This volume marks the progression of digital technology from yesterday's music box to today's state-of-the-art Smart Phone and nano-circuits. The science innovators, engineers and entrepreneurs are profiled and page spreads are designed with chronological technology benchmarks. With clear text, timelines and abundant images, the changes that technology has brought to our daily lives are examined along with (3z(BA Different View(3y (Bsidebars that discuss how these technologies were perceived in the past.

This full-color introduction and reference to all aspects of DIY electronics is the perfect companion for every hobbyist.

Discover the inner-workings of electronics through innovative hands-on experiments. Are you fascinated by the power of even the smallest electronic device? Electronics from the Ground Up guides you through step-by-step experiments that reveal how electronic circuits function so you can advance your skills and design custom circuits. You'll work with a range of circuits and signals related to optical emitters and receivers, audio, oscillators, and video. This practical resource explains components, construction techniques, basic test equipment, circuit analysis, and troubleshooting. Photographs, schematics, equations, and graphs are included throughout. By the end of the book, you'll be able to hack and modify existing circuits to create your own unique designs. Do-it-yourself experiments cover: Batteries, lamps, and flashlights Light emitters and receivers Diodes, rectifiers, and associated circuits Transistors, FETs, and vacuum tubes Amplifiers and feedback Audio signals and circuits Oscillators AM and FM signals and circuits Video basics, including video.--.

Helps you learn important concepts of electronics while you work on real projects. This book is suitable for beginners as well as people with intermediate skills who want to learn more, as well as for students or hobbyists.

The Islanders modernize the old Mammoth Inn and need to install useful tools that rely on sensors, such as smoke detectors, automatic doors, and security alarms.

"Life was better in the old days. Or was it? That's the question Greg Heffley is asking as his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free. But modern life has its conveniences, and Greg isn't cut out for an old-fashioned world. With tension building inside and outside the Heffley home, will Greg find a way to survive?"--.

Provides information about makerspaces and how they are allowing people to explore electronics and Arduino to create gadgets and other projects.
