[HUMBLE BUNDLE] DIY Electronics Bundle

[ARikozuM]

DIY Electronics By WILEY

 

I know the Hobby Electronics sub-forum is *unofficially* mostly not alive, but here's a Phoenix Down (though it looks to need a Mega Phoenix). If you're unfamiliar with how e-book purchases are handled on Humble Bundle, but you're given unlimited downloads in three formats of your choosing (EPUB, CBZ, and .PDF).

Spoiler

I prefer downloading EPUB as they can be read on PC, Android, iOS, Kindle, and others. I have not used CBZ yet, but I'm told that it basically plays the individual comic panels like a slideshow.

I have an Arduino that I've been meaning to use, but it has just collected dust...

What is more useless then 4 arduino books and 6 pi books?

Play some Drawful with your friends. Dicks, just draw dicks, nothing but dicks.

you call this a game bundle? 50% is not even a programm.

They're pretty good games. I've found them all enjoyable aside from Draw a Stickman which I have not played.

Shall have to look at the OP bundle later... got an original Pi which has sat in its box as I never had a purpose for it. The time I decided I wanted to make a colorimeter, the Pi didn't feel suited and Arduino did things a lot easier with a lot less fuss. It feels like Pi wasn't made for electronics tinkerers, it was made for programmers. I never did finish the colorimeter. Just got to proof of concept build.

The new Pis are much better as they have many more addon boards and programs written for them

The original Pi didn't even have an ADC on board, and it was looking unnecessarily complex for the job I had. Arduino was more to the point. The colorimeter project I mentioned, that was some Arduino clone, with a generic LCD board which also had switches usable as user input. Two of the digital outputs were used to drive LEDs, and I used a LDR on analog input. That's my basics covered, and easily directly driveable from code. For the same amount of effort I hadn't even figured out IO with the Pi, or even what programming language to use...
