Some projects to get you into electronics:
Building a 555 timer circuit.
Build some basic amplifiers.
Build some basic filters.
Building a basic AC to DC convertor.
Controlling stepper motors with your USB/parallel port.
Building an A2DC convertor.
Building a USB controller.
Connecting a Wii controller to your PC.
Build a basic robot.
Lego Mindstorms - play around with this kit.
Build CERN.
- SingAlong 18y agoWhat's CERN? Googling CERN leads me to CERN an organisation related to nuclear stuff. European Organization for Nuclear Research
- judegomila 18y agoForget the last one. Don't try to make that project for a while - its the end boss.
- michaelneale 18y ago"the end boss"... funniest thing I have heard today. I will now on refer to the ultimate aim of a project/app as the "end boss".
- bayareaguy 18y agoHe could start small with something of the scale of Lawrence's first Cyclotron.
- dfranke 18y agoIf you want a real introduction to electronics, try this: Run 9V backwards across base and emitter on an NPN transistor while pinching it. I still have the scar on my thumb.
- potatolicious 18y agoBuild a robot - not one of those snap-together kits. A kit that comes with schematics and parts that you have to solder on. Just figuring out what goes where, in what direction, etc, and studying the schematics as you go, will teach you TONS about electronics. This applies for all "put together" electronics kits. They sell things like "build your own alarm clock" that I think will work just as well.
