everything I've found is either too simple or too complex.

Neither matters.

Starting matters.

If it is simple, you will complete it. Completing electronics projects is a useful habit.

If it is too complex, you will fail.

Failing is a useful habit.

Failing is what learning looks like when there isn’t a curriculum with lowered hurdles.

Shopping for a Goldilocks’ porridge is easier than failing. It is easier than easy projects. Shopping feels like work, but it’s not.

Just work. It is the simplest thing that might work.

Good luck.

This is a great perspective, and honestly one that extends to many (if not most) practical skills that one can learn.
