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, a compilation of articles from Karl Lunt's long-running column for Nuts & Volts magazine, is a must-read for all beginner and intermediate-level robotics enthusiasts. Written in a friendly, straightforward manner, it contains entertaining anecdotes as well as practical advice and instruction. The author's stories about his various robotics projects will inspire you to try them yourself; and he shares his tips and code to help you. Possible projects range from transforming a TV remote control into a robot controller to building a robot from a drink cooler. You'll want to build them all; the author's enthusiasm for robotics is contagious!

In the January 2006 Nuts & Volts Magazine, Chuck Hellebuyck started a column titled "Getting Started with PICs" that focused on the beginner. It became a popular column and continues in Nuts & Volts Magazine today. A collection of those articles was released as a book titled "Getting Started with PICs - A Collections of 2006 Nuts & Volts Articles". This book continues where the first book left off. This book contains the collection of the next 12 articles that were published in Nuts & Volts magazines of 2007.

A step-by-step guide to the fundamentals of programming the PIC24H using the Microchip IDE MPLAB and the Microstick II as the programng tool.

Offers advice to aspiring journalists on how to write effective feature articles, and explains how to sell the articles to newspapers, magazines, and trade publications.

Electronics Explained, Second Edition, takes a systems based approach to the fundamentals of electronics, covering the different types of electronic circuits, how they work, and how they fit together to create modern electronic equipment, enabling you to apply, use, select, operate and discuss common electronic products and systems. This new edition has been updated to show the latest technological trends with added coverage of: Internet of Things (IoT) Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technology Ethernet to 100 Gb/s Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless technologies 5G New Radio cellular standards Microcontrollers and programming with the Arduino, BASIC Stamp and others Learn about the basic components of electronics such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits Discover different types of circuits, using the functional block diagram approach which makes it easy to understand their purpose and application Get involved with Hands-On projects in each chapter, using components and ICs with the breadboarding socket
