This is an important professional book which has been carefully prepared by the author for many years. Electronics is arcane and abstract. But it is also an exact science of real practical importance. Whether we appreciate it or not, our lives are practically dominated by electronics, e.g., TVs, computers, smart-phones, et. al.. Applying electronic theories would bring actual, practical results which could be tested or gauged by instruments. This book on practical electronics should therefore be taken seriously. This book has been painstakingly prepared for readers who suffer from a phobia of technologies which tend to be difficult to grasp. This book is apparently the only one of its kind now which conveys important, useful electronics knowledge in a very simple, jargon-free, easily comprehended manner. In the book the author also shares some of his experiences in electronics by offering practical tips on circuit design. What are required of the reader of this book are just some patience, interest and motivation.

Bright/dark LED triggering off PS3Eye VSYNC for eye tracking.
The bottom signal is the VSYNC off the camera, the top is the toggled output from the 7474.
The Aaeon Systems MiniPCI USB2.0 host controller card, with one of the 2mm headers removed. The other one, and the power header, also come off. (Note the piece of blue-tack, used like Plastigage to see if the lid touches the tall caps when closed. It's very tight.) More photos of this project to follow, I promise.
Made the holes bigger. DIP feels too loose, but I'll have to try with conductive thread sewn in to see how snug it is.

Computers, printers, keyboards, scanners, copiers, cell phones and televisions (no large wooden console TVs, please!) will be collected. A $20 fee for televisions and $15 for computer monitors applies, but LED or LCD monitors and TVs are free.
Almost have something I'm happy with. The nut holes are M1.6 sized, but I need to widen the DIP pin holes a bit more for a comfortable fit.

I got 4 PCB coasters several years ago in London. The National History Museum sold geeky stuff in their souvenir shop.

Dirty Electronics Mute Synth custom modified by A.S.M.O. for Daniel Miller (The Normal / Mute Records).
Touch panels hardwired to pots and switches, 3 LFOs, one for each oscillator and feedback.
Low / band pass resonant filter with external voltage control input, self oscillates at full resonance.
Panel is covered in (warm) leatherette, nice!

A new generation of cheap lightweight plastic electronic technology that does not require silicon, but which is optically transparent and can be coated onto everyday objects would transform our world.
"Working collaboratively with industry is not only satisfying in that I see aspects of my work translate into real engineered products, but it provides inspiration for new avenues of research too. Roadmapping then allows me to critically assess how I should be developing my research portfolio and engaging with industry to maximise the likelihood of productive collaboration."
—Dr Andrew Flewitt
Imagine electronically updated food labels, computers embedded in our armchairs, even contact lenses linking us directly to the Internet to bring us into the age of plastic electronics. In this video podcast Dr Andrew Flewitt and Dr Robert Phaal both from the Department of Engineering and Scott White serial entrepreneur and CEO of Pragmatic Printing talk about the creative partnership forged between different parts of the Department of Engineering and outside companies that enable the technology and research in this area to be exploited successfully.
