I've dabbled with electronics (circuits, the like) in and out of my occupation, but it's not enough. I'm interested in getting a little more familiar with circuits, short of taking classes at the moment. I've built simple 555 timers on breadboards, have a couple years experience on Xytronic solder/desolder equipment, etc. Looking for some sort of hobby starter kit with perhaps some learning materials, example circuits, required components, stuff like that. Neither of my local RatShacks carry this kind of stuff. I'd like to have the components used in the material included so I don't have to reuse old resistors and caps off Western Digital XT controller cards anymore .
Does Digikey or someone offer such a kit? I browsed but didn't see anything, thought maybe [H] crew could make some recommendations. If they come in multiple levels I'd like to start at the bottom and actually 'learn' the right way instead of just clueless tinkering.
thanks
