Make: Electronics

3. Getting Somewhat More Serious

I don’t know how far you’ll want to delve into electronics, but I do know that I’ve shown you about as much as I can with just a handful of components, some wires, a breadboard, and a few tools. To continue, you’ll need:

• Some more tools and supplies
• Basic soldering skills
• Additional knowledge about:
• Integrated circuits
• Digital electronics
• Microcontrollers
• Motors

The tools are not particularly exotic or expensive, and the soldering skills are easily acquired. Learning to join wires with solder is far easier than mastering high-level crafts such as jewelry making or welding.

As for additional areas of knowledge about electronics, they are no more challenging than those that I have covered already.
