15 Dangerously Mad Projects for the Evil Genius

APPENDIXElectronics Construction Primer

THIS APPENDIX PROVIDES a few useful hints and tips for electronic construction used in the majority of the projects in this book.

Circuits

The author likes to start a project with a vague notion of what he wants to achieve and then start designing from the perspective of the electronics.

The way to express an electronic circuit is to use a schematic diagram. The author has included schematic diagrams for all the projects in this book, so even if you are not very familiar with electronics, you should now have seen enough schematics to understand roughly how they relate to the stripboard diagrams also included.

Schematic Diagrams

In a schematic diagram, connections between components are shown as lines. These ...
