In this chapter, we gave a very brief introduction to electricity and some of the more popular electronic components that we will be using later in this book. This chapter will give you enough knowledge to get you started building very basic prototypes. It is recommended that once you start more advanced projects you do further reading on electricity and electronic components.
In the next chapter, we will look at circuits and how to read circuit diagrams.
