Crash Course Electronics and PCB Design

I found this one to be a good course, it's well explained and can be pretty cheap if you wait for a sale https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/learn/lecture/10511838?start=15#content

I want to be good at modifying and building computers, and to be able to understand the latest trends in PC hardware and understand hardware of different devices at an electronic and electrical level.

Basically I want to be skilled at computer engineering but without having to get a degree.

So are you saying this course is a bad place to start:

Because I was considering purchasing it.

I’m enjoying this Udemy course by Andre LaMothe. https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/?utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=udemyads&utm_campaign=LongTail_la.EN_cc.AU&utm_content=deal4584&utm_term=._ag_80008209321.ad_367440909119.kw__._de_m.dm__._pl__._ti_dsa-815457717244.li_9069116.pd__.&matchtype=b&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuL_8BRCXARIsAGiC51CHSmh3mJHyJQZc30WlRATMNodfWrY1rCFrq44DCzi9i6_Y7LnjybwaAiBMEALw_wcB

Crash Course Electronics and PCB design

I think it’s on sale now too.

I’m starting out with this course on Udemy and watching a lot of videos on YouTube.

You don’t have to start out with as much equipment as I did as I went on the high end for a beginner. If you can tell me your budget I can help you find what you need within your price range.

I'm guessing this one udemy by André LaMothe

This has been pretty good for me. It goes on sale for $10-$20 pretty often.

https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/

Crash course Electronics on Udemy is pretty good from my experience. Over 100h of video material starting with the very basic. I got it for 10euros on sale, which udemy seems to have almost always.

If you want to learn about electronics repair, I would recommend starting to learn about basic components and circuit analysis. Getting an Arduino won't be much help in my opinion.

Start by learning how basic components work. Resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors etc. Building simple circuits on a breadboard to get an understanding of how each type of component can be used in different kinds of circuits. Experiment a lot.

There are tons of videos on YouTube of varying quality.

I would highly recommend the course "Crash course electronics and PCB design" by Andre LaMothe on Udemy. The only problem is that it isn't free. They have sales all the time so you will be able to get it at around 14-15 US$.

https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/

At the time of writing this, it has 103 hours of video. It's for beginners, so it starts with the absolute basics. It's a mix between theory and the building of actual circuits.

I'm not associated with Udemy, I just really enjoy the course and can't recommend it highly enough.

I hope this helps. Just ask if you have any questions.

This course might be worth checking out if you're a hobbyist. https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/

As someone learning electronics, ^ this is good.

I’m currently learning via an online udemy course which has some great information for what you need. It’s well worth the money in my opinion - also at the full cost! Note: I don’t get anything for referring - just think it’s worth recommending to another learner.

I picked up this Udemy course. Only just beginning it but it looks really comprehensive and well thought out compared to learning sources I've used in the past for messing around with little projects. https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/

I think I'm in a similar position to you. I'm a software developer with an interest in learning electronics/embedded stuff and tinkering for fun.

If you don't know much (or anything) about basic electronics, I got a lot of mileage out of this Udemy course https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/.

You have to be motivated to go through it though (and some portions can be a bit slow, that's where the 1.5x playback speed helps). I mostly got the desire to learn such stuff by procrastinating on YouTube, watching channels like EEVblog, bigclivedotcom, Marco Reps, etc. for fun, and wanting to understand it more. Much later, after seeing tons of JLCPCB sponsor ads, I tried KiCad to do my own boards, and things just kind of go from there, lol.

Not Coursera but Udemy, I've learned loads from this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/

Several hours of videos that involve lots of practical advice and theory.

Lamothe's books: https://www.amazon.com/Andre-Lamothe/e/B000ARBG92/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1

I personally have most of them and read them, gamedev has been a hobby of mine since I was a kid in the 80's and Lamothe is a great author and teacher and very noob friendly.

His electrical engineering course:

I bought it day one, because I was doing more electronic hobby retro console mods/repair etc, and he adds videos every month, the course is based on his Black Art of Video Game Console Design book.

I'm no way affiliated with Lamothe, I value the work he does and he's always very approachable and friendly.

I'm really just looking for help at getting a good starting place. I've been doing my own research and finding some resources I think that'd be useful for me. So maybe in sharing these resources I've found it'll be more useful in explaining what my question is that words. https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-to-design-your-own-boards/ this seems like it'd be really useful, and so would https://www.udemy.com/course/crash-course-electronics-and-pcb-design/ I do realize that what I was asking was broad, but the reason it was like that, is that I'm a beginner, and I don't know what I don't know, so it's hard to ask more specific questions. I was basically just asking for tips and help from those more experienced in sharing what they did to get the where they are. I will say though this conversation we've had has actually helped a lot in finding more precisely what I'd like to ask, so in a weird way this has helped.
