Put your entry-level electrical knowledge to use and build elegant hardware that works on the first try. A uniquely practical guide, this book teaches you the things most engineers learn only through experience - with an emphasis on explaining the reasoning behind each method in order to ensure your designs are driven by insight, not blind rule-following. It's also packed with hundreds of highly useful tricks and techniques that speed up workflow and save hardware designers time and money. You'll learn the entire process for developing a device - from conceiving an idea to the final schematic, including prototyping, selecting components, layout, fabrication, assembly, working with suppliers, cost-engineering, regulatory testing, and even troubleshooting when things go wrong.
