Description

“This is teaching at its best!”

–Hans Camenzind, inventor of the 555 timer (the world’s most successful integrated circuit), and creator 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, creator of Physical Computing and Making Things Talk

A “magnificent and rewarding book. … Every step of this structured instruction is expertly illustrated with photos and crisp diagrams. . . . This actually is one of the best ways to be informed.”

–Kevin Kelly, in Cool Tools

The first edition of Make: Electronics established a new benchmark for introductory texts. This second edition enhances that learning experience.

Here you are going to find unique, photographically precise diagrams of breadboarded components, that will help you build circuits with speed and precision. A new shopping guide and a simplified range of components, will minimize your investment in parts for the projects. A completely new section on the Arduino shows you how to write properly structured programs instead of just downloading other people’s code. Projects have been reworked to provide additional features, and the book has been restructured to offer a step by step learning process that is as clear and visually pleasing on handheld devices as it is on paper. Full color is used all the way through.

As before, Make: Electronics begins with the basics. You’ll be able to see for yourself how components work–and what happens when they don’t. You’ll be able to short out a battery and overheat an LED. You’ll be able to also open up a potentiometer and a relay to see what’s inside. No other book will give you such an opportunity to be informed from real-life experiences.

Ultimately, you are going to build gadgets that have lasting value, and You’ll be able to have a complete understanding of how they work. From capacitors to transistors to microcontrollers–it’s all here.

Hans Camenzind, inventor of the 555 Timer (the world’s most successful integrated circuit chip), said that “This is teaching at its best!” when he reviewed the first edition. Now the second edition offers even more!
