Keith Brindley, Electronics and computing writer, Leicestershire, UK
Description
As a step-by-step guide from circuit design to finished product, this practical electronics book actually explains how to select the right
tools and components for the job, use a soldering iron, etch a printed circuit board and mount the finished product in a case – and puts
skills into practice through simple self-build projects.
Whilst most electronics texts focus on theoretical knowledge, Keith
Brindley presents a genuinely 'practical' bench guide and reference for electronics experimenters. The straightforward, interactive
style of this book makes it ideal for home electronics work and particularly suitable as an introduction to university lab courses for
students who are not familiar with hands-on electronics construction. The book also lends itself as a self-contained resource for secondary
school and vocational course classroom projects.
Audience
Hobby electronics, UK secondary school electronics and technology / High School, Further Education / Vocational, Undergraduates tackling
construction projects for the first time, Technicians, Electronics servicing students and practitioners, other craftspeople who need
to know the basics of electronics construction, e.g. intruder alarm installers.
