Tecno Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hi people,I'm a newbie in electronics, I don't know how to read a schematic for a pcb or an electronics map, with all it's components and understand what I'm looking at...Could someone point me out to some good books for newbies ?Something that covers the following topics:- PCBs: Schematics, Creating (home), Reading, Understanding, etc...- Understanding Basic Electronics components and what they do...- Soldering and De-Soldering electronic components on pcb's: ic's, smd's, etc...I work alot with fixing computers and I also get alot of schematics for pc interfaces, so I could really use the knowledge...Thanks for the help !

Brendan w. Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Tecno, you can also buy robot building for beginners.... most of it is all about differnt components and how they work. its a great book for beginners, and also it kind of teaches you how to solder.I would recomend this book for beginners.

Roomi Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Ttttttechno, you can use the books : "Electronics.for.Dummies"This is the best boook ever for any beginners as well as expert.and don;t try to interfacing with pc as u r in early in electronics.This could bring disaster to pc as well as u if anything goes wrong.

Maca Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Ttttttechno, you can use the books : "Electronics.for.Dummies"I second this. The dummies selection is a perfect place to start, for every subject you want to learn in your spare time. ( Easy to understand and progress at a steady rate.)
