So study math first

2016-07-25 01:58:27 UTC  

bottom up and top down

2016-07-25 01:58:41 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 01:58:51 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 01:59:08 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 01:59:49 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 02:00:32 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 02:00:52 UTC  

Thx fam

2016-07-25 02:00:53 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 02:01:07 UTC  

yeah

2016-07-25 02:01:13 UTC  

for resources, learn calculus at khan academy

2016-07-25 02:01:20 UTC  

I'm just getting in as a hobby

2016-07-25 02:01:32 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 02:01:33 UTC  

So not sure bout the college aspects

2016-07-25 02:01:51 UTC  

you need to know like voltage current and resistance

2016-07-25 02:01:55 UTC  

and shit like that

2016-07-25 02:02:21 UTC  

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

2016-07-25 02:02:33 UTC  

Is this suppose to be hard

2016-07-25 02:02:38 UTC  

what

2016-07-25 02:02:44 UTC  

what do you mean by high level people

2016-07-25 02:02:57 UTC  

oh

2016-07-25 02:03:06 UTC  

physics and math is like

2016-07-25 02:03:12 UTC  

the fundamental of the fundamentals

2016-07-25 02:03:21 UTC  

if you can't understand those, you're gonna have a hard time moving forward

2016-07-25 02:03:42 UTC  

you might find code easy, but that's a small part of electronics work

2016-07-25 02:04:02 UTC  

if you can't get past math, you'll find stuff that isn't the most basic shit extremely difficult

2016-07-25 02:04:20 UTC  

Any resources?

2016-07-25 02:04:24 UTC  

yes

2016-07-25 02:04:31 UTC  

if you're confident about math and physics

2016-07-25 02:04:37 UTC  

just buy art of electronics 3rd edition

2016-07-25 02:04:41 UTC  

college in a box tier book

2016-07-25 02:05:21 UTC  

if you're not, and if you want to just brute force your way through, youtube videos about arduino projects

2016-07-25 02:05:28 UTC  

and follow official tutorials

2016-07-25 02:06:00 UTC  

but to do like really complex custom projects you need to have a pretty good understanding of a lot of things before you can attempt something

2016-07-25 02:06:22 UTC  

Do you do this for a living?

2016-07-25 02:06:26 UTC  

kinda

2016-07-25 02:06:31 UTC  

i'm an electrical engineering student

2016-07-25 02:06:33 UTC  

3rd year

2016-07-25 02:06:41 UTC  

i'm interning at nvidia

2016-07-25 02:06:48 UTC  

Nice

2016-07-25 02:06:52 UTC
