I am trying to begin to make a complete-ish list on what always to have in your jar, My hope and goal is to give this forum a list, every beginner can go to. :-) I hope that you please will help me to add more components. I.e. there are no rectifier bridges, caps and many other.
Every component can be bought in both SMD and THT so they can be used by everyone and in breadboard.
ALL in brackets [component] are suggestions, please say so if there is any errors at all!
