Hacking Electronics: Learning Electronics with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, Second Edition

The material ordered was I requested

I bought this to help me get started hacking electronics and experimenting with a Raspberry Pi. I've been sitting on a Raspberry Pi and a couple of shoeboxes full of components and tools for about 2 years, without a good idea of how to get started.This book has been VERY helpful with the electronics end of things. It explains a lot about the various components I've been working with, along with the soldering iron and multimeter I purchased. It's definitely given me a great deal of confidence to experiment more and try some new things.It's not specifically about Raspberry Pi's, but it has been helpful there as well. If your struggling to get started, this may be a good book for you.

Projects and general information are bringing newer micro computers together with "found" objects in my project boxes and discard pile. Finally a book that makes the creative juices flow, even for a old tinker'er (65 years of tinkering). I guess have not seen it all. Pictures are great and writing style works for all experience levels without scaring off the novice or old hacker. One of the best I've seen.

This is an incredibly well written book. It is a great resource for beginners looking to answer common questions that are difficult to find on the internet. Well done!!!

The author writes very clearly and although in a previous life I had considerable experience with electronics, I still found it very useful. It has a "seat of the pants" quality to it which makes it very readable and agrees with my own past work experience. I recommend it.

This is the book we all wished for when we started building electronics. Simon Monk is covering the basics in a easy to understand fashion. He is not stuck in the past, but introduce you elegantly to the Arduino and raspberry Pi world. A highly recommended book!

He makes a lot of mistakes and typos in his books that actually result in tons of frustration. Sometimes his directions and his illustrations say two different things. Simon needs to carefully read over his code and all his books, because the mistakes are consistent throughout his collection and in many chapters

Great fun projects with simple instructions for basic beginners. It also has good access to online resources.
