Are there any online electronics courses for a total beginner. I know a few formula but thats about it. I build kits without knowing what the capacitors are acually there for, as with the limited understanding of resistors or why I am using one kind of transdistor rather than another.
Ive even soldered in the wrong components and it still all works ?
This site has some tutorials, but you will have to look to find them:
Everyday Practical Electronics used to have “Teach In” column which I found to be pretty well done. I seem to recall that they took all the magazine articles from the series and made them available on a CD. You can see if any of the items on their site are helpful: http://www.epemag.com/books.html
ta, riden, that site youve suggested to me to is gold!!
