You also need to accept that as a very beginner, the concise but accurate explanations probably won’t mean anything to you. Just like when a toddler asks “where do babies come from”, you don’t go into the details of ova, spermatozoa and the double-helix and why we need genetic diversity to protect the species against harmful genetic mutations. You say “the mommy and the daddy make love and 9 months later the baby comes”, and then iteratively go into more detail and accuracy as the child grows older.

Remember also that a toddler’s “why” and your “well I want it to be possible so I’ll just repeat the question” aren’t the same thing.

Not trying to go hard on you, just making sure you think about why you’ve gotten the pushback you got. It’s great that you’re curious, but be respectful of others’ time by not insisting on details that are still way over your head. Electronics is complex and there’s tons to learn, and you have to start with truly understanding the basics and working from there.

As for the components: google the part numbers to find the datasheets and read the introductions, as well as to find others’ circuits that use them. That’ll give you an idea of what they do.
Sorry but being around forums, never expect anyone to provide an A to an Q&A. But that's why people chat in forums, to get information and learn. No? Look through every thread that's been started and it's a question to get an answer. [...]
Honestly, I never expected any response really and I've been around a few forums to know many posts go unanswered
There are tons and tons and tons of answered questions here. If you find that you often don't get answers to your questions, or that you don't like the kinds of answers you get, consider that maybe you're asking the wrong questions and giving the wrong responses.


But right off the bat before I made a comment, Wrapper provides a pissy response. Look through all his post and you'll see he's pissy in nature to everyone.
Wraper tends to be brusque, terse, and stubborn (I've had many a disagreement with him), but "pissy" is certainly not an adjective that applies. And in this thread, his responses may be terse, but they're exactly right.

Honestly, I never expected any response really and I've been around a few forums to know many posts go unanswered and nobody can seriously expect any kind of legal repercussion for making any kind of posts, whether it's a Q or A.
Dafuck you talking about? Legal repercussions? Is that a veiled threat? Is it your goal to alienate the entire forum?

But yes I've seen all those datasheets but they don't put the parts in context or use case as a whole.
Many do tell you what they're commonly used for. But note that I specifically said …"as well as to find others' circuits that use them. That'll give you an idea of what they do."
