electronics in general....

[Vepar]

hello there, i have just made an account on this forum so i'd like to say hi to everyone....

i think this might be a wee bit off topic but... lately ive gotten an eager desire to learn about robots tho i do not have much knowledge about electronics so i was wondering if anyone could share some info of any site that has electronics tutorials... as i stated, im a noob at electronics so anything that doesnt require online shopping is of much help

[SmAsH]

Well, tutorials don't require shopping
http://www.societyofrobots.com/
Any specific kind of tutorial your looking for?

[Vepar]

well actually, i want to learn how to hook up stuff... i dont really know how to explain it but lets say that i want to know stuff like "what does this diode do?" and similar stuff... was thinking of getting different books to read but unfortunatelly i havent had much success with finding one...

anyways, id like a guide from the beginning.... as i said "what does this do?"

[SmAsH]

http://www.societyofrobots.com/electronics_tutorials.shtml should help you with some of it.

anyways, if anyone else has any useful pages feel free to link, one can never learn too much, right?

Tonys Site with lots of tutorials and circuits

Their E-book is great, however at times it is hard to understand.
