In this podcast, Bre Pettis shows you how to set up a breadboard for power and then play around with electronics on it Note: In the podcast, I mention Charles Platt's article is from Make: volume 11. Its actually in Make: Volume 10.

Radio Shack is your friend, $8 breadboads and unlimited components to get you started, you could probably get started for under $20

Thats awesome, Im playing around with my old retired NES (its been defunct for years :( ) and its got alot of cool stuff on it, a good starting point for learning electronics =D

That looks like masses of electronics, just to turn an led on, i guess the device i want to make will require even more, ive called it the earth reversal-a-tromator.
My first problem is what colour to make the housing box, i will work out the electronics later.
I will make a broadcast on every channel on every tv on earth when i am ready.
Now i just need to learn about those transistor thingies and diodes.

hahaha it's so east, even a 4 year old kid could make it! NOT !

Nice video. It's a lot of information in only 5 min, but I guess I'll just have to watch a couple of times before it sticks.
I was wondering: how much wire-stuff, soldering-stuff, resistors, capacitors etc etc do I need to buy along with a bredboard in order to be able to make some of these awesome simple circuits?
Regards

Well ill let you know what i did. These capacitors and resistors are preety cheap so get like 3 of each, if theres a big selection just pick out the small resistors because they are most common, then buy about 1 of each for regulators transistors and depending on what you want your device to do IC chips. Hope that helped

could you make a vid on how to make a tracking device on a bread bord and then switch it to a Sergent Bord plz nice vid
