Believe me when I say you don't need to know the vocabulary. Everything will be explained or self-explanatory when you get it. When I built my Crack, I basically had zero electronics experience. I am a lawyer. All you need to do is read carefully, look at the pictures, and do exactly what you are told. Don't try to interpret or read into the instructions, just do exactly what it says and you will be fine. The instructions are as comprehensive as the following instructions on how to boil water:
1. Open the door to the second kitchen cabinet from the right.
2. Remove the 5 quart saucepan (silver, with a copper bottom and black handles).
3. Place saucepan in sink.
4. Open cold water tap by rotating handle clockwise 90 degrees.
5. When saucepan is three-quarters full, close cold water tap by rotating handle counter-clockwise 90 degrees.
6. Remove saucepan from sink and place on large stove burner.
7. Turn on heat for that burner to "high" ("9" or "10" if controls are numerically marked).
8. Allow water to heat until it begin to boil (water will be rapidly churning as large - not small - bubbles form).
If you can follow those directions, you can build a Crack.
