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.
I have never thought of building every circuit in a circuit book. Fabulous.
I love the Forrest Mims books. I have an original Radio Shack electronics lab, original physical copies of the two accompanying workbooks, and an original physical copy of the Mims "getting started" book. This vid + KiCad tut .. new sub. Thanks, and please keep sharing.
Great video! I helped you both out... Clicked the link and bought the book. I'm just learning electronics and hope his book will help.
Just wishing a happy thanksgiving
new book ordered. Thanks for the link.
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".
"I'm fine" - Very convincing. Blink twice if you're in danger.
Perhaps you could goad fellow electronics YouTubers 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.
what software did you design your circuits in? I would really like to have a go at that 😀
