"It's a shame too, since I thought the index was well laid out, liked the hot links within the text that take you to other referenced sections of the book and know that the content of the paper edition is probably outstanding. I've also added a couple of images from the physical and the kindle edition of the book to illustrate the issue that I'm talking about."
"I teach an introductory class in electronics at a small university. However, there were some notable gaps in the Second Edition that I typically teach in an electronics class; specifically, I teach a section on transducers and microcontrollers. I've been using the Arduino for class the last couple of years because most scientists would use a microcontroller to design a piece of equipment instead of discrete gates and logic chips. The chapters are designed to be somewhat modular; for instance, I can teach the basics of analog electronics and transistors and then move to microcontrollers without necessarily having to spend a lot of time time on discrete logic chips."

Programming Arduino: Getting Started with Sketches, Second Edition (Tab)
You will learn how to configure hardware and software, develop your own sketches, work with built-in and custom Arduino libraries, and explore the Internet of Things—all with no prior programming experience required! Simon Monk has a degree in cybernetics and computer science and a Ph.D. in software engineering.
Reviews
"Unfortunately, the usual books for "helping" with Arduino give sketches and explain bits and pieces without ever doing an overview of the system. Just got it today and have read over half of it; I've marked it up with pen to remind myself of crucial facts that I wish I had known a few months back. It's written at just the right level for beginners who are just learning about Arduino and microprocessors in general, and he points you to all the resources on the web for further information. So instead of having to copy and paste everyone else's code all the time, read this book to understand at least the basics of WHY things work in an Arduino the way they do."
"Easy to understand and get familiar with Arduino world."
"I got this for a friend who had just started assembling boards using Adruino."
"Too many other books and tutorials just tell you to build a circuit and watch it do it's thing without explaining why it does it and how to expand on that design. I look forward to starting the "Next Steps" sequal and continuing to learn what this little chunk of organized metal and plastic has in store."
"I'm brand new to Arduino, but I've been programming for 30 years."
"Good starting place for working with Arduino."
"Purchased for my 14 yo grandson who is into dp stuff."
"EXCELLENT way to get started in Programming Arduino."

Choose the proper tools and set up your workbench Ensure personal safety and use proper eye and ear protection Understand how electrical components work and why they fail Perform preliminary diagnoses based on symptoms Use test equipment, including digital multimeters, ESR meters, frequency counters, and oscilloscopes. His involvement in ham radio led to his writing career, first with articles for ham radio magazines, and then with general technology features in Electronic Engineering Times, Desktop Engineering, IEEE Spectrum, and The Envisioneering Newsletter. Along with building and repairing electronic circuitry, he enjoys table tennis, restoring antique mopeds, ice skating, bicycling, and banging out a jazz tune on his harpsichord.
Reviews
"I NEVER thought of circuits this way and the author was able to explain that the active elements are the players in the story and everything else is a supporting cast. Bottom line, this is the book that I couldn't put down...and it is about some of the driest material you can find. I cannot recommend this book enough and I would pay triple just for the section where the author walks through a couple sample circuits, describes each component's function, and what would happen if that component failed."
"Well written and organized."
"Read it slowly and use it as a reference."
"B&W pictures of some of the older devices are understandable but most of the pictures could've easily been replaced with new coloured ones."
"Needed so to learn more about plc.."
"Good book that gives some insight to those new to troubleshooting."
"However the author must assume, and you the reader already have a fundamental level in electronics\electrical to follow the topics he is teaching."
"A good book to have for reference."

Experiment with sensors, analog ICs, power, and motors Charles Platt is a Contributing Editor and regular columnist for Make magazine, where he writes about electronics.
Reviews
"I was an engineering student in college (although not electrical engineering) so I was always kind of upset that after spending countless nights of my life doing all sorts of crazy math problems with respect to circuits, I didn't know something as simple as how a relay works, or how to build anything except maybe a simple circuit with a lightbulb and a resistor. This won't make you an expert in electronics, it is definitely on the simple side of things (like algebraic simplifications of mathematical models that are actually rooted in calculus or differential equations), but that's exactly what I was looking for. Seems steep but if you plan on making use of your new-found knowledge for the foreseeable future, you will be using these tools well after you've worked through this book."
"Fun book, I plan on buying a ket to try out the expereiments."
"This book's layout kept me turning it's pages to learn more."
"Still reading it... but looks very interesting."
"Great simplified color illustrations and great explanations."

"No hiccups with the delivery."
"Anyone serious about radar engineering should own one of the editions of this book."
"Great book, but it tends to leave you just short of being very applicable."
"Extremely informative and well laid out."
"Descriptions of recent developments have been added, but some of the material that has made the Radar Handbook a good reference has been taken out. has 13 figures devoted to atmospheric absorption loss as a function of frequency, distance, and target altitude. The chapters on pulse doppler radar have about the same number of figures in the three editions. that let you determine SNR for nonfluctuating (Marcum) or fluctuating (Swerling) targets were all replaced in the 3rd ed."
"The question becomes whether or not you should go through the trouble of asking your company to buy it for you or just use the volume you have."

Reviews
"Some of the other books that I see concentrate more on passing the test by learning the test questions than actually teaching the material."
"Even though you could simply memorize the questions from the FCC test bank, you'll be missing out on a great amount of information that's useful to the new ham operator."
"After the training material, there is an excellent glossary, the complete exam question pool (with correct answers indicated), as well as a supplementary chapter on choosing a ham radio. Excellent graphics -- lots of tables, charts, photographs, and line drawings. As much as I love my e-Ink Kindle, this is the sort of book that is better in paper and in a large format. Table of Contents for the course material -- Radio and Signals Fundamentals; Electricity, Components, and Circuits; Propagation, Antennas, and Feed Lines; Amateur Radio Equipment; Communicating With Other Hams; Licensing Regulations; Operating Regulations; and Safety."
"Or, you can go to hamtestlone.com, pay about the same amount of money and, after studying diligently, in a week pass the course. I HIGHLY recommend getting the book AND signing up for the course. I have NO affiliation with hamtestonline.com other than 10/15/2016 took and passed my Extra Class license exam."
"If you want study material that will teach you everything you need to know to pass the Technician portion of the exam, this book is it."

"Here is my assessment of the quality of printing of the new Millennium edition putting is side by side with the 1966 edition. I love FLP but the printing quality of the Millennium edition does leave a bad taste in mouth. Below is the set this review is for. The Feynman Lectures on Physics, boxed set: The New Millennium Edition. The new edition can be fully read online legally for free. www dot feynmanlectures dot info. The errata for all editions can be found in the same website above. Below are the better printed edition (use errata from above). The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Commemorative Issue, Three Volume Set. The Feynman Lectures on Physics including Feynman's Tips on Physics: The Definitive and Extended Edition. The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Three Volume Set. The Feynman Lectures on Physics (3 Volume Set) (Set v). The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Three Volume Set). Basically any edition other than the Millennium hardcover or paperback edition should be good used with the errata posted above."
"Books arrived in decent condition, could have been a bit more padded for shipping as one corner of the slipcase was dented."
"Purchased in November 1998 and I have not found a better physics audio."
"Perfect gift set."
"It is really a rare thing to have upper division/grad level physics summerized in a beautiful way as a handy reference/refresher."
