Hey there,
So i am just getting into to analog electronics and i wanted to know which resources are the best for a beginner. I am not a complete beginner as i have done some small soldering projects but i don't know enough of the theory to do calculations and stuff, i want to be able to design an analog circuit, not just follow a schematic (which i am bad at) to build one - especially since when things go wrong it doesn't help that i can't really debug it since i dont know enough about the theory. Is there any good book/website/etc that teaches you the theory as you do small projects?.
What are the best resources for a beginner wanting to get into analog circuits. I have a soldering iron and some solder but i don't have any components really. I am thinking i need the basic tools: wire cutters, crimpers, strippers, flux, desolder braid, a multimeter, etc. As well as a bunch of components that are often used.
My second question is less serious: Do you guys get components as you go? or do you buy a fat pack of all kinds of resistors, caps, pots, etc to have around when you want to build something? Obviously this excludes special components but for the basic ones do you guys recommned having a bunch to have on hand? I am thinking i should get a bunch of components and organize them so whenever i need something i have it on hand.
Where do you guy your components? Local shops or online stores?
Also how do you store your components? I want to buy a cool storage box that i can neatly sort out all my components but i feel like a box with a bunch of drawers isnt the best thing (since each resistor would need its own for its specific resistance). What boxes, drawers, etc do you use to store your components. Is there a consensus on a commercial storage container/ what are your favorite ways to store stuff?
Thanks so much!
