Getting Started with Electronic Projects

Rate this book
Build thrilling and intricate electronic projects using LM555, ZigBee, and BeagleBone This book is aimed at hobbyists with basic knowledge of electronics circuits. Whether you are a novice electronics project builder, a ham radio enthusiast, or a BeagleBone tinkerer, you will love this book. With Getting Started with Electronic Projects, you will create several popular electronic security projects. This practical and accessible guide will show you more than just building handy and useful electronic security projects. Beginning with what the hams call "DC to Daylight," you will learn how to build everything from an IR Beacon to an RF power meter and a ZigBee point-to-point network. All you need to get started is a few simple tools and ordinary soldering skills. The projects eventually become more complex when you start building an infrared flashlight using materials from a dollar store. Here you start with a IR flashing beacon and a motion sensitive alarm with a really cool on/off switch, then you move on to a black box project that will turn your sound card into an oscilloscope and eventually a ZigBee-based alarm system.

This is cool book. It bring back all fun I used to have with electronics and new generation has a good resource to enjoy what I used to enjoy those days. Projects are simple and even young child can do the projects. I wish author could add couple more different projects, may be integrated to Raspberry Pi or Ardunio. Overall good book and recommend to anyone interested in electronics.
