Provides instructions on how to wire, dissaemble, and repurpose everyday electronic devices, including sensors, motors, stereo equipment, and microphones. - Book News
In this practical rather than theory-oriented guide, a UK software engineer and electronics hobbyist-writer (co-author, Practical Electronics for Inventors, 3d) explains buying components, "hacking" electronics from scratch, connecting modules and sensors, and adapting existing devices/parts for new uses. Monk covers hacks for the Arduino microprocessor, LEDs, and audio as well as basic hacks. Includes a reference appendix on tools and components, color illustrations, and companion website.
