RE: Beginners

Hi Nick

I'm not worried at all :-)

The more people that learn basic electronics the better.

Building Nigels circuit will be a great learning experience. A simple
circuit that is difficult to get seriously wrong and easy enough to
troubleshoot via email.

I remember from college that the stuff we built from kits ALWAYS worked
first time.
The stuff I built at home almost always DIDNT WORK initially.

If you build a kit and it works that it.
you know it works
you dont know HOW it works

If you build something from a diagram and it doesnt work you have to fix
it.
To fix it you have to understand HOW it works. That gives much greater
satisfaction once the project is finally working and gives you a much
better understanding of which bit does what.

Nigel and Keith must be getting really worried, with all these
beginners getting their soldering irons out!  :-)
