- Some basic components like 555 timers, flip flops, op amps, leds, variable resistors/knobs, small speaker, etc.
For books, I highly recommend Getting Started in Electronics, Forrest Mims - [1]
Spend some money and get a good power supply, soldering iron, and multimeter. You need an oscilloscope as well but you don't need to break the bank. You can get started without it but you won't get very far once things get complicated. The multimeter is like using print statements to debug your program. The oscilloscope is like using a debugger.
Next is to figure out what you want to make. Things like induction heaters and tesla coils are surprisingly simple to make. You can make a tiny tesla coil known as a slayer exciter using a transistor, resistor, led, and some wire.
