The Big List of resources for every Electronics hobbyist

Blogs

This is a list of personal blogs and websites (related to electronics) that I’ve stumbled upon, over the years. Some of these are well known, most are hidden gems. I’ve included the main focus of the each website alongside the links. It may not be right in all cases. Also these are not in any particular order.

I might have missed many, so if you know about other such blogs do comment below and I’ll add it here.
