Does anyone know of a source of good information on basic circuit design and theory? Basically a low level overview or electronics book for "Dummies"

Thanks for all of the info so far.

Hi Tim,

As a good read, I would recommend the following book available from Amazon; 'Make: Electronics (Learning by Discovery)' ISBN # 0596153740

Did RJ have the boards that you needed? if not I have a few here in Los Banos, that you can use, I also the parts for these boards should be here today or tomorrow.
you are more than welcome to use any of the items that I have until you can get what you need.

My Daughter lives in Turlock and my wife try to visit her at least once a month so we are probabaly headed that direction this weekend.

I have been playing with Diptrace.  I'm a newbie but it I just assumed the library of available parts would be more plentiful.  Seams like until you figure this part out you can't get much done.

My guess is once you figure this part out you can get moving.  I sure wish there were more how to videos.  I tried reading the manual but that's not near as easy as I thought it would be.

I see you can pay to have them built as well.  Might be a good idea if you don't care to learn how to do it.
