Here it is -- a collection of Forrest Mims's classic work from the original Popular Electronics magazine! Using commonly available components and remarkable ingenuity, Forrest shows you how to build and experiment with circuits like these:
o) Analog computers
o) Color organs
o) Digital phase-locked loops
o) Frequency-to-voltage and voltage-to-frequency converters
o) Interval timers
o) LED oscilloscopes
o) Light wave communicators
o) Magnetic field sensors
o) Opto-electronics
o) Pseudorandom number generators
o) Tone sequencers
o) and much, much, more!
Each circuit includes a hand-drawn schematic, detailed theory of operation, construction hints, and other useful information presented in Forrest's inimitable style.
This is one book you'll refer to again and again as you experiment with electronics. Millions of readers around the world are proof that no one knows hobby electronics like Forrest Mims!
