Reddit reviews Geeetech Iduino Nano 328 ATmega328 Board V3.0 5V/16Mhz compatible with Arduino’s IDE

Thanks for the informative reply! I really appreciate it! I am on a budget, but i am willing to wait for better parts, It is just going to be about a month before i can work again, and i don't feel like the kit i got will last me long enough(In terms of things to do with it).

Would you recommend reading more into reading/understanding voltages, resistances, and currents? Or can i pick up most of that from a good multimeter, testing how much parts can take(when i can) and knowing what is bad and good?

I am not a fan of tutorials, unless they explain what each part does, rather than "This goes here so this works".

I have watched a lot of videos on how to do certain things, like always keeping the power supply off until you work with parts, and short circuits, and the basics of soldering. I already got the arduino software installed, and i am planning on ordering a simple microcontroller to use on my lcd display. I got the programming down already, just seeing if i should get the cheaper one. What is the lowest you would spend on a decent multimeter? I have one that is about 10$ bookmarked, and now that you mentioned it, i am having second thoughts.
