Electronic sensor circuits convert light, temperature, sound, and other signals into a form that can be processed by electronic circuits. Learn about solar cells, photoresistors, thermistors, and magnet switches. Then build circuits that respond to heat, pressure, light, and more. This Engineer’s Mini Notebook is a compilation of three of Forrest Mims’s notebooks : Sensor Projects; Solar Cell Projects; and Magnet & Magnet Sensor Projects.

   Forrest M. Mims III, Only the best information on the planet. This is an excellent reference manual, as it gives you Very usefull information on a range of circuits. You cannot go wrong with a Mims book. I have been reading his work since the 1970s.

   An excellent buy

   Personally, I enjoied a lot this book. Eccentric, funny, interesting with an “hands on” tone it intoduces to a good variety of sensors.

   I would say that this book could be addressed both to beginners who can be introduced to the subjects in an “easy” not conventional way, and to the practitioners that can find in it useful suggestions immediately directed to the heart of the problem.

   The subjects are explained in an “high level” way without entering in theoretical dissertation, you can find in it a brief explanation on how the sensor works and some schematics for managing the signal out from the sensor itself.

   I repeat, not a conventional book. You have to be aware of this if you are planning tu buy it but, to me, it deserves your attention and it is , definitely, a good book.

   Forest has a easy style to read and to understand. I needed to learn a bit more about building and using some sensors, so A Forrest Mims book is always a good addition to my reference shelf!

   Simple, hand written, to the core, no fluff, no pork, no jabber, just straight circuit and sensor ideas.

   The book looks like it was all hand written in perfect engineering fashion, this is a lost art only mastered by people who have enormous patience and a twinge of super-genious.

   This book is a must! Even if you don’t understand electronics, the writing alone is incredible!

   The serious electronics hobbyist needs all of the Forrest Mims’ electronics books and “The Art of Electronics” in their library
