Make: Elektronik

Heating things up, messing things up - that's how you learn.

The proven electronics school is now in its third edition. Many experiments to try out. All experiments are safely powered by a 9-volt battery.

Starting with the basic concepts, you can learn through your own hands-on experiments using affordable parts and tools.

Along the way, you might blow a fuse, make a relay buzz, or burn out an LED. In Make: Electronics, there are no failed experiments, as every experiment is a valuable learning process. With this third edition, the tried-and-true book is even better.

In just a few hours, you can build a reflection tester, a burglary alarm, a quiz game, or a combination lock - and modify them to do even more. After learning the basics of voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and inductance, you'll discover the fundamentals of logic chips, radio, microcontrollers, and electromagnetism. Each project fits on a single breadboard, and most do not require soldering.

All experiments operate at safe, low voltages, typically powered by a single 9-volt battery. Make: Electronics appeals to readers of all ages, from 10-year-olds to retirees who finally have the free time to satisfy their curiosity about electronics.
