hmmm

i kinda feel like getting into messing with electronics would be fun, but it seems like a lot of things to buy and keep track of and i'm not too sure what projects i'd have in mind

@KitRedgrave
Perhaps, you could perhaps try one of those pi-top projects, since you expressed interest in those earlier today?
Alternatively, is there a "Maker-space" near where you live? Perhaps they could give you information, ideas, and/or resources for your endeavors?
https://spaces.makerspace.com/directory/

@marlyn that would be pretty much a "buy this thing and put it together" thing and i will go ahead and do that, but hmm

also there is technically one but i am always at work when they have their once-a-week open house things

@KitRedgrave
Hmm, if you're not satisfied with that, does your library carry electronic project books? Audio projects can be especially productive since their interface is relatively straightforward, and involve general-purpose components you can easily repurpose in later projects.

Though, "put this thing together" projects can nonetheless give you some level of insight into the anatomy of a functional project! though ofc watch your budget

Also, if you can't make it to the space's open house hours, do they have contact info you could use to arrange a meeting/introduction of some sort to the space, at an alternative time?

@KitRedgrave
ah my apologies, in the way I worded things i accidentally made the assumption you have access to a library, mbad

well *if* you do I think it'd be a good idea
