Reading Electronic Schematics. Understanding which components are which on a schematic is more than half the battle towards comprehending it. Except for the ground and vcc symbols which just means connection to supply power.
Schematic reading tips identify blocks truly expansive schematics should be split into functional blocks. The lines between the symbols represents wires that connect the components. In order to learn how to read a circuit diagram it is necessary to learn what the schematic symbol of a component looks like.
Try recognizing which sections are which and following the flow of circuit from input to output.
This instructable will show you exactly how to read all those confusing circuit diagrams and then how to assemble the circuits on a breadboard. There might be a section for power input and voltage regulation or a microcontroller section or a section devoted to connectors. On a schematic you will also see a electrical components symbol next to it will have a identification number next to its abbreviation ie. Note that standard power sources are labeled with a circle that s filled with a plus or minus sign while an ideal source looks like a circle with a horizontal line splitting it in half.
