SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for books and resources to learn about electronic components. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding both the fundamental material science of components, such as resistors and capacitors, and their applications in specific fields like RF engineering. A suggestion is made to consider starter kits from Parallax, which include project books that provide practical introductions to microcontrollers and electronic components. This hands-on approach is highlighted as an effective way to learn electronics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
  • Familiarity with microcontrollers and their applications.
  • Knowledge of material science principles related to electronic components.
  • Interest in practical electronics projects and hands-on learning.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Parallax starter kits for introductory microcontroller projects.
  • Explore books on the material science of electronic components.
  • Learn about RF applications of low-inductance capacitors and resistors.
  • Investigate online courses or tutorials on interfacing electronic components in projects.
USEFUL FOR

Students, hobbyists, and professionals interested in electronics, particularly those seeking foundational knowledge and practical experience with electronic components and microcontrollers.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

What is your background so far? Your Profile page says that you have completed undergrad. What was your degree in?

What aspects of components do you want to learn about? The basic material science behind resistors, capacitors, etc.? Or how components are designed to optimize certain characteristics for certain applications (like low-inductance capacitors and resistors for RF applications, etc.)?

Or are you more interested in Integrated Circuits and semiconductors?

We need more information in order to offer you useful suggestions. Thanks. :smile:

You might want to consider getting a basic starter kit from a place like Parallax that will give you an intro to microcontrollers. They will have some project books that will gently introduce you to electronic components and how to interface with them for projects. It can be a lot of fun and a good way to learn electronics in a practical manner. Looking at the basic physics of components (i.e., resister, capacitor, inductor) is also a good side study while working on some hands-on projects.
