„Das Glück des Forschers besteht nicht darin, eine Wahrheit zu besitzen, sondern die Wahrheit zu erringen. Und in diesem fortschreitenden erfolgreichen Suchen nach der Wahrheit, da liegt die eigentliche Befriedigung."
Max Planck, (German Quote)
Intention: Here will be listed all projects, that might guides you or aid you during your journey.
(My experience as a reference)
Consider this like your Garden, where you can look around to pick your spade & rake. (Or other tools)
As, you would like to! :)

My Electric Engineering Travel
As someone who has studied electrical engineering, I would like to share the sources that I have found helpful and the approach I have taken in my learning journey. Starting out, I was quite naive and found the process to be quite frustrating. I learned that cheap does not always equate to better, and guidelines are not always accurate.
Additionally, it is rare for individuals to discuss their error rates or offer assistance during the learning process. Some projects may veer from their original creative vision, either due to a lack of progress or the absence of a supportive community. Despite these setbacks, the completed project can still hold value.
I have been fortunate to have met and learned from gifted friends who have shared their tricks and insights with me.
I hope you also find enjoyment in your leisure time.

Ordered by Time Expenditure (Not Chronology)
> Most time went into reading the right literature. I haven't referenced Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfried Hill or Halbleitertechnik by Tietze & Schenk, because it seems for a beginner to steep.
Spend time, browsing through this list. It is the most essential guide (better than this summary attempt.)
> Read books! (Skilled individuals)
Ich empfehle im Open Sources besonders, Mathe, Physik, CPU, Computer Science & Grafik.

Once you build your own lab, remember, that your purchase of an Oscilloscope is f.e. for the eternity!
One missbought and you'll regret it forever.
Or you'll lean to adapt to the smallest things! :)
Some Projects like the Ben Eater Project gave Errors, even though the 'Wiring' + 'Video' was correct. (Never works always according to plan!)
I have bought all kits, parts, and lab equipment from the earning during my part-time job.. (+ help of the famil)
Please separate 'electrical' and 'mechanical' equipment. (An electric screwdriver or measuring equipment saves ++time & trouble).
All the purchases have taken due the research a lot of time, which took during the built even more essential+ Zeit. I would like to dismantle the impression, that everything works straight ahead or that I can see every error. I quarrel often and had luck to met someone, who gave me a real impression.

Reminder: Schön scandal
My first Arduino Project with a friend for an enthusiastic professor.
Notice:
In Open Sources are all further explanations and Tools gathered.
Have fun!

Once you buy a part, you also buy the condition of the workers and the whole supply chain, originating from 1k km wide transports (Flight or Big Chip convoys)

Btw. Try once in your lifetime a library visit.
Go to the math section in the evening, when all the hungry students are gone.
Read a book. If it bores you, put it back on the shelf. (symbols were not readable to me) > Repeat
This will give you at random walk new inspiration. ( Also that Google & ChatGPT cannot beat a bunch full of courage & focused human book writers.)
It decreases the own arrogance to know the history of inventors & bright people. Did you know that the Fourier Series is between -pi .. pi divergent!? :o
