Make: Easy Electronics - Book and Kit

  From best-selling author Charles Platt, the Easy Electronics book and kit should satisfy anyone who has felt frustrated by entry-level courses that are not as clear and simple as they are supposed to be. This is the simplest, quickest, and least technical, introduction to basic electronics you can find. Brilliantly clear graphics take you step-by-step through 12 basic projects, none of which should take more than half an hour.

The Easy Electronics kit provides everything you need to successfully complete every project in the book at an affordable price. Concepts and ex
