Hi, I Hardware is not something which you can just decide to learn one thing after another. It is an intuitive and hands-on session requiring Labs in most case. I can try to tell you how you can do it, but you need a lot more than a computer and just few components. Also when you mean hardware, it covers a lot of subjects. So I think you want to understand difference between Hardware and Electronics (no, its not same) I will start with Electronics. You need to start with electronics more or less in the following sequence
1. Basics of Electronics - Fundamentals like Voltage, Current, Power, Frequency
2. Electronics Components - Active and Passive components
3. Analog and Digital electronics
4. Electronic Circuit Analysis & Design - Transistors, MOSFET's etc)
5. Analog Circuits
6. Digital Design and Logic Circuits
7. Motors - Now this is tricky, as there are so many types of motors. But if you are interested only in digital, focud on DC , Servo and Stepper motors
8. Sensors - Types, working, usage etc
9. Microprocessors and Microcontroller
10. Computer Architecture and Organization I can go on, but I think it will be a few years for you to get to these. The above mentioned track will get you started in Digital Electronics, for analog electronics you need to dive deeper into Power Electronics, AC Machines, etc. I have also left out signal processing and communication topics. Digital Signal Communication is something you might want to get familiarize with for wireless technology like ZigBee, Bluetooth, WiFi etc With Digital circuits, you may or may not need a lab environment, but for any AC related stuff, Lab is a must. Do not even try it at home without guidance. For skills you need to acquire:
1. Component Identification
2. Breadboarding
3. Electronic tools and devices - Wire cutting tools, stripping, soldering iron, de-soldering, heat gun, hotplate soldering.
4. Electronic Measurement devices - Oscilloscope, Multimeter, Logic Analyzer etc.
5. ELECTRICAL SAFETY TECHNIQUES. - A bad code won't kill you, but a bad circuit can |
