Online or offline resources...

[xian13]

like electronics websites or books (and maybe a beginners tool list) that you can recommend for the beginner with absolutely ZERO electronics knowledge to start learning? Of course, I am interested in modding or building lights, I just don't know much about electronics and such.

http://www.allaboutcircuits.com might be a good place to start. You can pick and choose there to find a level of detail from absolute beginner to advanced student according to how much you know already.

Thanks for that link, Mr Happy. I look forward to checking that site out.

xian13, I am in the same boat as you. I've recently started looking for resources to learn about electronics. Here are some I've come across:

• The ARRL Handbook is a comprehensive electronics/amateur radio reference. Many public libraries will have copies available for checkout (may be an older version, but still worth checking out).
• A friend recently referred me to The Art of Electronics, but I haven't had a chance to get it yet.
• I saw this post recently and it links to a good eBook resource

Good luck in your studies.
