Learn Electronics Basics Free

Maker Tech

Start with Every Apartment needs this Upgrade! (WhatsApp/Telegram Notifications) (10 min, GreatScott!), then Forget WiFi! This Wireless Method is WAY Better? (ESP-NOW) (12 min, GreatScott!). All 320 lessons here are free, from the teachers' own official uploads. You'll need soldering station, multimeter, electronic component kit and a few more basics (about $140 of kit). The book to keep beside you: Make: Electronics by Charles Platt.

What you'll need

• Soldering station: Temperature control for clean joints.
• Multimeter: The first tool you need.
• Electronic component kit: Resistors, LEDs and capacitors.
• Helping hands with magnifier: Hold small work steady.
• Solder and flux: Good joints need both.
