I've got no idea if this is the right place to post this; the options available are too limited.
I've been watching the Ben Heck Show for a couple months and it's hard to follow sometimes having no knowledge of this stuff. I recently decided that it's important for me to learn arm, c and asm so I spent money I didn't really have on a BBB rev C and absolutely cannot afford things like a breadboard or wires and LEDs and such. I am posting here for two reasons: I cannot find a resource that teaches me about all these parts and pieces and I also need to know if there is a place where poor people can buy good cheap equipment to learn with.. I entered the contest for the cool parts bundle and the computer but there's no way to tell if I'll win and I'd like to have somewhere to go if I don't. I'm not really even sure what general term is assigned to things like breadboards, transistors, etc
If someone can help me I would certainly appreciate it.
