Just read this book. After reading the copyright warning I was rather glad I'd paid for my copy
At the moment I will not be attempting any of the projects as I don't really have any need for them but even so, I'm sure this is a book I will come back to and use at some point. It's a very educational book with clear explanations of what all those little electrical components do that you see on a circuit board and is easy to understand without any prior knowledge in electronics.
This isn't just a book for magicians. Once you understand what these components do and how to put them together there is all sorts of things you could make if you like that sort of thing. I aso couldn't believe just how cheap most of these parts are to buy. It could be a good little hobby messing about with this stuff.
I used to work as a training officer writing training procedures and NVQ assessments in a large factory and I was very impressed with the way this ebook has been put together. The way it takes components one at a time and explains what they do and how they can be used in simple language is spot on.
