it probably would work for something right away to get an idea about some of the arduino stuff
But... but in the beginpost he stated that he didn't want to venture into arduino or other digital things.

no, i'm just buying it all together now because is surely will in the future, and then it's cheaper to buy it all right now..

but i'll just start with the breadboard :)

Do you have something in mind? I built logic gates and voltage regulators to start with.

i thought of starting with some simple led manipulations, in combination with potentiometers, buttons, transistors etc

i really don't know how you could make a voltage regulator, do you have some schematics of it?

No, but the internet has.

Make sure to not destroy your LEDs with too high voltage. Also I know you have transistors to regulate the voltage, but last time I messed with them with my friend in electronics it was rather complicated and a PITA.

When I didn't know anything much about electronics, I hooked an LED up to one of those huge lantern batteries...it was supposed to be white, but it was orange, then brown, then really really bright, then poof. It started smoking and smelling really bad.

Yep, the perfect way to fry a LED. Those are kinda fragile and burns for nothing, you know.

lol, well i never had it burnt before, but i had a yellow one that was red (from only 9V) but i detached it directly and nothing was broken (lucky me xp)

Use lightbulbs instead if you want to be completely safe (or tie a 1k resistor to the led)

yay, i got my breadboard, some leds, condensators, resistor and diodes, they didn't have any transistors Ö so now i con't yet make something useful, just some leds in parallel and serie lol

Yeah, most people tie resistors everywhere to be safe. Those'll be your best friend :P

If you're going to go with a development board, it'll be more software than anything. With my PICkit, all I have to do to light up an LED is put
Code: [Select]
TRISD = 0b01111111;
LATDbits.LATD7 = 1;in my code. No actual hardware modding. But it's still a fun and educational experience :)

ow many volts is that output? or is that the standard built-in led you light up with that?

You can make passive filters with those. Google RC low-pass filter and RC hi-pass filter. Those filters modify audio signals for example.
