Could you or did you?

Are you waiting for inspiration to finally learn electronics?

Well, wait no longer.

I read this quote a while back, but I forgot who wrote it:

"I don't believe in inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just sit down and do the work."

Also, in my old gym there was a similar quote by Michael Jordan:

"I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will follow"

Are you putting in the work to learn electronics?

By "putting in the work" I mean sitting down and building circuits, not just reading about them.

It's nice to read about a project or circuit, understand the explanations, and think "I could do that".

However, sitting down and actually doing the project, so that you later can say "I did that" - that's what it takes to learn electronics!

Start with small and simple projects. Then progress from there.


Keep On Soldering!

PS: If you're new to electronics - or trying to get back into it - here are two ways I can help you learn electronics:

  1. Ohmify is all about building electronics and putting in the work. If you're interested in electronics and want to learn skills like soldering, circuit design, Arduino, circuit board design +++, then this is for you.
  2. 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...
