  1. Velleman makes good kits by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Best Electronics Kits For Adults?

    I've had a lot of fun building their kits, and they've got projects all the way from goofy beginner stuff up to some pretty neat advanced builds.

    To be fair, though, I don't believe they're much better about explaining the electronic wizardry than the kits designed for kids.

    If you want to learn more about electronic design, one of the best methods would be to pick something you're interested in building and get involved with the existing online community. Since the designs on these sites are open and constantly being tweaked, you can jump in and get your hands dirty.

    For instance, if you play guitar, check out the DIY Stomp Boxes page.

    If you're a freak like me for decorating at Halloween, build your own electronic Halloween projects. I built a Velleman "light organ" from a kit I found on that page, and built the electronic flicker bulb project from schematics.

    Just remember not to get frustrated. You learn a lot more when things go WRONG than when they go right!

    I agree. A better link might have been this: X10 Protocol or Intro to X10

    I'm going to regret slashdotting my own site, but my Halloween site has plenty of information on fog.
