About the book

A unique textbook for electronics enthusiasts!

Building your own electronic device is the dream of every DIY enthusiast, simply bubbling up with ideas to make life easier for everyone. However, sometimes even great innovators lack knowledge, experience or skills. It's your problem? Do not worry! To achieve the goal, you need a willingness and a manual - such as this one.

This book presents the best possible approach to learning electronics. From the first pages you will start working on real projects. In a series of interesting experiments you will learn the most important elements of this puzzle and how they work. However, at the very beginning you will prepare your home studio - you will need some space, suitable instruments and parts. Then it will only be more interesting! Each subsequent project is a new, more difficult challenge. However, over 500 photos guarantee that you can deal with all your problems in a flash. Make your dreams come true and build your own electronic circuits!

  • Discover by destroying things - experiment using different parts and learn from mistakes.
  • Prepare a place designed to run projects: your own workshop at home, equipped with tools and parts that you will need.
  • Learn the key electronic components and their functions in electronic circuits.
  • Build a burglar alarm, Christmas tree lights, electronic jewelery, sound processors, a reflex tester and a combination lock.
  • Construct an autonomous robot that can study its surroundings and avoid obstacles.
  • Read the clear and easy to understand tips on what you will do and why.

Build working devices - from simple to complicated!
