Fundamental Electrical and Electronic Principles-3rd Edition


Fundamental Electrical and Electronic Principles covers the essential principles that form the foundations for electrical and electronic engineering courses. The coverage of this new edition has been carefully brought in line with the core unit Electrical and Electronic Principles of the 2007 BTEC National Engineering specification from Edexcel. As the book follows a logical topic progression rather than a particular syllabus, it is also suitable for other Level 3 students on vocational courses such as Vocational AS/A Level, City and Guilds courses and NVQs, as well as those taking foundation courses at pre-degree level including HNC/HND.
Each chapter starts with learning outcomes tied to the syllabus. All theory is explained in detail and backed up with numerous worked examples. Students can test their understanding with end of chapter assignment questions for which answers are provided. The book also includes suggested practical assignments and handy summaries of equations. In this new edition, the layout has been improved and color has been added to make the book more accessible for students.
The textbook is supported with a free companion website featuring supplementary worked examples and additional chapters.

Electronic Circuits for the Evil Genius-57 Projects

The book assumes no previous knowledge. It is for the absolute beginner. I learned electronics the hard way. I am generally self taught. I have experienced many of the common beginners’ errors, and will save you quantities of time as I guide you along a firm trail learning beginning electronics. I approach this very technical subject from a teacher's perspective, not the technical point of view.
Right now, electronics is hot. It is a new outlet for the people on the “edge” of learning, those seeking something different. Electronics beckons the smartest people who want to work with their hands as well as their heads. These people realize there is more in the world than computers. Programming computers is all programming in a virtual world. Electronics effects and controls the real world. And yes, there is programming in electronics. There is an entire world of micro-controllers. Microcontrollers are used to control other electronic systems full of electronic components.
But programming microcontrollers cannot stand by itself. There is a lack of information related to the “how to” of basic electronic components. Beginners will stay at the beginning level if they only learn the programming side of things, and are unable to learn about basic electronic components and their interactions. Electronic Circuits for the Evil Genius will teach you about the wider range of basic, hardwired electronics, both digital and analog.

Microcontroller Programming: The Microchip PIC

Book Description
From cell phones and television remote controls to automobile engines and spacecraft, microcontrollers are everywhere. Programming these prolific devices is a much more involved and integrated task than it is for general-purpose microprocessors; microcontroller programmers must be fluent in application development, systems programming, and I/O operation as well as memory management and system timing. Using the popular and pervasive mid-range 8-bit Microchip PIC® as an archetype, Microcontroller Programming offers a self-contained presentation of the multidisciplinary tools needed to design and implement modern embedded systems and microcontrollers. The authors begin with basic electronics, number systems, and data concepts followed by digital logic, arithmetic, conversions, circuits, and circuit components to build a firm background in the computer science and electronics fundamentals involved in programming microcontrollers. For the remainder of the book, they focus on PIC architecture and programming tools and work systematically through programming various functions, modules, and devices.

Helpful appendices supply the full mid-range PIC instruction set as well as additional programming solutions, a guide to resistor color codes, and a concise method for building custom circuit boards.

Providing just the right mix of theory and practical guidance, Microcontroller Programming: The
Microchip PIC® is the ideal tool for any amateur or professional designing and implementing stand-alone systems for a wide variety of applications.
