy the BOJACK 37 Values 480 Pcs Electronics Component Fun Kit. https://amzn.to/41i5ZEU. It's $15.00 and has the basic things to get started. 

I got into electronics because I wanted to put lights in a dollhouse for my daughter. I learned how to use the power supply and the breadboard with LEDs.  Here is a video that explains how the power supply works. 

Power Supply

From my limited knowledge of electronics I made a dollhouse lighting kit. You can watch this video of what I learned. 

I found this book at my local library and am now following along and trying to learn how to read Speck Sheets. Link to amazon https://amzn.to/4kkCFX7

Stay tuned while I explore the next steps of this new world of electrics.

As of March 2025 I found a great starter kit. It's called theamtech. I'm looking into how to get my hands on one. They are still in pre-order.

I'm going to just start posting kits I find that I would try here.
