I’m taking some electrical engineering courses, and it’s been suggested I learn some CAD to maybe get some autocad type jobs when I’m in school. When I looked into one of the drafting softwares, it mentioned PCBs and it got me wondering whether I could put my new knowledge to use and fuck around making circuits for shit.
The problem is, I don’t know what kind of stuff is even possible to build/how expensive it is as a hobby (not to mention, I don’t really want any more random shit laying around my house). 3D printing seems a little excessive, I just wanna fuck around with some actual working circuits.
Anyone into this kind of stuff? I think if I could get into hobby electronics it would help me understand things on another level, I just don’t have any clue how I’d even begin to investigate whether it’s something plausible for me
Adafruit and sparkfun typically have project tutorials associated with the hardware they sell for another place to browse.
I knew of arduino-type stuff but hadn’t looked into it much. But it does seem interesting and like the most likely way I personally would start messing around.
So great suggestions, thank you! Especially the tutorials, I already saw a cat treat dispenser that caught my attention lol
Awesome! Happy to help.
