This is teaching at its best Hans Camenzind, inventor of the 555 timer the world s most successful integrated circuit , and author of Much Ado About Almost Nothing Man s Encounter with the Electron Booklocker.com A fabulous book well written, well paced, fun, and informative I also love the sense of humor It s very good at disarming the fear And it s gorgeous I ll be recommending this book highly Tom Igoe, author of Physical Computing and Making Things TalkWant to learn the fundamentals of electronics in a fun, hands on way With Make Electronics, you ll start working on real projects as soon as you crack open the book Explore all of the key components and essential principles through a series of fascinating experiments You ll build the circuits first, then learn the theory behind them Build working devices, from simple to complex You ll start with the basics and then move on to complicated projects Go from switching circuits to integrated circuits, and from simple alarms to programmable microcontrollers Step by step instructions and than 500 full color photographs and illustrations will help you use and understand electronics concepts and techniques.Discover by breaking things experiment with components and learn from failureSet up a tricked out project space make a work area at home, equipped with the tools and parts you ll needLearn about key electronic components and their functions within a circuitCreate an intrusion alarm, holiday lights, wearable electronic jewelry, audio processors, a reflex tester, and a combination lockBuild an autonomous robot cart that can sense its environment and avoid obstaclesGet clear, easy to understand explanations of what you re doing and why Best Read [ MAKE ] Author [ Charles Platt ] – kino-fada.fr It s the best intro to building with electronics that I can imagine My only frustration has been adapting one of the circuits to a breadboard version i.e the LED blinking circuit A Pulsing Glow it sa function of my limitations though than the limitations of the book.The fac...Years trying to get into electronics but the tutorials online or other books just didnt do it for me.THis book explains very well some concepts that other wise you would not understand.The funny thing here...I studied Electronics throughout Highschool and University However, my textbooks and teachers did not make all the concepts clear to me This book filled some of the gaps in my knowledge Why was a transistor invented I know what a 555 timer does but why does it exist Who invented it and why , etc.Even or especially if you don t know a thing about electronics, this book is for you No boring theory, but simple experiments guide you through the fascinating world of electronics.All explanations are very clear Author has a good narrative style Pictures are excellent More web resources would have make it even better, as such as a few parts with deeper explanations for example, why I shouldn t do experiments with rechargeable batteries.Perfect and must have book for practical electronics geeks.A lot of useful ideas for beginners in electronics Somewhatintermediate hobbyists may find something in here for them as well, but probably not theadvanced types.Great book clear and detailed explanation of electronics using interesting accessible project.The cover says it right Burn things out, mess things up that s how you learn This is what electronics is about Charles Platt has given the electric shock to the Maker movement by writing an essential tome for novices and advanced experimenters alike I love the O Reilly standard fare inside the book clear imagery, text boxes, photos, precise and concise explanations As for the imagery, there are schematic diagrams, bread boarding layouts, hand drawings and color photographs everythin The cover says it right Burn things out, mess things up that s how you learn This is what electronics is about Charles Platt has given the electric shock to the Maker movement by writing an essential tome for novices and advanced experimenters alike I love the O Reilly standard fare inside the book clear imagery, text boxes, photos, precise and concise explanations As for the imagery, there are schematic diagrams, bread boarding layouts, hand drawings and color photographs everything you need to see what is being described The descriptions are apt and interesting as an book, totally demolishing any preconceived notions of dry electronic texts Platt has a way with words, as he does with electronics The book progresses from the simple to thecomplex, keeping your interest as you go along and when you run out of projects, there s another book The only complaint I had for this I couldn t get a copy of this into my hands fast enough I was lucky enough to check this out from a library beforehand...This book gives a relaxed view of doing electronics without tearing your hair out Of course you may have to switch components or discover that the little device or part you bought does not work exactly the way you read that it was supposed to Of course it takes a bittime to build and to test Charles Platt s examples show that you can cope Just be prepared and give your self time to ask questions and test the answers Which may not be permanent answers That is really good training for This book gives a relaxed view of doing electronics without tearing your hair...
