For SWEs what is a good way to get an intro into hardware?
- wrongbaud 3y agoI think the best approach is to start taking things apart that interest you, and learn along the way. For example - on my blog I use things like arcade cabinets and home routers to introduce some hardware reversing concepts: https://wrongbaud.github.io https://wrongbaud.github.io There is also nothing wrong with getting some of the arduino starter kits on amazon and using those to learn how to interact with various peripherals, etc.
- jazzyjackson 3y agoAdafruit tutorials and Neopixels can be fun with a very low barrier to entry. Get into sensors and networking from there. The RP2040 by Raspberry Pi is a great chip to start learning with micropython.

- JohnFen 3y agoI second this. Also, cheap electronics kits can be a great way to get your sea legs, especially if you take the time to work out why the circuits are designed as they are.
