All the design and development inspiration and direction an electronics engineer needs in one blockbuster book! John Donovan, Editor-in Chief, Portable Design has selected the very best electronic design material from the Newnes portfolio and has compiled it into this volume. The result is a book covering the gamut of electronic design from design fundamentals to low-power approaches with a strong pragmatic emphasis. In addition to specific design techniques and practices, this book also discusses various approaches to solving electronic design problems and how to successfully apply theory to actual design tasks. The material has been selected for its timelessness as well as for its relevance to contemporary electronic design issues.

This is a prerequisite For All "Stamps in Class" Curriculum
The number one starting point for using the BASIC Stamp® 2 (either the Board of Ed (BOE) full kit, or the HomeWork Board is needed to use What's a Microcontroller? Over 40 hands-on activities with complete PBASIC 2.5 support. What's a Microcontroller? (WAM) answers the question of how to design customized, intelligent inventions using the BASIC Stamp 2. Activities using motion, light, sound and tactile feedback introduce the user to basic principles in programming, electronics, math and physics. Program circuits for light, sound and motor control. Over 40 hands-on activities including reaction timer game, potentiometer-controlled servo, 7-segment LED light meter, Nokia Cell Phone ringtone player and more. Write and download PBASIC code to a BASIC Stamp®, build circuits on the breadboard and implement them with components which include: LED's, 7-Segment display, pushbuttons and a servo.

About this book
This is a book of practical robotics written for beginners but also catering for those who have progressed a little further beyond that stage. It describes the mechanics of robot construction, how to build the electronic circuits, and finally goes into the details of programming robotic systems. The first half of the book is a cookbook of information, ideas, tips, and suggestions for the first-time roboticists and others. Much of the content will be of interest and practical use to students in Further and Higher Education who are working on a micro-controllerbased project (though not necessarily a robotic one). The second half of the book describes the designing, building and programming of five robots of varying degrees of complexity. The specifications are flexible and essential features are emphasised so that the designs are readily adaptable to whatever materials and parts the reader can obtain. Each description points the way to more advanced development of the project, resulting in a wide range of
fascinating and often unique robots. The programs are listed in the PICs MPASM assembler, which allows them to be modified, fine-tuned and extended. The listings are fully annotated and are accompanied by detailed flowcharts. These are intended to provide ample guidance for those who wish to program in one of the dialects of BASIC, or in the C language.
