Thank you for the update. Found the book on Amazon and purchased it a few months ago then stumbled across your first video. Purchased your first set of boards and they arrived in about two weeks. Just placed an placed an order for the second and third set of boards. Thank you for all the work you have put in to bring this project to fruition. Much appreciated. From a selfish point of view I hope you continue, but understand the work involved is considerable. Cheers
My goodness! How many of his books did I sell while working at RadioShack back in the 1970s! So many people that I know that have had careers in tech that got their start with his wonderful books.
Perhaps you could goad fellow electronics TH-camrs into a challenge of who can use a 555 in the wrongest way possible. That is what novel and totally unexpected ways can they be abused to achieve something useful in a circuit? Oh I really need a flux capacitor here but all I have in my parts box is a 555 scenario.
I'm saddened that the original mini-notebooks are no longer in print. A whole generation (or more) of electronics enthusiasts are missing out. The new books look good though, and I think I'll get them when I rebuild my library. I've been dabbling in electronics for 36 years, and still find the "beginner" books useful. They're often good for getting unstuck out of a "mental rut".
Sir Forrest M Mims III please allow this series to continue.
He's not stopping it. I am. But he doesn't want his books pirated and that's a super reasonable request.

Just wishing a happy thanksgiving
new book ordered. Thanks for the link.
I have never thought of building every circuit in a circuit book. Fabulous.

EFI? MAP sensor driving pin 5 for variable pulse width in astable mode triggered by crank sensor.
actually works.
@@paradiselost9946 That's probably how chrysler used to do it until very recently.
@@rimmersbryggeriUntil they switched to something that's unreliable.
@@curtmeister24 that comment just triggered the "knock sensor"... now its sulking...

"beginner" books, and OLD books...
what software did you design your circuits in? I would really like to have a go at that 😀
"I'm fine" - Very convincing. Blink twice if you're in danger.

Good call. Thank you. I updated the description.
Hahhahaha
