Desert Island Electronics Book

68.160.190.96

Posted by total newbie on January 28, 2003 at 15:18:02

If I was gonna buy one book on hobby electronics, which one would it be? I kinda understand the basics, like what the little battery symbol means and which way current flows and parallel and serial and combination circuits and a little basic theory about resistors and capacitors and potentiometers. I've re-wired a car and soldered some stuff together, made a simple op-amp circuit once, etc.

Essentially, I'd like a book that gives me just enough theory to get started, then explains a bunch of practical stuff like best soldering techniques and what tools to get and how not to electrocute myself handling different components and maybe has some projects that might actually be interesting.

Suggestions? Oh, and I'd like to spend $20 or less, if possible.
