Ever since I’ve gotten into Retro Computing, I’ve been confronted about things like soldering, Circuits and Electrics in general… and it has made me want to try experimenting with my own ideas!
That does however mean that im still pretty inexperienced and thusly don’t have anything to actually experiment with either.
So what kind of Breadboard Kit will give me the best and most things to start getting into this Hobby?
Kits are fine, but they’re kind of generic. I lost interest in making LEDs blink pretty quick.
Some of the best advice I’ve heard is to figure what you want to build, and make that project your first learning experience.
Just noticed that “kit” is not the word I shouldve used. Its more like a builders set. So just a box with all sorts of stuff to go to town with!
Noted. There’s so much different electronics shit. It would be madness to try to have a generic box of stuff.
For example, there’s whole books of surface mount resistor values. I’m sure you could spend 100s of dollars just getting a little bit of a reel of all the common values and tolerance.
Never mind all the different and specific use cases for all the different diodes, and types of capacitors, and… The list goes on.
I think others are pointing you in the right direction of you like retro computing. A Ben eater kit isn’t bad.
I’d still suggest setting your goals higher if you’re up for it. Like rebuilding your own commadore 64 from scratch or something. I didn’t know if there’s kits for that.
I’m building my own flight stick and I’ve learned a lot just stumbling around in the dark without following anyone’s guide. Found more cool discords and resources than I would have just following a kit.
Hm maybe worth a shot. Just a bit worried as I got literally no real tech experience to speak of and pretty much got no clue of what I am doing
