Are transistors your weakness?

[b]They are actually super easy to get right in a circuit. I will explain the details tonight but have to get ready for work lol. Dont let transistors discourage you and creativity in your hobbies. They are very difficult for beginners to grasp but when u do its like, " And I thought this was hard?" [/b]

@Azlotto yes good ones can be. Theres always the aliexpress option but they are low quality and unstable. I like getting my components from jameco.
