A guide to using littleBits, the modular electronics platform that allows users to create very simple to very complex electronics by combining individual components that are joined by magnets. Includes instructions for actual projects.
Learning and inventing with modular electronics.
"The Intel Edison is a crowning achievement of Intel's adaptation of its technology into maker-friendly products. They've packed the dual-core power of the Atom CPU, combined it with a sideboard microcontroller brain, and added in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and a generous amou…
"This second edition enhances that learning experience. Here you will find unique, photographically precise diagrams of breadboarded components, to help you build circuits with speed and precision. A new shopping guide and a simplified range of components, will minimize your inv…
Overview: The first edition of Make: Electronics established a new benchmark for introductory texts. This second edition enhances that learning experience. Here you will find unique, photographically precise diagrams of bread boarded components, to help you build circuits with s…
Make three types of drones in this how-to book that covers flight control systems, multirotor aerodynamics, circuit board design with modular components, installation of radio, telemetry, and GPS, and fine-tuning for flight stabilization.

D I Y comms and control for amateur space.
Boards, Boards, Boards! It's all about the boards that are rocking the Maker world. We're in a gold rush of controllers and mini-computers, putting raw power into your hands and giving you the ability to express whatever your imagination can suggest. What was once the domain of …
Make: Electronics explores the properties and applications of discrete components that are the fundamental building blocks of circuit design. Understanding resistors, capacitors, transistors, inductors, diodes, and integrated circuit chips is essential even when using microcontr…
Make: rockets: down-to-earth rocket science
Starting with the basics of rocket propulsion, readers will start out making rockets made from stuff lying around the house, and then move on up to air-, water-, and solid propellant-powered rockets.
