| Basic Electronics Author: Bureau of Naval Personnel This book provides an excellent introduction to electronics using lots of diagrams, basic vocabulary and a minimum of math. This book was developed by the US Navy to teach ordinary people how to maintain shipboard electronics. It is very thorough because lives depended on the results, but very readable because students were expected to have no more than a high school education. The book was last revised in 1972 so it does not discuss digital electronics. It is nonetheless a great introduction to electronics fundamentals and to a wide range of analog audio and radio circuits using tubes and transistors. Catalog number: 16527.

| Digital Electronics Demystified Author: Myke Predko The field of teaching digital electronics has not changed significantly in the past 20 years. Many of the same books that first became available in the late 1970s and early 1980s are still being used as basic texts. In the 20+ years since these were written, the basic rules have not changed, but they do not provide strong links to modern electronics including CMOS logic, Programmable Logic Devices and microprocessor/microcontroller interfacing. Courses teaching introductory digital electronics will fill in the missing areas of information for students, but neither the instructors nor students have resources to explain modern technology and interfaces. One assumption made by all the standard texts is that experimenting with digital electronics cannot be done easily - in the proposed book, digital guru Myke Predko will show how readers can set up their own apparatus for experimenting with digital electronics for less than $10.

| Arts and Crafts Design Author: William H. Varnum "In this relativistic age in which de gustilrie non disputandum est (it is undisputed that each person has their own sense of taste), it is refreshing to look back to the early twentieth century when at least a few people were certain that there are universal rules for good art and also that they had themselves mastered these precepts and could pass them on to a society that loved commonly held values. William H. Varnum was one of those people. He offers here a textbook that will, if followed, allow students to 'directly apply well-recognized principles of design to specific materials and problems.' No situation esthetics here. In fact, he followed these principles in designing the logos representing his tools and ratio system on the cover of his book. "Varnum's book offers an enlightening, if somewhat technical, insight into thinking about design before World War I. There is no doubt that the Arts and Crafts period during which the principles of simple beauty married so neatly with function can be better understood and appreciated today through Varnum's perceptions."

 | Microcontrol'n Apps Author: David Benson "Microcontrol'n Apps" is an intermediate level applications guide covering Microchip Technology's PIC Microcontrollers. Serial communication as a means of transferring data between PIC microcontrollers and peripheral chips and also between two or more PIC microcontrollers is described. Use of the 93C46 serial EEPROM is detailed as an example. Since we live in an analog world, A/D and D/A are discussed with several methods illustrated for each. Conditioning signals from sensors with an analog voltage output is described. Interfacing PIC microcontroller-controlled systems with humans requires some math, binary to decimal conversion and vice versa, alphanumeric LCD interfacing and scanning keypads. Single wire serial communication with a PIC-controlled LCD module which can be built by the reader is included. A digital thermometer project brings these topics together as an example. The book also explains how to establish serial communication between a PIC microcontroller and a PC via a RS-232 conversion circuit and a terminal program. These techniques are used in a digital voltmeter/data logger experiment for uploading data to a PC for display plus graphing using a spreadsheet program. Moving up or down from the now familiar PIC16F84 to other devices is covered in detail so that you will easily be able to work with the new devices being introduced by Microchip. Finally, use of the Microchip in-circuit debugger (ICD) is described. "Microcontrol'n Apps" gives the reader the tools to design, build, and debug intermediate level microcontroller-based instrumentation and systems. Catalog number: 17822. Brand: Tinkering Supplies.

 | Time'n and Count'n Author: David Benson "Time'n and Count'n" is an intermediate level book on 16-bit timing and counting applications using Microchip Technology's PIC microcontrollers. More opportunities for creating fun projects are described. Learning to use timer 1 (TMR1) with it's powerful capture, compare and pulse width modulation (PWM) modes will expand your PIC microcontroller design capabilities significantly. TMR1, which is an on-board feature of many of the mid-range PIC microcontrollers, is a 16-bit timer/counter. The maximum count is 65,535 vs. 255 for timer 0 (TMR0). This is a big help! TMR1 used in conjunction with the capture, compare, PWM (CCP) module may be programmed to do useful things unattended leaving the PIC free to perform other tasks. A special pin may be used for external inputs to TMR1 and another special pin may be used as an external output from TMR1. The techniques presented in the book are useful for generating single time intervals and free running outputs as well as for measuring period and frequency. PWM using TMR1 unattended is also described. These timing and counting techniques serve as the basis for designing and building your own period and frequency generating and measuring test equipment as described in the book.

 | 123 Robotics Experiments for the Evil Genius Author: Myke Predko This book provides an amazingly comprehensive education in robotics in a relatively short number of pages. The book is organized into 123 experiments that cover almost every aspect of hobby robotics including mechanics, electronics and microcontroller programming using the Parallax Basic Stamp. Each experiment is 1-3 pages long including a tutorial and a lab experiment involving construction of a device or circuit and exercices exploring its operation and use. The book takes a very practical, hands-on approach to its subjects. Only a handful of pages include any math and that doesn't get any more complex than middle school pre-algebra. The book is very readable but very dense. If you read it cover to cover you will have been exposed to almost all the skills and components used in hobby robotics. If you work your way through all the experiments you will create several simple robots and will develop an comprehensive working knowledge of robotics. The material in this book will be challenging for most adults but can be handled by motivated high school students. Catalog number: 19323. Brand: Tab Books.
