This work, aimed at students on BTEC and GNVQ electronics courses, focuses on the maths needed to understand electronic filters - what they are, how they work and how to use them. The book assumes a knowledge of mathematics at GCSE level and a minimum of electrical and electronic theory.[...]
With coverage matched to the electronics units of the BTEC National Engineering course, this title is suitable for a wide range of pre-degree courses in electronics. It includes: many examples and activities; web research topics; and, self test features, highlighted key facts, formulae and definitio[...]
Owen Bishop introduces, through hands-on project work, the mechanics, electronics and programming involved in practical robot design-and-build. The use of the PIC microcontroller throughout provides a painless introduction to programming whilst harnessing the power of a highly popular microcontrolle[...]
A guide to programing a robot using NXT-G and Microsoft VPL includes ten robot-specific projects that demonstrate how to expand a robot's capabilities and is accompanied by a DVD containing e-text, programming code, and a link to an accompanying Web site.[...]
Owen Bishop¿s First Course starts with the basics of electricity and component types, introducing students to practical work almost straight away. No prior knowledge of electronics is required. The approach is student-centred with self-test features to check understanding, including numerous activ[...]
