The ProTechTrader Make: Electronics Kits have been designed specifically for the updated and rewritten 3rd Edition of Make: Electronics (2021 - Charles Platt). We worked with Charles Platt directly for our kits to complement and match his experiments, just the way he wanted. The ProTechTrader electronics kits are highly recommended by the author and are a perfect introduction for the new electronics enthusiast. Geared towards beginners Make: Electronics 3rd Edition is the top educational book for students through professional adults wanting to learn basic electronics and circuit design.

Rounding up all of the necessary components can be frustrating and time-consuming, whereas we think learning electronics should be fun and exciting! The component shopping has been done so you can hit the ground running and complete all of the experiments in the 3rd edition book. Each of the components is clearly labeled for your convenience and easy access.

Each kit comes with over 150+ pieces, including a solderless breadboard which is used for circuit prototyping and provides an excellent base for any beginner to learn basic electronics or any professional to build prototype circuits.

A popular choice for students and teachers in STEM programs.

***However, there are a few components we do not supply such as:

• Galvanized Brackets
• Lemons (Juice)
• Copper objects

Make: Electronics 3rd Edition by Charles Platt Paperback Book

About This Item

The first edition of Make: Electronics established a new benchmark for introductory texts. The second edition enhanced that experience, and now this third edition includes all-new diagrams throughout, new photographs, and a completely rewritten text.

Learning by Discovery is a system developed by Charles Platt to enable an experience that is fascinating, fun, and memorable. You learn by building your own circuits--and by making your own mistakes. In fact, mistakes are an important part of the experience. The book encourages you to "burn things out and mess things up" to find out for yourself the limits of electronic components. You'll blow a fuse and watch an overloaded LED, and you can cut open a relay to see how it works inside.

Illustrations are in full color throughout, so you'll see exactly what you need and how to use it. While Make: Electronics minimizes the amount of theory that you need, it does show you how to figure out Ohm's Law and do the simple math to calculate the time constant of a capacitor. A simple "finger test" demonstrates how transistors switch or amplify current. You can solder wires, if you wish, to build a permanent circuit, although soldering is not necessary to build all the circuits in the book.

You'll see how to use integrated circuit chips to create a simple circuit that tests the speed of your reflexes. Other circuits include a combination lock for a computer or a game in which players compete to be the first to press a button. 

All the basic concepts are demonstrated quickly and simply with affordable components. You'll discover resistance, capacitance, voltage, amperage, inductance, and the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

Ideal for Beginners
This book assumes that you have no prior knowledge. It explains each concept in meticulous detail and is friendly, patient, and fun. Positive reader feedback has been received from people ranging in age from 8 to 84. If you only buy one book about electronics, this should be the one.
