An electronics learning lab, each component is connected to springs, so circuits can be wired without soldering.

Simple electronics is a wiki that anyone can edit, it aims to be a succinct and easily understood introduction to practical entry-level electronics, as well as being a useful reference. The intended audience for this wiki is the amateur experimenter. In fact the best way to learn about electronics is by doing practical experiments.

The Simple Electronics Wiki is a collaborative endeavour, and to succeed requires your input.
