I will get hate for this but on eBay I've seen a set of 200 different inductors for a couple of quid. As a beginner buying sets of different values will insure that you have basic parts to hand (mostly). I would also say grab some 74xx or similar logic, it's really interesting to build up a 1 bit adder for the first time. Even better buy a crap load of BJTs and learn how to make some simples gates with them. BTW getting SMD adapters are an inefficient way of prototyping. Either stick to THT for learning and designing, and move on to SMD for production, or discover the art of dead bug wiring if a part is unavailable. Ben |

Well there are good and bad on ebay, I'm one of the good guys ;) Some parts just don't exist in through hole |

From what I've seen on the forum, there is a general consensus that components on eBay are all bad and doomed to fail. I for one always buy from eBay, as it's the only way I can get stuff. In 3 years, not one part has failed me. I actually think i have bought an ATmega kit thing from you (with crystal, caps and socket?). |

I normally buy them off of ebay since I'm not the richest person in the world lol... btw, what does 74xx, BJT, BTW, SMD and THT stand for? What else would be a good beginner project that would illustrate the concept of induction, or anything you think would be fundamental (also if you could link to the projects you just mentioned that would be awesome)? I'm already on a project trying to triple the voltage from a microcontroller with capacitors and diodes (though I've been getting some weird results )... I've done a basic hookup with a motor and a switch where I've switch the polarity to reverse the direction of the spin (though my op amps and transistors are still in the mail so I haven't been able to do too much so far)... I would like to build my own motor driver circuit if you could give a few pointers on that, I already have a microcontroller so I'm not sure why I would need to use a separate module since my microcontroller already has PWM and DAC pins... |
