Starting in electronics after becoming disabled

Chaim

Hi all, I've been trying to start learning electronics after becoming disabled in 2006. I can't afford to pay a monthly fee or buy books. Could Element 14  give me some advice about how to start and move on up the ladder of Electronics?

Thanks

  • Ron - electronics is a ocean, depends where you want to swim. The tides can be swift, the ocean deep and cold. Start in the baby pool , warm water, with basic electricity... lots of free courses. Once feeling comfortable with Volts, Amps, ohms, AC & DC, milli henries, micro farads, picos, micros, kilos, megas,  After that can start into solid state devices , transistors - bipolars, MOSFETS, etc.. Can move into Arduinos, Raspberry Pis and programmable devices. Dive into Internet connectivity and digital communications. Reading is good, but real learning happens with building and experimenting - without doing bodily damage to yourself.
