What's the starting level? My electronics knowledge is very basic and I'd like to start "designing" some simple power circuits.
I know the basics of resistors, diodes, capacitors, transistors... And I could explain the most simple classic power supply: transformer, full wave rectification, capacitors and so on. I've built basic digital circuits (LDO + arduino/ESP + leds and stuff) and know some basic physics. I'm good soldering, though :D
- EricE 2y agoCheckout bigclivedotcom on youtube - he reverse engineers circuits all the time in entertaining and accessible ways; a great way to learn through practical applications.
- bityard 2y agoBig Clive is is one of my favorite people but I feel like it would be pretty frustrating (and possibly even dangerous) to try to learn electronics from weatching random chinesium product teardowns.
- tecleandor 2y agoHa! It's true Big Clive is always testing dangerous things. I sometimes watch it when YouTube recommends it, and I take it as a lesson of things I shouldn't do. Also, I think it might help to notice badly engineering things in cheap (or not that cheap) products. And I like his hand-drawn diagrams.
