You've got the supply, that's good!
Now, if you have the interest, then asking your dad to show how these components could be practically used for something interesting could as well be a beginning of a wonderful journey.
Perhaps, your dad just needs such a signal from you. In my own experience, Snap Circuits set is currently providing this journey.
- jason0597 5y agoOh I have interest in this stuff, it's just that it's pretty much useless for an engineering career. Plus, you can't really make any profit because a Chinese inventor will just copy your idea and scale it up and drive you out of whatever market you make. To be honest I understand more on how these components work than my dad does, he usually just clicks on the first results on Google and glues together Arduino/Hackaday projects. Whenever I talk to him about doing real low level stuff and writing actual drivers, it always goes over his head.
