Make: More Electronics: Journey Deep Into the World of Logic Chips, Amplifiers, Sensors, and Randomicity by Charles Platt (PDF)

Description

Want to learn even more about electronics in a fun, hands-on way? If you finished the projects in Make: Electronics, or if you’re already familiar with the material in that book, you’re ready for Make: More Electronics. Right away, you’ll start working on real projects, and you’ll explore all the key components and essential principles through the book’s collection of experiments. You’ll build the circuits first, then learn the theory behind them!This book picks up where Make: Electronics left off: you’ll work with components like comparators, light sensors, higher-level logic chips, multiplexers, shift registers, encoders, decoders, and magnetic sensors. You’ll also learn about topics like audio amplification, randomicity, as well as positive and negative feedback. With step-by-step instructions, and hundreds of color photographs and illustrations, this book will help you use — and understand — intermediate to advanced electronics concepts and techniques.

Editorial Reviews: About the Author Charles Platt is a Contributing Editor and regular columnist for Make magazine, where he writes about electronics. He is the author of the highly successful introductory hands-on book, Make:Electronics, and is writing this sequel to that book in addition to volumes 2 and 3 of the Encyclopedia of Electronic Components.Platt was a Senior Writer for Wired magazine, and has written various computer books. As a prototype designer, he created semi-automated rapid cooling devices with medical applications, and air-deployable equipment for first responders. He was the sole author of four mathematical-graphics software packages, and has been fascinated by electronics since he put together a telephone answering machine from a tape recorder and military-surplus relays at age 15. He lives in a Northern Arizona wilderness area, where he has his own workshop for prototype fabrication and projects that he writes about for Make magazine.

⭐I purchased all of Charles Platt’s Make: books in the series and they are all just packed with knowledge and beautifully laid out. I highly recommend these books for anyone looking to get into the world of electronics. Another wonderful feature about these books is, if you have any questions about any of the content in these books, Charles will personally reply to answer your quarries. Be sure to check out all the books in this series!!!Make: ElectronicsMake: More ElectronicsMake: Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Vol 1,2,3

⭐Well my husband really liked this book because now he learned how to work with electricity

⭐Seemed like a well written book, but did not provide enough information about interfacing to sensors and motors, which is my area of interest. I returned it the next day.

⭐Basic electronic and book made well

⭐An excellent follow-on to Make: Electronics! I’ve tried to learn electronics a number of times over the years, and each time I made it a little farther before bogging down. Make Electronics was my latest attempt, and this time I think I’m getting it! The explanations are clear, the order of subjects makes perfect sense, only as much theory and math as are absolutely required are used, and the pictures and diagrams are clearly laid out with the reasons why specific symbols, colors, etc. were selected are explained. Charles Platt clearly is a master of the subject, and is very capable of explaining the subject material. Based on my prior attempts, about half of what was in Make: Electronics was review for me, but Make: More Electronics is mostly new, and mostly things that I just didn’t get in the past, but I’m understanding it now due to the same clear, well ordered explanations as in the prior book. This one picks up where Make: Electronics left off, and continues into more complex areas, such as AC circuits and OpAmps, with some fun and interesting projects. The explanations of how to approach a design are especially useful…you can’t just copy other’s designs forever!If you want to learn electronics, you won’t go wrong with Make: Electronics, followed by Make: More Electronics. The set of three parts encyclopedias that Mr. Platt has also published are well worth a look as well. These aren’t tutorials, like Make: Electronics and Make: More Electronics, but they aren’t simple catalogs of parts either…they go into the theory, variations, uses, and cautions for a host of electronics parts from transformers, to transistors, and connectors. Based on my reading of these books, I’d certainly want to take a look at anything else Mr. Platt produces!

⭐I would recommend this book for purchase. I have read the entire book, understood much of it, but haven’t done many of the projects as I am ordering the parts.I also would require you to read the Make: Electronics book by Platt first, as I did.I did not like this as much as his first book, as I think it goes too many different directions on silly projects. Yes, that is one way to teach the additional logic and special sensor information, but in a silly game way that I did not enjoy as much.But, in both books, he teaches / refreshes hobbyist electronics in a very clear and interesting manner. He does not plug any company and urges you to use eBay for bulk buys. He is honest and refreshing.I’m not going to do some of the projects, but I still learned and found the book to be worth every penny.

⭐The first half of the book was worth the time and money. After that it went to information I was not interested in. Stumbled thru it tho learning about stuff I will never use. I give it 4 stars because I did learn from it.

⭐I bought this cause I thought I knew a little about electronics. Turns out I didn’t know as much as I thought and should have bought the beginner book first (which I ended up doing). Once I finish that book, i’ll move on to this one.

⭐* PhysicalThis book is printed on high-quality paper and improved with colour pics and diagrams. The text is of good size for those who require specs to read.* Target audienceIn my humble opinion, the quality of the work within this book by this author is broadly around H.N.C level and later then strays into initial degree level later on. This is a largely practical pitch, and still with its signature of reduced mathematical content, apart from BODMAS rules.* Whats the best bits?The best bits are carried from what’s in the previous volume, ‘Make Electronics’. Meaning this clarity continues and explains what you may be too shy to admit you may not already grasp? I know how competitive studies are with fellow students and tutors pushing topics along. It describes individual components in enlightening ways, such as differing comparators and op-amps configurations – the LM741 and quad op-amp LM339 -, the simple transistors- the 2n2222, 555 timers, phototransistors, decoders and encoders and multiplexers, logic gates AND OR NOT NAND NOR XOR. And a major section of differing sensors is again very clearly explained. The great thing it promotes good comprehension skills with very tidy prototyping on boards that’s is always a very handy skill and is a major help in debugging when faults occur.The reason why i estimate this book to be ‘H.N.C’ level plus is the problem of ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’. This i experienced this type of problem in my H.N.D, and this book goes into great lengths showing the principles of this multi logic setup, even going into multiple boards carrying discrete components and not always with logic gates. The lack of logical mapping is an unusual oversight considering its pitch. A nice thing is that it applied a system approach, advising blocks in order to avoid ‘reinventing the wheel’ and then working down into the component level.* SummaryI enjoyed this largely practical book very much and devoured it over a week. Its refreshed lots of my half-forgotten studies and gave me pleasure to read. The author explains on page 323 his background and this may surprise?

⭐It is a good book. I have the first one, and this follows on nicely. Not everyone will like it, but they are written in a fun style, his emphasis is on telling you how something works, then getting you to try a few actual examples to see the effect for yourself. He’s very light on maths (ok, personally I’d rather there were a little more), but heavy on actually doing projects to learn and see the effects. Even to the extent of intentionally breaking a few components to see what happens and why things happen, I really like these books and they cover the subject well.

⭐Excellent book. One of the best learning books I’ve used. Well written, clear explanations of what is actually happening when constructing and using the completed circuits. The illustrations are first class to compliment the text. If this book and the first one “Make Electronics” by the same author Charles Platt were available in hardback versions at double the cost they would still be worth every penny.

⭐Bought this book as a gift for a retired electrical engineer, and have been told that it is an excellent book with good projects. Great value for money and a very easy book to follow.

⭐ok
