Hi,
I am a complete beginner when it comes to electronics. I am keen to start learning, but I also have a little project in mind, so I would like to learn "on the job" so to speak.
The project (if you could even call it that), is to build a device that will sit in a fridge or freezer and, if it hits a certain temperature, will sound an alarm.
There are such products on the market, but they all seem to have big flaws (the need to run cables to the outside of the fridge, very quiet alarms etc) - so I fancy a crack myself.
Just wondered if anybody could please advise how I can best get up and running, and start getting my hands dirty. Should I just buy a copy of "Electronics for Dummies" and a soldering iron?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Many Thanks,
FF
