Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around resources and methods for learning to build electronic circuits by hand, following a course on electric circuits and solid-state devices. Participants share suggestions for books, courses, and practical kits to facilitate hands-on learning.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for books or courses to learn circuit building after completing a related course.
  • Another participant suggests a helpful thread on prototype boards available in the EE forum for building circuits.
  • There are recommendations to purchase starter electronics kits, which typically include schematics and explanations of circuit operations.
  • A participant shares their experience of buying starter kits for a young student to stimulate interest in learning electronics.
  • There is a suggestion to download a free circuit layout program as a supplementary resource.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of starter kits and prototype boards for learning, but there is no consensus on specific books or courses to recommend.

Contextual Notes

Some suggestions depend on personal experiences and may not cover all available resources. The effectiveness of different learning methods may vary based on individual preferences and prior knowledge.

Who May Find This Useful

Welcome to the PF, Paul. :smile:

There is a helpful thread that is stuck at the top of the EE forum that discusses using various types of prototype boards to build circuits:

You might also consider buying a couple starter electronics kits to build. They usually come with a schematic and an explanation of the circuit operation, and are a great way to get started building things. Just do a Google search for electronics kits, and pick a couple that look interesting (radio receiver, etc.).

I just purchased a couple starter kits for a friends 12 year old boy from https://www.jameco.com/Jameco/content/electronic-kits.html
He's a smart kid but not doing that well in school. He's said it's boring; hence the kits that may stimulate more learning interest.

Sounds like he's found a great Mentor, Don! :smile:
