Ever since I’ve gotten into Retro Computing, I’ve been confronted about things like soldering, Circuits and Electrics in general… and it has made me want to try experimenting with my own ideas!

That does however mean that im still pretty inexperienced and thusly don’t have anything to actually experiment with either.

So what kind of Breadboard Kit will give me the best and most things to start getting into this Hobby?

    I’d buy myself several sets of the preformed wires, a bending triangle, one of those pre-mounted sets of breadboards like the one above, and a cheap power supply like a DC310S. If you want to go really cheap, you can get the breadboard power supplies that fit right on the rail and are powered by a 9V wall wart and deliver 5+3.3V at a low amperage. I’d also grab some duPont wires.

    As for components, well that really depends on if you’re planning to do digital or analog projects. I’d certainly suggest a few ULN2003 chips for relay drivers, maybe a couple of ESP32 dev boards.
