I recommend you start with a RaspberryPi and some bread board and basic parts, such as buttons, LEDs and resistors and some jumper cables. No soldering required, but you'll get a feel for the parts. Work your way up from there and learn more about electronics. Don't be afraid of frying things every now and then, happens to the best. I'd recommend using batteries or the 5v output of a Pi as a start, as the worst that could happen is maybe a a blister on your finger. Keep in mind that electricity is dangerous and approach it with due respect and you'll have a ton of fun! There's also construction kits out there that come with all the necessary parts and only need assembling with a soldering iron. If you design curcuits yourself, be sure you got the maths correct beforehand. Once you also take wood working or metal working into the process you can build amazing machines that look awesome. I recommend Adam Savage's Tested on YT, he's a huge inspiration :D

Main hobby: tinkering!
OK as someone who is in need of a new hobby, I am officially going to take "tinkering" as my next hobby!
