Beginner Components?
manu793:
Always try to learn about basics. There are some links of components are given which are very useful to starts from the basics of components.
First, visit to know about Op Amp https://www.etechnog.com/2019/01/op-amp-circuit-diagram-types-and-applications.html
Know about semiconductor memory in digital electronics https://www.etechnog.com/2018/11/internal-structure-of-semiconductor-memory.html

--- Quote from: JacobEdward on February 19, 2015, 01:28:30 am ---I'm new to electronics and have been teaching myself as I go but I keep discovering new components that have really essential functionality (like comparators or digital potentiometers) and was wondering if anybody would be willing to list off anything really basic (along with a cheap part number I can experiment with) that you would think is a must for beginners to learn.
I've only really heard of/ experimented with:
relays
motion sensors
switch's
transistors
potentiometers
digital potentiometers
resistors
capacitors
diodes
microcontroller
LED's and Lazer Diodes
Photoresistor
Shift Registers
Multimeter
Servo and toy motors
Ultrasonic Transducer
RFID
Op Amp
555
Thermistor
Barometric Pressure Sensor

Incase anybody in the future might find this post of any use... if you're a beginner like me and are looking for cheap parts to experiment with or discover, this site has been pretty useful

Why did he include multimeter in it :-//.

If you are a beginner you should not start with µC(microcontroller).If you start with µC you are just learning to code not electronics. I recommend you to put it away for some time and learn all the basics and then start coding.

Sorry if some members will find annoying to come back to the JS vs C debate but after having read some comments I decided to add my two cents. So the question is: is it still true that real men only use C for MCU programming and everything else is just toys? I think there is now a growing tendency to change this point of view, especially with the new generations of programmers. I don't know JS and won't defend it here, on the other hand I know several MCUs programmable in C# (e.g. SoM modules from GHI Electronics). Some of these clearly target professional market, likewise recent STM Cortex-M MCUs now provide support for the .NET nanoframework. I also know a company selling test&measurement equipment controlled by C#-based firmware. Of course like for JS the CLR virtual machine environment slows down the execution by a big factor, but who cares in case the MCU only has to monitor buttons and drive some slow hardware and a LCD. As speed and memory don't cost much these days I guess the trend to replace C by higher level languages even in embedded systems will prevail in the future because for cutting developer time costs the advantage of higher level languages is obvious. Having a long experience in the use and teaching of both C and C# I can witness how much faster it takes for an average programmer to obtain a bug-free code in C# compared to C. This is a non negligible factor, there is a lot of buggy firmware out there :). Though I agree C will stay unchallenged in apps where getting cutting-edge performance by touching the bare silicium is critical.
