One perfect project or 100 completed projects?

A while back, I read a story about a study done on some photography students.

The students were split in half:

One group was told that at the end of the semester, they would get their final grade based on the quality of one photograph.

The second group was told they would get their final grade based on how many photographs they could produce. 100 photographs being the top grade.


Who do you think made the best photos?

At the end of the semester, those who took many ended up with much better photos than those who tried to take only one perfect photo.

This works for electronics too.

If you want to learn electronics - build a lot of projects.

Don't spend a year trying to make one perfect electronics project. Instead, make many projects that are not perfect, but done.

Keep On Soldering!

PS: Wherever you are on your journey, if you want to improve your electronics skills - here are two ways I can help you learn electronics:

  • Ohmify​ is for people like you who are interested in electronics and want to learn skills like soldering, circuit design, Arduino, and circuit board design - while also building practical projects along the way.
  • Getting Started With Electronics​ is a short and beginner-friendly eBook I wrote to help people get started. It contains clear and simple instructions to get started building electronics. Perfect for complete beginners.

However, these counter tubes can be difficult to find and expensive; and, even if you do manage to get hold of one, you will still need to find a way to generate its operating voltage of several hundred volts. It is less well known that even a humble photodiode such as the BPW34 can be used to detect X-rays and gamma radiation.   more...     The Andonstar AD210, an Affordable Digital Microscope with a 10.1" Display The Andonstar AD210 is an entry-level model digital microscope with a large 10.1...
