Basic Electronics: Theory and Practice, 4th Edition | S. Westcott, J. R. Westcott
English | 2023 | True PDF | 385 pages | 10 MB

Designed for both the student and hobbyist, this updated revision is an introduction to the theory and practice of electronics including advances in micro-controllers, sensors, and wireless communication. Each chapter contains a brief lab to demonstrate the topic under discussion, then moves on to use all of the knowledge mastered to build a programmable robot. New material on using Raspberry Pi and Python has been included.

Features:

Includes companion files with over twenty video tutorials on currents, soldering, power supply, resistors, decoder circuits, Raspberry Pi, animations of featured circuits and more (files available from the publisher for downloading with Amazon proof of purchase).
Features chapters on using Raspberry Pi and Python in electronic projects and a chapter on Cybersecurity and the Internet of Things (IoT) for Electronic Projects.
Leads the reader through an introductory understanding of electronics with simple labs and then progresses to the construction of a microcontroller-driven robot using opensource software and hardware.
