electronics LEDs

WonderNomad · ‎2025-04-03

Just joined the community! I'm pretty new to electronics and am still learning the ropes. I'm currently tinkering with a small project involving LEDs and resistors.

I'm really excited to learn from all of you and hopefully contribute more as I gain experience. Any tips for a newbie just starting out in the world of electronic components? What are some good resources or topics I should focus on early on?

Looking forward to being part of this community!

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Hello @WonderNomad and welcome to the ST community,

That depends on what you want to do with LEDs.

It starts from turning on/off a LED.. 7 segments displays handling... till managing a matrix LED with MCU or FPGA example: https://projecthub.arduino.cc/ericBcreator/arduino-32x8-led-matrix-info-display-47eef3
