“This full-color book is impressive…there are some really fun projects!” -GeekDad, Wired.com
Who needs an electrical engineering degree? This intuitive guide shows how to wire, disassemble, tweak, and re-purpose everyday devices quickly and easily. Packed with full-color illustrations, photos, and diagrams, Hacking Electronics teaches by doing–each topic features fun, easy-to-follow projects. Discover how to hack sensors, accelerometers, remote controllers, ultrasonic rangefinders, motors, stereo equipment, microphones, and FM transmitters. The final chapter contains useful information on getting the most out of cheap or free bench and software tools.
Excellent,
Throughout the whole book the choice of projects are extremely interesting, eg how to use ultrasonic rangefinders or how to switch a relay from the a web page with an Android phone. The coverage of how to carry out each project is comprehensive and includes program code as well as the electronics.
All in all the book is an excellent motivational vehicle to help you learn practical electronics whether you just work through the book for fun or intend to carry on to bigger projects.

|Not a book on Hacking, more a book on Arduino,
How is buying an arduino and a shield and then connecting them up ( however well written) ‘hacking ‘ ?
I already have several books on Arduino , so this book was of no use to me.
