With what help to pump skills in the field of creating devices using the soldering iron + programming method?

Question

Do it yourself

Are there books, devices (programmers, etc.) to immediately test yourself in business?

Answer 1

In this case, there are three theoretical directions at once:
-programming, moreover, systemic, not applied.
electronics, which is divided into digital and analog.
Accordingly, you will have to study all three directions at once + mathematics, which lies under all this.
From mathematics, you will have to pull up combinatorics and mathematical logic. This is the minimum to just "get started"
From programming - you will need assembler and C. Assembler can be studied using the wonderful debugger in AVR-Studio. Materials -
easyelectronics.ru ,
site of Nikolaev (the author of the uniprof programmer)
And one more site, for fans of web 1.0 zps-electronics.com
From digital circuitry - the above-mentioned easyelectronics and a wonderful book by Pei An - Pairing a PC with external devices
Analog electronics - Horwitz and Hill - the art of circuitry.
And practice - designing and assembling devices. You will need certain devices and materials, as well as programs. You should immediately take on a full-fledged integrated development environment for boards, in which the process is carried out from the scheme - and to the files of automatic board production. Such an environment, for example, is KiCad.
For practice, you should assemble:
Two-transistor multivibrator. It's such a Hello World! for an electronic engineer A bunch of
circuits using the legendary K155LA3
Somewhere after that, you can try to take on microcontrollers.

Answer 2

The answer to the question is with a soldering iron.

Answer 3

You take and create some kind of device you need, only light. for example, closing automatic curtains. while you create everything - learn the basics.
