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
