Next, you’ll build nine simple projects using just a handful of readily available components, like resistors, transistors, capacitors, and other parts. As you build, you’ll learn what each component does, how it works, and how to combine components to achieve new and interesting effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eBy the end of the book, you’ll be able to build your own electronic creations.
