Electronics and Basic circuitry Help needed

[BlueBall]

I am looking for helpful links and how-to-guides. I am just starting out ... so-to-speak ...

I am familiar with OHMs law and a few basics. I consider my soldering skills to be good. I have a quality FLUKE multimeter and lots of patience.

If you have any Favorite Links you'd like to share with me ... I can assure you I'll read all of them.

I am looking for material on power supplies + regulation ... resistors ... capacitors .. Zeners .. relays .. diodes ... and pretty much everything else that applies to small electronics repair or creation.

Thanks in advance .... your fellow OverMoDder

Simplest I can find offhand is a easy LED calculator

Ironically I just read a huge list of electrical help sites and now cant remember where to find them, now im gonna be up all night trying to find the links

I also happen to like my Fundamentals of Electric Circuits book, but that doesnt help you.

Side note, I think I got side tracked for about 30-45 minutes scrolling through both your mods. Nice work.

I recommend a small app called "Electronics Assistant" it's free and a invaluable little calculator for various electronics parts. Easy to use, for windows.

I would like someone also to show some links the only powersupply circuits I found are ones rated for 2watts . Although I am gonna add becareful when working with those things capacitors can exploded and 110v a.c. is deadly.

Another GREAT calculator ... this one has about 12 equations I can use :>

I knew my bros at OCforums would come through

This guy wrote a pretty good article on parts, he has a link to another program in there as well. Very complete with his descriptions.
