Quick Question

Where can I find a simple extensive guide of electronics? I find that I lack some basic understanding what everything does and what it is. For example, I have resistors down understood, but I don't know what capacitors or inductors and other probably general electronic items that I don't know their use in the circuit and what happens when used exc... Thanks!

I'm in the same boat,I just scour google for related articles.

Some searches

basic DC electronics
basic DC electronics capacitors
basic DC electronics inductors

When you try a circuit, do up a schematic in Fritzing and post in the electronics forum ( this forum ) for extra help.

Speak to an electrician, might have some old books that aren't needed anymore. Or a library in the technical section.

Thanks, I am quickly learning from all this knowledge that has been hiding from me for some time. I bought an Uno after seeing one advertised and I have ideas... in my head, I don't know what all avenues I can take when approaching a problem. I have been learning about sonar today on my spare time and how it can be used exc... but the other day I had no idea it existed, I knew the technology existed but not to the size that is used today for robots and such for applications. Thanks again.
