This topic is to discuss what you need to setup a basic electronics workshop. Talk about what basic tools and equipment you will need and roughly how much you should spend on each. * +

your gonna need something to build circuits on so you can test them and make quick changes. You should buy a bread board. These have lots of holes to plug components in and little copper strips underneath. This will cost between 10 to 20 pounds, dollars or bucks. * +

now you will need some components to make circuits. For beginners i would start with easy projects like basic audio amplifiers, 555 timer projects, basic logic gates, alarms, sirens, am radio, simple op amp circuits, oscillators, simple led projects. These will get you started. * +

the components your gonna need are Resistors, potentiometer, capacitors, transistors, diodes, basic opamps, logic chips, a 7805 - 5V regulator chip, 555 timer, LED'S, a small speaker, some push switches, a couple of slide switches, a couple of 9volt batterys and pp3 clips, some thin insulated solid core wire to make wire links. This will cost anything from 20 to 100 or there abouts. * +

First you need a good soldering iron and if possible a hot air gun.... * +

you dont have to buy all the components at once. You might just buy what you need to make a simple project. Over time you will collect lots of them. You are now ready to start building and experimenting. There are lots of circuits on the internet or in books. Check you library too. * +
