/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1529373
Lots of people start with a radio. You can get all sorts of “All In One” kits. There’s a company called Elenco that makes a lot of project like that.

Do you have a multimeter? Do you have a soldering iron? Do you know how to use them?

>>1529382
Awesome list anon! Gems like these are why I come here

Hard mode is designing then building I'd say

>>1529406
The power supply is a good one to start too, and will aid you in future projects.

But if you’re completely starting from scratch, learn the basics of electricity before you start anything. Otherwise you will be stuck with “THE MOST COMPLETE STARTER KIT” and have no fucking clue what to do with any of it.

It sounds like you need to figure out if you really want to do this hobby first. Do at least a LITTLE bit of research before you start begging for handouts. Start lurking the /ohm/ thread at least.

Oh god damn it, I replied to a bepis post. Where are your damn Menthols in this pic?

>>1529421
See, you guys don’t hate me as much as you think you do ;^)

There is one or maybe two anons who have a severe case of Vaginus Silicosis and need to see a doctor about that.

>>1529382
I do own a soldering iron, but most of the time I usually use it to fix wires or for desoldering components off of circuit boards on my free time. As for the multimeter, I don’t really have any uses for the moment.

Go to a recycling center or an e waste drop off. Ask if you can have junk, usually at the recycling center they don't even bother asking any questions. Take stuff apart. Electronics is a very wide field. It'd be great if you were also very familiar with some chemistry, and magnetism. Magnetism is pretty damn important too, applied science has a great video.

>>1529471
Get a multimeter. They’re cheap and kinda important for electronics stuff. You can use them to trouble shoot a lot of things and make sure the correct parts are getting the correct power.

Go to /ohm/ and check out the make: electronics book (libgen.io)

I still have yet to do anything with that big kit I got.

>>1537352

No need to rush. When get around to it, it will be glorious.

B!

And I have a list of some other stuff I wanted to order. Maybe some potentiometers and a big resistor pack and some of those tiny mini Arduinos to fux with something basic. Variable resistor(s) too? Oh and buck/boost converters. I was watching some videos and I want to build a power supply because that seems to be one of the first things people make but I think I need an old PC.

Two other things: I wanted to attempt to make a jumper pack for my car out of 18650s. I figure if I do it right, it doesn’t have to be fuckhueg but rather a compact one that I could hook up for 5min and it will give her enough juice to crank over a low battery. And then a power bank for these printers at work that run off of a 7.4V pack and I think they use a 9V 1A charger.

One of those should be a good place to start. The 9V 1A charger seems the easiest. Or get those “Build your own radio” kits.

I've been in the trade for many years and i am currently finishing my degree. I will have to say that the best way is to just start playing around with things and you will figure everything out on your way. Then you will take on bigger projects or you will decide that the whole hobby isn't for you, which is no biggie.

is it not 50%?

>>1539639

50% means two answers are correct, so you are saying that A and D are correct.

spot the flaw in your reasoning son.

>>1539639
correct.
it is not 50%

>>1529382
Rolling. Op, get an old PC power supply, you can use the 5v and 12v for a lot of projects. You can also do variable voltage with a buck converter

>>1529382
Roll

>>1537362
both A and D are correct

>>1540227

correct. which means the percentage is 50%, which is answer B, so it is the right one, B and B alone is correct.

why is this even a question.

>>1540235
But you're picking at random. None of them are correct.

Try the Microbit

It runs Python

>>1539976
I think I can get 5V and 12V out of this clusterfuck, but I’m hesitant to do it because I don’t feel like shocking the hair off my balls with mains voltage and big capacitors.

Where's your knipex gear?

I’m currently in a dispute with them over labor conditions.
