how capacitors work
how all the modules on boards work
how they make boards do certain things

really i just want to understand everything about boards. they are SO freakin crazy to me. like how does it know what to do? how does it do what it does? how does something so little do so much? its amazing to me. i would really love to learn about all that kinda stuff. it interests me so much.

i looked at basically all the videos on youtube about it and it didnt give me much info...

i cant really go onto the internet and read and understand. it will just go right over my head. i have to see it and hear it and stuff.

if any of you guys have any good places that i could go to learn this that would be great!

Maybe you should also consider electrical engineering as a field if that stuff interest's you.

I'm REALLY struggling to ignore the fact that you looked on Youtube for that kind of info!!! Generation gap coming into play here!!

You can purchase "educational" circuit board kits online, and some have training manuals (and yes, even a video!) that go with them. I seem to remember that they were a little pricey. A buddy of mine ordered one, and ended up making his own power tuner for his snowmobile.
