This text, through digital experiments, aims to teach the reader practical electronics circuit theory and building techniques. Step-by-step instructions are used to teach techniques for component identification, soldering and troubleshooting.

The book contains 50 projects in all complete with comprehensive functional description, Parts list, Construction details such as PCB and Components' layouts, Testing guidelines, suitable alternatives in case of uncommon components and lead/pin identification guidelines in case of Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits (ICs). the first three introductory chapters contain a lot of practical information. the first chapter gives operational basics and application relevant information in case of electronic components such as Resistors, Capacitors, Coils, Transformers, Diodes, Transistors, LEDs, Displays, SCRs, Opamps, Timers, Voltage Regulators and General purpose digital ICs such as Gates, Flip flops, Counters etc.

Digital electronics is a little more abstract than analog electronics, and trying to find a useful starter book can be tough. For those interested in learning digital electronics, with a practical approach, Beginning Digital Electronics Through Projects is for you. It is published in the same tradition as Beginning Analog Electronics Through Projects, Andrew Singmin's revision to the popular Beginning Electronics Through Projects. Beginning Digital Electronics Through Projects provides practical exercises, building techniques, and ideas for over thirty-five useful digital projects. Some digital logic knowledge is necessary, but the theory is limited to "need-to-know" information that will allow you to get started right away without complex math. Many components in this text are common to either analog or digital electronics, and beginners or hobbyists making their start here will find and overview of commonly used components and their functions described in everyday terms. Each of the projects builds on the theory and component knowledge developed in earlier chapters, establishing progressively more ambitious goals. Step-by-step learning instructions help you determine the best ways of working with such projects as Schmitt Trigger Circuits, Versatile ICs, Digital Support Circuits, and much more. Two interesting wireless projects (an FM receiver and an FM transmitter) bring the final chapters of this book to a close. - Provides a logical step by step project-based way to learn the basics of digital electronics - Gives the reader hands-on learning experiences through building simple projects - Explains circuit design, circuit testing, and how to design your own projects

Debug, Tweak and fine-tune your DIY electronics projects This hands-on guide shows, step by step, how to build, debug, and troubleshoot a wide range of analog electronic circuits. Written by electronics guru Ronald Quan, Troubleshooting Electronic Circuits: A Guide to Learning Analog Circuits clearly explains proper debugging techniques as well as testing and modifying methods. In multiple chapters, poorly-conceived circuits are analyzed and improved. Inside, you will discover how to design or re-design high-quality circuits that are repeatable and manufacturable. Coverage includes: • An introduction to electronics troubleshooting • Breadboards • Power sources, batteries, battery holders, safety issues, and volt meters • Basic electronic components • Diodes, rectifiers, and Zener diodes • Light emitting diodes (LEDs) • Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) • Troubleshooting discrete circuits (simple transistor amplifiers) • Analog integrated circuits, including amplifiers and voltage regulators • Audio circuits • Troubleshooting analog integrated circuits • Ham radio circuits related to SDR • Trimmer circuits, including the 555 chip and CMOS circuits

This book is your introduction to to physical computing with the Arduino microcontroller platform. No prior experience is required, not even an understanding of basic electronics. With color illustrations, easy-to-follow explanations, and step-by-step instructions, the book takes the beginner from building simple circuits on a breadboard to setting up the Arduino IDE and downloading and writing sketches to run on the Arduino. Readers will be introduced to basic electronics theory and programming concepts, as well as to digital and analog inputs and outputs. Throughout the book, debugging practices are highlighted, so novices will know what to do if their circuits or their code doesn't work for the current project and those that they embark on later for themselves. After completing the projects in this book, readers will have a firm basis for building their own projects with the Arduino. Written for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of electronics or programming Filled with detailed full-color illustrations that make concepts and procedures easy to follow An accessible introduction to microcontrollers and physical computing Step-by-step instructions for projects that teach fundamental skills Includes a variety of Arduino-based projects using digital and analog input and output

This introduction to circuit design is unusual in several respects. First, it offers not just explanations, but a full course. Each of the twenty-five sessions begins with a discussion of a particular sort of circuit followed by the chance to try it out and see how it actually behaves. Accordingly, students understand the circuit's operation in a way that is deeper and much more satisfying than the manipulation of formulas. Second, it describes circuits that more traditional engineering introductions would postpone: on the third day, we build a radio receiver; on the fifth day, we build an operational amplifier from an array of transistors. The digital half of the course centers on applying microcontrollers, but gives exposure to Verilog, a powerful Hardware Description Language. Third, it proceeds at a rapid pace but requires no prior knowledge of electronics. Students gain intuitive understanding through immersion in good circuit design.
