Jumpstart Your Project Creativity with Circuits ......................................
A circuit is where most electronic projects start, so being able to find cool
circuits is essential. Here are several online sources for circuits that offer
stimulating project ideas.
Electronics Lab ...................................................................................
http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/index.html
This site is an electronic hobbyist’s dream, offering schematics and explana-
tions for several hundred electronics projects. Projects are neatly divided
into categories such as Audio, Radio Frequency, Science Related, and
Telephone Related.
Check out the download page for free, downloadable calculators.
Circuits for the Hobbyist ...................................................................
http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/circ/circuits.htm
Run by hobbyist Tony van Roon, this site is kept up to date with over 100
schematics and very active discussion forums on topics ranging from radio
projects to remote control and microcontroller-related projects.
Post your own message to get a dialog going with other people who share
your interests. One nice feature of this site is an absence of advertising: It’s
hosted from pure enthusiasm, not greed. However, Tony can’t handle non-
English messages, so those are deleted.
Tony van Roon also runs a site that features tutorials on electronics plus sev-
eral high-voltage projects for the adventurous (and safety minded). Go to
http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/index.htmto access this site.
Discover Circuits ................................................................................

This site is run by electronic engineer Dave Johnson, who states, “Electronics
is my vocation, hobby and passion.”
