Description
Simon Monk is an accomplished author of several books we personally like. This volume “Hacking Electronics – An illustrated DIY guide for makers and hobbyists” is well titled.
- It is about hacking electronics, which is the “how do I…” aspect rather than the “why does it…” aspect of electronics
- It is well illustrated. Lots of color images and diagrams. And we’re picky – these are pretty nice quality (not grainy or …weird) full color images. Nice on the eyes, and they really help the content of the book.
- It does cover hacks. Some elemental, some basic, and most of them of genuine usefulness. Very little cruft here that won’t be of some interest to a new hacker.
As with most book reviews we do, here’s a chapter list, with some of the notables in each we thought were particularly cool:
Contents
- Introduction
- Chapter 1: Getting Started
- Chapter 2: Theory and Practice
- (Nice theory of electricity)
- Chapter 3: Basic Hacks
- (Hacking a Push Light into a light sensor)
- Chapter 4: LED Guides
- (How to Stop an LED from Burning Out – handy!)
- (How to use a stripboard for prototyping)
- (Hacking a slot-car racer to add LED headlights)
- Chapter 5: Batteries and Power
- Chapter 6: Hacking Arduino
- (A chicken. There’s a picture of a chicken. How cool is that)
- (Charlieplexing LOTS of LEDs)
- Chapter 7: Hacking with Modules
- Chapter 8: Hacking Sensors
- Chapter 9: Audio Hacks
- (Pinouts for various audio plugs. NICE)
- Chapter 10: Mending and Breaking Electronics
- Chapter 11: Tools
- Appendix: Parts
