How I learned electronics [video]
How do you learn electronics when you don’t have access to a lab?<p>I live in HK, where real estate is at a premium. I’m a family of 4 people, living in a 700 sq-ft home with no garage. (And I’m reckoned to be on the fortunate side of things.)<p>There is no way I can set up a home lab here.<p>I know there are circuit simulators, but simulators are not the real thing. I think that simulators (the free ones that I know of anyway) typically don’t simulate random defects and <i>physical</i> variances that you would have to debug and deal with on the real thing.<p>There are also tangential, and nonetheless practical things that you cannot learn from a simulator: e.g. how to arrange your lab so you can work efficiently and with as few accidents as possible; how to make a good solder.
