Re: “Elementary, My Dear Watson”…Its Electronics for CNC!

Hi There,

I have learned alot of my electronics from these great little books by
Forrest M. Mims III. They are called "engineers mini notebooks" and
have a whole bunch of great electronics projecs/info and are easy to
read. They cover everything from lightbulbs to fairly advanced logic
circutry.

It's almost better than kits, you can just get the parts, and start
building!

hope that helps,
Cheers
