Editorial Review: Product Description: Electronic sensor circuits convert light, temperature, sound, and other signals into a form that can be processed by electronic circuits. Learn about solar cells, photoresistors, thermistors, and magnet switches. Then build circuits that respond to heat, pressure, light, and more. This Engineer's Mini Notebook is a compilation of three of Forrest Mims's notebooks: Sensor Projects; Solar Cell Projects; and Magnet & Magnet Sensor Projects. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Electronics parts are plentiful on the webMusic girl stated that the book contains hard to find parts...not sure if she means older outdated parts or simply because radio shack and other electronics stores are no longer serving electronics hobbyists. There are many web resources for electronics parts. Some with small minimum order requirements. Mouser, electronics express, digi-key are three of the ones I use. Please search the net for electronic components. If you are serious about the hobby these larger electronics ... Read More Rating: - great, EXCEPT...This book suffers from the same problem all 80's Mims books suffer from: difficult-to-obtain parts. Gone are the days when you could pop down to your local Radio Shack and choose from a wall of components. Nevertheless, this book has some interesting projects. Rating:  - Interesting little circuits that can easily be expandedThis is a pretty interesting entry in Forrest Mims' Engineering Notebook series. In this short book Mims introduces the reader to circuits that convert physical phenomena such as light, temperature, and sound into electrical signals that can be processed by circuits comprised of commonly found electronic parts such as the 741 op-amp. Mims includes brief explanations of the operation of a variety of sensors and then uses these sensors to build small useful circuits. He includes construction notes and a ... Read More Rating: - Neat little projects to help you learn.The projects are interesting and fun. You can learn things from this book, but will certainly need to know some foundations and basics first. Other books serve that purpose, however. This isn't meant to be complex or a book to learn those things, of course. |
