few questions:

- have you tinkered with electronics at all before

- what is your level of formal education

- do you have an engineering background, and if so, what profession

- how good are you at math

No, high school, no, level:asian

do you have an intuitive understand of differential and integral calculus

I just think the diy projects people do are bretty cool

So trying to get into that

are you currently in college?

Didn't cover that in school

Not yet

okay because knowing calculus will get you far

are you an underage nigga

you better check yourself

In electronics?

Calc?

calculus in electronics, of course

i am an underage nigga

the most basic shit is governed by first order linear differential equations

but anyways, there are two ways imo

So study math first

bottom up and top down

i started with top down for about half a year before switching to bottom up

top down = start with high level shit like arduinos and shit

bottom up = build up math and electronics foundations and work your way up to microcontrollers

top down is good but your productivity will be limited and you'll hit the brick wall of lack of fundamentals in about 6 months if you are dedicated

if you're pursuing electronics in college, do top down stuff before you get in, and do bottom up in college and you'll do really well academically and in career

Thx fam

if you're doing other engineering in college, just start with bottom up

yeah

for resources, learn calculus at khan academy

I'm just getting in as a hobby

if you haven't taken electricity and magnetism in highschool, make sure you get on that

So not sure bout the college aspects

you need to know like voltage current and resistance

and shit like that

once you get the basics of basics done, you're ready to do actual electronics

Is this suppose to be hard

what

what do you mean by high level people
