Electronics
Overview
As I am creating tutorials, I will try to include links to either the product that I bought previously, or a similar product if the original product is no longer for sale (some of the parts I have are many years old).
If you are just starting out, I'd recommend ordering this starter kit...
- Amazon link Great starter kit : Boardboard + jumper wires + some starter components (LEDs, resistors, pots, transistors, capacitors, switches, 74959 IC, CdS sensor, buzzers, etc.)
NOTE: I own many other kits with various sensors that we will also be utilizing in future videos. I'll add links to those kits as I use them in my YouTube videos.
Parts list
Breadboards
- Amazon link Great starter kit : Boardboard + jumper wires + some starter components (LEDs, resistors, pots, transistors, capacitors, switches, 74959 IC, CdS sensor, buzzers, etc.)
- Amazon link Large breadboard, very similar to the one in my videos. Great for prototyping LARGE circuits.
- Amazon link Variety of breadboards (2 with rails, 6 without) + jumper wires; very similar to other boards I own.
Wires
- Amazon link These are the jumper wires (Dupont Wire) I ordered. They have male/male, male/female, female/female. You can never have too many of these cables -- I also bought link and link; all of which are very similar.
- Amazon link I also ordered these jumper wires, which came with some rotary encoders. (In a future video, I'll use the encoders.)
- Amazon link These are the aligator clips I bought to clip on to various connections.
Resistors
- Amazon link A good assortment of resistors that I bought in the past. They are 1% tolerance (which is really good).
- NOTE: If you never owned resistors before, you may also want to purchase something like link because they have three color bands + tolerance band; which is fairly common in older electronics {so it's good to get familiar with the color codes} -- I own something similar, back from my RadioShack days, but it is not this exact same kit.
- Amazon link I love how easy it is to read the values on this decade box (and I own two of these) but they are expensive.
- Amazon link This circuit board has variable resistors, moving the jumpers around is a little bit of a pain, but it's nice to be able to get a precise value vs. using a trimmer or potentiometer.
LEDs
- Amazon link This is one of my main assortment of LEDs.
