Starting Electronics Construction: Techniques, Equipment and Projects

Description:

As a step-by-step guide from circuit design to finished product, this practical electronics book actually explains how to select the right tools and components for the job, use a soldering iron, etch a printed circuit board and mount the finished product in a case – and puts skills into practice through simple self-build projects.

Whilst most electronics texts focus on theoretical knowledge, Keith Brindley presents a genuinely 'practical' bench guide and reference for electronics experimenters. The straightforward, interactive style of this book makes it ideal for home electronics work and particularly suitable as an introduction to university lab courses for students who are not familiar with hands-on electronics construction. The book also lends itself as a self-contained resource for secondary school and vocational course classroom projects.

描述：
作為從電路設計到成品的逐步指南，這本實用的電子書實際上解釋了如何選擇適合的工具和元件，使用焊接鐵，蝕刻印刷電路板並將成品安裝在外殼中 - 並通過簡單的自建項目將技能付諸實踐。

儘管大多數電子書都集中在理論知識上，Keith Brindley提供了一本真正的“實用”工作臺指南和電子實驗者參考資料。本書的直接互動風格使其非常適合家庭電子工作，尤其適合對實際電子構建不熟悉的大學實驗課程的學生作為入門。本書還適用於中學和職業課程的自包含資源。
