Learning Path · path map

Choose tools by goal, not by subject.

Each path is a string of ready-to-use tools — just click left to right. The ones tagged Series are connected learning chains, where each step's output feeds straight into the next.

A Light it up

Drive your first LED without burning it out, and read off its resistance.

  1. LED Resistor Calculator
  2. Resistor Color Code Decoder
  3. Ohm's Law Calculator

B Passive combos

How resistors and capacitors combine in series/parallel, how fast they charge and discharge, and where they resonate.

  1. Voltage Divider Calculator
  2. Series / Parallel Resistor Calculator
  3. Series / Parallel Capacitor Calculator
  4. RC Time Constant Calculator
  5. LC Resonant Frequency Calculator

C Prototype to board

How wide your traces, how big your pads, and whether your wire gauge is enough.

  1. PCB Trace Width Calculator
  2. SMD Package Size Chart
  3. AWG Wire Gauge Reference
  4. SMD Resistor Code Calculator

D Wiring & pinouts

Look up chips, headers, and network cables to wire them right — and don't mismatch logic levels.

  1. IC Pinout Series ★
  2. Raspberry Pi GPIO Pinout
  3. USB Connector Pinout
  4. Ethernet RJ45 Wiring (T568A/B)
  5. Logic Level Voltage Reference

F Sequential logic Series

From a single flip-flop, build up to counters, registers, and state machines.

  1. Flip-Flop (D/JK/T/SR)
  2. Counter (mod-N up/down)
  3. Shift Register (SIPO/PISO)
  4. FSM (Mealy/Moore)

G Choose & source parts

Compare candidate ICs on the facts, weigh the trade-offs, total the BOM, and check a board house can build it.

  1. IC Parameter Comparison
  2. Component Cross-Reference Finder
  3. Component Selection Matrix
  4. BOM Cost Estimator
  5. PCB Manufacturability Class Checker
