How To Get Started With Hobby Electronics
Not sure where to start and what you need? Here is the complete roadmap for you!
From building FM radio transmitters to homemade lasers that can burn through plastic and wood, acoustic levitation devices that can make small objects float with sound to solar-powered mobile phone chargers — all of these projects and many more are the reason why many people take electronics as a hobby!
Getting Started
Getting started with electronics is very easy! All you need to do is study a graduate electrical engineering course for 3 years, read a bunch of textbooks on the subject, study lectures and datasheets and then you can finally start building circuits!
I'M KIDDING!
Could you imagine going through that process and still finding the subject fun and interesting? I surely couldn’t!
No, the only way to actually learn about electronics and have fun along the way is to actually get your hands dirty and start building things from the get-go!
