That will have to wait untill next year. I live too far from town, and i don't have a car(just my learners permit). I am hopping next year my parrents will give me a crappy car. They said they would help get me a junker. But belive me, it is on my to do list!
don't try to build one until you are really really REALLY well versed
I don't plan on it. I have seen some of the innards, ooh!
I've got 2 soldering irons, and one desoldering iron. I just need new tips for the soldering irons. Most likely get some from Jameco.
I will get all my parts from jameco, but i don't know where to get the books. I will surf ebay. Should i just grab a bunch of digital electronics books?
Perhaps you might want to try hobby robotics or something where a lot of circuits are "prebuilt" for you and you piece them together (plug them into each other).
I purchased a BOE-BOT a few weeks ago. I will play with it somemore when i get a chance.
Do you know how to code? like program in a computer language?
Oh, you better belive it. I know QBasic like the back of my hand. I am very proud of it too. I have made some very usefull programms in it. I don't mean to brag, but man, i am good at QB!
I started VB a few months ago, but i decided to go down the electronics road instead. However, i do know enough VB to make programs for Windows that are somewhat usefull.
I tried C/C++, but i hated the code structure.
I am now learning assembly. So far i love it. It is so fun!
I also know alittle PICBasic. I use it for my two basic stamps.
What parts of electronics interests you?
If i had to pick, i would say Digital Computing. I love computers. From software to hardware.
Ok. I have about $50usc right now. What stuff should i get first? IC's? Tools? What?
