New guy!

Hello Everyone,

I took electronics in high school but have moved away from it since. Well now I am in my forties and would like to rekindle my interest in electronics. I have had some luck building circuits from other peoples schematics and parts lists but now that I am trying to design a few circuits of my own I am burning through parts like crazy on my breadboard. I looked for local clubs without luck. Now I am looking for a message board to call home.

Hope to be helped and be helpful.
Dave

 

Hello Steve and thanks for the warm welcome!

To answer your question, well yes, I think I am really burning out parts but I can’t be sure. I posted my question in help forum so everyone could benefit from the answer. I posted the link below for you as well.
