I havent build anything electric yet. Hoping to get used to breadboards and electrical components. Ive been working with computers most of the time. I have a question about schematics... very straight foward. HOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND EM? I tried reading this contraption: I got very confused, is there any keys or whatnot im supposed to know?? I just plain dont understand it. Anyone care to explain electronic schematics in general to me?
http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=46342 That will probably help. Though I can't see the image I have seen a schematic, all the symbols correspond to a component of some sort. That thread has a pretty good list of them.
so after i understand symbols i just peice together compnents using a representive system type thing?
Once you understand the basics of how each component works, you can then design a circuit using these components. Trying to do electronics without a basic understanding of simple components and laws/theorems is a little difficult. This may help you.
