What capacitors ,resistors etc… would i need to stock to learn?
i have a pack of resistors and some NPN and PNP transistors, is there anything else i might need?
i do not have a good stock of capacitors and was wonder how many and
of what values i should stock.
electrolytic and regular capacitors.
Plenty of 100 nF monolithic ceramic capacitors, and a few 10 uF and 47 uF electrolytics (10V) should get you started.
thanks i really appreciate that, i wished there was a beginner kit like they have for resistors for capacitors.
They are available, like these kits from ESR:
Yeah, SFE’s selection of regular through hole prototyping parts isn’t great. We figure most people can get simple components locally rather than through a internet order. Here are some parts close to what Leon suggested:
