This book uses a common tool in electronics, the breadboard, to build your way to an understanding of circuits, circuit components, and the basics of computers. \u003cbr\u003eYou'll master current, voltage, and resistance. With that you can control outputs like lights and motors as well as inputs like switches and sensors. You'll also discover the difference between analog and digital electrical signals while studying both electricity and computers. Dabble in electrical engineering, whether you are interested in building things with electronics or learning to program simple, physical systems. Build your own electronic projects to learn how electronics work. And also how computers store information and process requests. You'll work with simple, low-cost tools like conductive tape before developing up to working with breadboards and discovering the components to build more complex systems. \u003cbr\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eBeginning Breadboarding\u003c\/i\u003e, makers of all ages and backgrounds can learn to build real-life physical computing systems and projects.

After dabbling in dark matter (Occidental College, B.A. Physics), Fox studied engineering (UCLA, M.S. Mechanical Engineering) where she blended electronics, art, and education to tackle problems related to environmental and social justice. Fox founded her company, FoxBot Industries, in 2015 to provide an arts-based approach to STEM education and current leads a team at Microsoft doing maker-related work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 495\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42739106185279,"sku":"9781484292174","price":64.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/553f9d7a18dbedc9c17ff60399b2edf5.webp?v=1765155625","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/beginning-breadboarding-physical-computing-and-the-basic-building-blocks-of-computers-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
