| This is for beginners and very much by a beginner.
It's intended to get an intuitive overview for hobbyist needs. It may get you started, but to be able to do anything remotely clever, follow a proper course or read a good book.
Some basics and reference:
Volts, amps, energy, power · Ground · batteries · resistors · changing voltage · transistors · fuses · diodes · varistors · capacitors · inductors · transformers · baluns · amplifier notes · frequency generation · skin effect
And some more applied stuff:
IO:
Input and output pins · wired local IO · wired local-ish IO · · · · Shorter-range wireless (IR, ISM RF) · RFID and NFC · bluetooth · 802.15 (including zigbee) · 802.11 (WiFi) · cell phone
Sensors: General sensor notes, voltage and current sensing ·
Knobs and dials ·
Pressure sensing ·
Temperature sensing ·
humidity sensing ·
Light sensing ·
Movement sensing ·
Capacitive sensing ·
Touch screen notes
Actuators: General actuator notes, circuit protection ·
