Starting Electronics

Starting Electronics is unrivaled as a hobbyist, students and technicians. Keith Brindley introduces readers to the functions of electronic circuits.

Breadboard layouts make this very much a ready-to-run book for the experimenter; and the use of multimeter, but not oscilloscopes, puts in a widespread exploration of electronics.

The third edition has the simplicity and clarity of the original. New material includes sections on transducers and more practical examples of digital ICs.

• A punchy, practical introduction to self-build electronics


• The ideal starting point for home experimenters, technicians and students who want to develop the real hands-on skills of electronics construction


• Circuits use breadboards, a multimeter and widely available components, making the first-time electronics experimenter
