I found this a while back and it's been gnawing at me something fierce. I've always wanted to learn electronics but I've never had something I wanted to build before.

I understand what basic electronic components and how to wire up a circuit, but aside from making very simple stuff like noise makers, trip wire alarms and paper towel tube flashlights, I don't have much experience.

What I want to know is, how much time am I realistically looking at to learn something like this? Let's assume that I spend 1-2 nights a week playing around. I don't expect to be able to just follow directions and piece it together, but if something like this is going to take me years to get to the point where I can build it, I'm just gonna go figure out something else to do.
