I am an aerospace engineer (currently in grad school) and I really want to get into (embedded) electronics. But I have this problem: I understand the theory fairly well, I took an edX course in circuits and had no problem. I can build projects from the internet. However, I have a very hard hard time connecting the theory with the practical part, understanding why projects are done the way they are done and I have a hard time to design my own projects!
Please help!
I'd appreciate the following: -General tips: how did you learn it? How is your workflow? What should I do? Which steps should I take? -Books: which hands on books and websites can you recommend? I am looking for books and website that are practical but also explain the why -Kits: What kits can you recommend that combine the theory with the practical? -Anything you think is important
Thank you for your time!
