Very helpful article for many levels -- particularly his recommendation about breadboarding. Not to sound like a broken record, but breadboarding from schematics is usually the fastest road to a deeper understanding of a circuit.

Good advice  they wrote the part about " don't expect to save or make money" after talking to my wife lol

That's where I started first and thank you very much to them......

Given that breadboarding from a schematic means looking up datasheets for pinouts, yeah

And I hate breadboards... No wonder I'm in the dark

I am not sure I'll ever love breadboarding, even though I've done it for years.  But it is a great means to an end and you'll definitely learn a lot in the process.

I like breadboard very much....you can play with a circuit during a week or two, to see if you like it and if it worth the pain to build it........and yes, it<s very educative !
