I was immediately disappointed after I received this book and first browsed through it. The authors’ idea of a “project” is buying some off the shelf gadget and plugging it into your PC. I don’t need a book to explain THAT.
Oh, and if you don’t know what an MP3 file is, HERE ARE ALL THE DETAILS. What rubbish. Of the 14 “projects” maybe 3 or 4 are easier with this book, but the chances of you’re being interested in one of those seems poor.
If you get the chance to look this thing over before buying you’ll quickly know if it’s for you. If you have any experience interfacing PC’s at all, just skip this book.
It does give you step by step on how to complete these projects; but it will cost you. Example telescope tracker parts list runs about $900, then you can connect it to a PC. Build a PVR uses a P3933 with 512MB ram. I don’t have one of those sitting on a shelf. This cook book shows you what software to buy, cables and plug and play modules, but does not teach anything. I guess I wanted to solder something. Please try to find a copy and flip through it before you buy it.
