I am new to home built lighting and circuit building but I would like to learn how to do this type of thing. The lights I would like to build are for a hub dynamo and maybe later some battery powered ones.
What would you recommend for a starter kit? I am thinking a breadboard would be a good choice and some kind of multimeter. I see breadboards come with different amount of holes, etc. I would like to hear some recommendations for a always to be novice.
Same with a multimeter, I am not going to spend the money to get a Fluke, just doesn't make sense for me. I will probably only use the multimeter for bicycle lights. But, I want something that is accurate enough to use. Is there a lower price point for good multimeters? What should I look for in a meter? Again, any recommendations are appreciated.
Also, what else should I get in my starter kit? Resistors? How many, what size? Same with diodes, capacitors, etc.
