Electronic sensor circuits convert light, temperature, sound, and other signals into a form that can be processed by electronic circuits. Learn about solar cells, photoresistors, thermistors, and magnet switches. Then build circuits that respond to heat, pressure, light, and more. This Engineer's Mini Notebook is a compilation of three of Forrest Mims's notebooks: Sensor Projects; Solar Cell Projects; and Magnet & Magnet Sensor Projects.
Customer Review: Electronics parts are plentiful on the web
Music girl stated that the book contains hard to find parts...not sure if she means older outdated parts or simply because radio shack and other electronics stores are no longer serving electronics hobbyists.
There are many web resources for electronics parts. Some with small minimum order requirements. Mouser, electronics express, digi-key are three of the ones I use.
Please search the net for electronic components. If you are serious about the hobby these larger electronics companies will serve you well.
The companies above also have print catalogs they will mail you which is handy for seeing their product lines and they also have very good online ordering sites.
Customer Review: great, EXCEPT...
This book suffers from the same problem all 80's Mims books suffer from: difficult-to-obtain parts. Gone are the days when you could pop down to your local Radio Shack and choose from a wall of components. Nevertheless, this book has some interesting projects.
