Electronics explained in a simple way
If yes, keep this in mind:
Building a circuit and understanding a circuit are two different skills.
And you can learn one without the other.
As a kid, my dad taught me how the relay works. That helped me understand a simple circuit to blink a light. And we built it together.

How can a bird sit on a power line with thousands of volts and not get electrocuted?
When I was a kid, I learned that it’s because “the current takes the path of least resistance”.

We designed a cool display using 90 LEDs!
But, one of the first things that happened was this:
Almost everybody got different errors in the software we were using; KiCad.

Check this out:
It’s a workshop I decided to call Make Your First Printed Circuit Board.
The idea is that the members go through the whole process of designing a simple circuit board:

It’s morning, and I’m ready to take on a significant confusion. One that many beginners in electronics have.
Have a look at the following circuit:
The first instinct of many (including me many years ago) when trying to understand it is:

I often get the question:
“How can I learn to repair electronics?”
My response is:
