Electronics Cookbook: Practical Electronic Recipes with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

by Simon Monk

If youíre among the many hobbyists and designers who came to electronics through Arduino and Raspberry Pi, this cookbook will help you learn and apply the basics of electrical engineering without the need for an EE degree. Through a series of practical recipes, youíll learn how to solve specific problems while diving into as much or as little theory as youíre comfortable with. Author Simon Monk (Raspberry Pi Cookbook) breaks down this complex subject into several topics, from using the right transistor to building and testing projects and prototypes. With this book, you can quickly search electronics topics and go straight to the recipe you need. It also serves as an ideal reference for experienced electronics makers. This cookbook Theoretical concepts such as Ohmís law and the relationship between power, voltage, and current The fundamental use of resistors, capacitors and inductors, diodes, transistors and integrated circuits, and switches and relays Recipes on power, sensors and motors, integrated circuits, and radio frequency for designing electronic circuits and devices Advice on using Arduino and Raspberry Pi in electronics projects How to build and use tools, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, simulations software, and unsoldered prototypes

Good content sprinkled with typos and conceptual snafoos towards the beginning. The practical projects towards the end are pretty solid though. Wasn't sure about the cookbook style for some of the theory but it made more sense as the book went on.

This is a good place to start for someone who wants to get into modern electronics.

[Dayton Outar · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book covers almost all main subject matters of electronics. It is a good companion to theoretical books. It is a must-have for hobbyist, new engineers and students of electronics.

I only have an (incomplete) early release edition but as it currently stands, this is shaping up to be a very good resource for electronics hobbyists and novice hardware hackers. It assumes no prior knowledge, but will take readers to a solid grounding in basic electronics and microcontrollers. The cookbook style is perfect for those who prefer learning by doing - a chance to accumulate the necessary fundamentals in bite-size chunks.
