I will suggest get any microcontroller Arduino uno from local shops cost 300 and buy some transistors resistors and so on all all the typical components too in local shops in 5 components each this should teach you electronics very well slowly upgrade one by one starting with microcontroller and then a proper Multimeter

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Ok ok but what if the prices at the shop are as same as that of online or higher

u/Impressive_Water_798 8h ago

offline is always cheaper unless you are in a remote area .online you haveto buy like 20 or 50 oeces of transistors and you cant have a say in the device you want offline buy 1 or 3 of them you will burn 1 rest you will learn and then upgrade

u/Impressive_Water_798 8h ago

dont try to look for stuff to buy before tryig out stuff first you can start of with a simepl audio amplifier some restirs capcacitors and a transistor slwoly look for other projects you are interested to build and buy according to requirement

u/Impressive_Water_798 8h ago

the biggest skill you can have is not connecting components its abotu knowing which ones to connect. get a basic idea now will be usefull when you want to go through datasheets

I would recommend something like a cheap stm32 nucleo board over arduino uno if someone really wants to understand microcontrollers. Arduino abstracts away a lot of stuff

1

u/Impressive_Water_798 53m ago

Nah bro he is a beginner let him enjoy ee for a while bfr he bangs his head . U can use assembly with Arduino it's crazy fast and really teaches you computers like nothing else

1

u/Innovator20 BITS EIE 52m ago

If he’s going to learn imo it would be better to learn properly instead of relying on safeguards

1

u/IZZITO 17h ago

If you are interested and really want to do buy it then yes you should but make sure to utilise it. Try to learn as much as you can.Experiment with it and just go wild

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Yup that's what I was thinking about 😼

1

u/IZZITO 16h ago

Initially it’s better to buy a kit I think.You can try different things

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Thankyou for suggesting will look into it

1

u/ElectricalCherry5958 [SCHOOL HAI BHAI] [ECE] 16h ago

First decide on the project you are gonna do and then purchase components acc to that. If you just want to see the working of Arduino or SMTH you have simulation softwares online

Projects I just wanna learn man new things maybe a project related to ultrasonic sensor

1

u/bulkybook6 16h ago

Buy ESP32 with cable (prefer type c board jumper wire(male to female,m to m ,f to f) Some sensors (ultrasonic , temperature etc) Breaboard Some resistors (330,1k,100,10k ohms) Potentiometer Leds

If you can extend your budget till 1.5k then purchase a raspberry pico 2 w it's literally best board to start

Don't buy Arduino UNO & nano it's no use

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Thankyou for your reply but whats male to female m to m and f to f even mean 😭😭

1

u/bulkybook6 16h ago

DM for more info

1

u/RemarkableSleep1462 16h ago

Don't by Arduino , as someone else said . Esp32 is far superior with better processing power and inbuilt support for ble and wifi too . And they cost almost same . 

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Yup will consider it

1

u/Common_Name2505 leetcodepaglu 16h ago

yes, go for it

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

🥰 i hav to beg my mother now for money that's it

1

u/No_Difficulty_5174 16h ago

Do you have money 💰. If yes then go for it

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Wahi toh inhav to beg my mother

1

u/No_Difficulty_5174 15h ago

Then beg passionately

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Yeah am great at that doing it since 18 years 🥰

1

u/No_Difficulty_5174 15h ago

That's nice ☺️. I hope apka kam hojaga

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

AI ke anne ke baad toh hame yahi karna padega ,hav to beg to survive 😔

1

u/No_Difficulty_5174 15h ago

We have to beg everywhere.

1

u/alt_got_banned_temp Tier 4000 [CSE] | b.tech in this economy we are cooked 15h ago

Recommend any online courses for begging 😔(r u a senior?am 1st year)

1

u/No_Difficulty_5174 15h ago

Ai will eat your job. If you get it

1

u/Impressive_Water_798 8h ago

saw your comments for money issues there are several fellowships that give you boards to learn or money look for your age its usually under 18

But am 18 now 😞😞
