Background: I took some 100 and 200-level courses on electronics in college over a decade ago. I still remember some stuff (Ohm’s law, Kirchoff’s law), and I can recognise the basic parts in a circuit diagram.

I am also happy to pick up a beginner friendly text book and go through the theory by myself, if there are any recommendations.

However, I’ve never even held a soldering gun. I am a blank slate when it comes to any practical applications. I get overwhelmed trying to figure out what kit to order on Amazon.

So, is there a course/tutorial you’d recommend for learning the hands on parts of it? I’d prefer as much handholding as possible. Ex – if someone sells all the components to finish the projects in the course that would be the course I pick.

    I guess maybe it’s been a while since I’ve looked, but that soldering iron seems like a crazy good deal. I’ve been using a crappy iron with a way too stiff cord for the longest time cause I figured it wasn’t worth it for how little I have to solder.

      It really is, I love it.

      Having a readout that tells me the exact temp of the tip is fire.
