Electronics is fascinating - want to make something of it? This book shows you how!
You can make all sorts of things, once you understand whatelectronics is and how it works. This book helps you outwith that part, explaining the whole thing in plain English. Learnhow electricity functions, how to harness it and put it to work, what tools you need to build circuits, what you can make with them, and how to do it safely. * Mystery solved - understand what makes your iPod, remotecontrol, and computer work * Essential stuff - outfit your electronics lab with allthe necessary tools, including some that will surprise you * Schematic road maps - learn to read schematics andunderstand how they help your project get where it'sgoing * Symbols of power - recognize all the identifiers forpower sources, grounds, and components * Tools of the trade - discover how to use a multimeter, logic probe, oscilloscope, and solderless breadboard * Break it down - get to know the ins and outs ofcomponents such as resistors, capacitors , diodes andtransistors * Getting it together - find out how integrated circuitsmake all the rest possible and learn to work with them * & Analyze it - understand the rules that governcurrent and voltage and learn how to apply them
