I guess you all know.. im a noob just like others here..
And for us noobs.. and for us that are not.. here is some good shit that you will all like..
Try them out and tell me how you feel now..
1. How to hook up L.E.D.'s
This is a calculator that you tell the system how bright you want the L.E.D. by inputing the (MA) value.. (miliamp) and what your power source is (voltage) and what power your L.E.D. needs to be lit up.. Then how many L.E.D.s you plan to use.. and this will tell you what resister and show you a picture of it.. so that you know what it looks like when selecting one to add to your experiment.
here is the link.

2. How to hook batterys in series or parallel
here is the link
http://www.zbattery.com/seriesparallel.html
3. How to read capacitor codes
here is the link
http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Capacitor_codes
4. Schematic Symbols for electronics... this shows you what they look like and what they mean.. so if you dont know much about electronics.. this will help you a bunch.
