Electronics for Beginners: A Practical Introduction to Schematics, Circuits, and Microcontrollers

I am 1/4 of the way through the book, and I believe it is much easier than most text books. I compared it to another "basic" electronics textbook I purchased, and concluded that I would rather learn from this one first! It is not easy, but they start from the very beginning and progressively get more advanced. I also followed another reviewers instructions, and downloaded the answer key. It says it is a work in progress, but that is better than nothing!

If you bought yourself a breadboard and couple of electronic components, maybe arduino even, watched dozens of videos on youtube but still struggling to put everything together in your head - this book is EXACTLY what you need. When you want to design simple maybe but your own circuits instead of buying DIY kits that will teach you no more than soldering you need to know basics about components available and how to use them. This book is about practical knowledge, bare minimum of theory and math.

I love the way the material is presented in this book: very good and clean explanations, amazing examples to get even better understanding and practical exercises to polish the gained knowledge. I'd strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants start their journey into the fascinating world of electronic!

A good basic review. Not too technical but enough so to keep interest if you love the science if building and fixing basic electronic gadgets. Well written. Comfort with basic math, mostly arithmatic will help. A good reference book for the electonics tnkerer library. You’ll want tovl keep it around.

book does start from very basics.as it goes further in it will start throwing usefulformulas at you and give you a few challenges toapply the knowledge uou just acquired.one will need to be friends with math but thers justno way around it.book will train you how to understand schematicsand will go in detail on each componentpresent in it.500 pages of good layed out information.strongly recommend.1 recommendation to the publisher:I'd rather have the book available in spiral binder, that way it's easier to work with it since it's slso a work book and no way it should be shelf book.

The author provides an excellent barebones introduction on electronic components and digital circuitry.

Using this to help students prepare for the electricity aspects of the Arduino certification. Good coverage of multimeter use and safety. Explains circuits, drawings, and components. Solving simple 'complex' circuit solutions. Great discussion and drawings of breadboard. A plus that it loops back to the Arduino. I can display this with the classroom projector with the Kindle App.

This book's sample is pretty good in size. I like how the author tries to break thingsdown and simplify. I am on page 80, I read through the sample first and decided tobuy it.
