Background: I took some 100 and 200-level courses on electronics in college over a decade ago. I still remember some stuff (Ohm’s law, Kirchoff’s law), and I can recognise the basic parts in a circuit diagram.

I am also happy to pick up a beginner friendly text book and go through the theory by myself, if there are any recommendations.

However, I’ve never even held a soldering gun. I am a blank slate when it comes to any practical applications. I get overwhelmed trying to figure out what kit to order on Amazon.

So, is there a course/tutorial you’d recommend for learning the hands on parts of it? I’d prefer as much handholding as possible. Ex – if someone sells all the components to finish the projects in the course that would be the course I pick.

    Where does something like “use a DC motor to build a tiny little fan” stand, in terms of safety?

      Very safe unless you attach razor blades to the blades.

      Most small DC motors don’t have enough power to break the skin
