What are some good resources to learn basic electronics?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding resources to learn basic electronics, particularly in relation to understanding components like H-bridges while working on projects involving microcontrollers such as Arduino.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a need for resources to understand electronic components, specifically mentioning H-bridges.
  • Another participant recommends "Make: Electronics" by Charles Platt as a good resource for learning about electronics, though notes it may not cover H-bridges.
  • A different participant mentions the abundance of online projects that provide explanations of electronics but desires a single comprehensive book that presents the information systematically.
  • Another participant indicates a preference for a different book, but does not specify which one.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have varying opinions on specific resources, with no consensus on a single best resource for learning about basic electronics or H-bridges.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express a desire for systematic coverage of topics, indicating that existing resources may lack comprehensive explanations or may be fragmented.

Hello. I am working on a project with my friends with a Arduino like microcontroller. I can understand the code and all but I don't know how certain electronic components(like H-bridge) function. What are some good resources to learn about them?

I like "Make: electronics" by Charles Platt for learning about electronics. /edit: it probably doesn't contain the H bridge, though

No idea about a single resource, but there are plenty of projects on the web, many with quite a reasonable explanation of how the electronics used works.

I would love to have a single book covering these things in a more or less systematic way though, as with web it is mostly hit-and-run.
