Read it cover to cover or use it as a go-to reference manual on electronics and hardware design—either way, this book is an indispensable compendium of all the practical stuff they don’t teach in engineering school.
Put your entry-level electrical knowledge to use and build elegant hardware that works on the first try. A uniquely practical guide, this book teaches you the things most engineers learn only through experience—with an emphasis on explaining the reasoning behind each method in order to ensure your designs are driven by insight, not blind rule-following. It’s also packed with hundreds of highly useful tricks and techniques that speed up workflow and save hardware designers time and money.
You’ll learn the entire process for developing a device—from conceiving an idea to the final schematic, including prototyping, selecting components, layout, fabrication, assembly, working with suppliers, cost-engineering, regulatory testing, and even troubleshooting when things go wrong.
