Understanding how/why Arduino works?

Former Member

Hi, I am really interested in learning electronics (which I know virtually nothing about). I saw some videos about Arduino and RPi, and think they're really cool.

 

But I have one problem with these products. They're already made for you, and you simply use them. I can see how the Arduino can be useful for electronics projects, but it doesn't really tell me how/why the Arduino does what it does.

 

I would like to know how to create my own circuit, from scratch, that can do what the Arduino/RPi does. Is this possible, or too difficult?

 

I really want to have a low-level understanding of electronics. I don't know where to start, or what resources would be helpful.

 

EDIT: Like, for example, I would like to be able to get into the mindset of the people who made the Arduino/RPi, and understand how they made them and everything they knew about the various components (chips on the circuit, pins, capacitors, etc.)

 

Thanks in advance,

Alex.

    Hi Alex,

    I am pleased to hear that you have the inclination to learn electronics from the foundation up. While the path to learning anything is sometimes difficult it will be worth it if you stick with it. Electronics is lots of fun which makes the learning easier. Check out the link that gave you as this is something the we put together to give new enthusiasts like yourself a good place to start. Good luck and I hope to see you on the forum, asking questions and answering them too as you feel comfortable and more knowledgeable.
