THE ELECTRONICS KNOW-HOW YOU
NEED TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL INVENTOR
"If there is a successor to Make: Electronics, then I
believe it would have to be Practical Electronics for
Inventors....perfect for an electrical engineering
student or maybe a high school student with a strong aptitude
for electronics....I’ve been anxiously awaiting this update, and
it was well worth the wait."--GeekDad (Wired.com)
Spark your creativity and gain the electronics skills
required to transform your innovative ideas into functioning
gadgets.
This hands-on, updated guide
outlines electrical principles and provides thorough,
easy-to-follow instructions, schematics, and illustrations.

About the
Authors:
Paul Scherz is a physicist/mechanical engineer who
received his B.S. in physics from the University of Wisconsin.
He is an inventor/hobbyist in electronics, an area he grew to
appreciate through his experience at the University's Department
of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics and the
Department of Plasma Physics.
Dr. Simon Monk has a degree in Cybernetics and
Computer Science and a PhD in Software Engineering. Monk spent
several years as an academic before he returned to industry,
co-founding the mobile software company Momote Ltd.
He has been an active electronics hobbyist since his early
teens and is a full time writer on hobby electronics and open
source hardware. Dr. Monk is the author of numerous electronics
books, including 30
Arduino Projects for the Evil Genius and Arduino +
