electronics

Arduino is the hot open source prototyping platform for artists, hobbyists, students, and anyone who wants to create interactive physical environments. Getting Started with Arduino is co-authored by Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi, and incorporates his experience in teaching, using, and creating Arduino.

Tells the story of the team of men, including John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, who were responsible for the invention of the transistor at Bell Telephone Laboratories in New Jersey in 1947, and shared the 1956 Nobel Prize for their work.

"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.

Provides information about makerspaces and how they can be used to build a variety of robots and introduces robot concepts and robotics competitions.

"Students will unlock the mysteries of electronics, sensors, and LEDs with this book as it provides both technical information and step-by-step projects."--Publisher.

Describes how 3D printing works and how to get started with do-it-yourself 3D printing. Includes projects and further information on 3D printing suitable for young people.

Examines machines, from those found in the household like refrigerators, microwaves, and computers, to machines found in industry including engines, generators, and more. Provides information on the health, safety, convenience, consumer, and industrial applications of these machines.

"Modern life makes extensive use of electronics. On a daily basis, we use smartphones, computers, and TVs in the home and robots in industry and commerce. This title outlines the development of electronics, from early vacuum tubes to today’s microchips. It explains how semiconductors work at the atomic level and how they are made into solid-state devices essential for the Internet and other applications. A biographical chapter on J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron (the key to electronics), rounds out the text. Science projects readers can try at home illustrate principles of physics" -- Provided by publisher.
