Just found an incredibly awesome site…  www.electronics2000.co.uk.  They have beginner’s guides, forums, and all sorts of great projects that I can use to learn things and teach them to my kids with regards to electronics.

Best of all, they have free software!  Electronics Assistant is a Windows program that performs electronics-related calculations. It includes a resistor color code calculator, resistance, capacitance and power calculations and more. Details of calculations can be saved or printed.

They also include free for download on their site the EPE Magazine Index, A full index of all constructional projects published in Everyday Practical Electronics magazine.  The database has details of all constructional projects published since 1992, but doesn’t include details of other features and articles.

I’m really looking forward to trying out some of the projects once I’ve got my solar powered chicken coop up and running!
