Electronics explained in a simple way
Are you a brainiac?
A year ago, I launched Electronics For Kids together with No Starch Press.
Now you can get this book, and a lot of other “brainy” books, for whatever you want to pay!
And – you’ll support charity while you’re at it =)

Today, Seeed Studio published an interview with me on their blog.
If you’re curious about the things I’ve done over the last 5 years, check it out. (Hint: Traveling, writing books, doing workshops, creating courses+++)
Seeed Studio is a hobbyist-friendly shop that sells electronics and PCB services. I’ve used them since I started out and can highly recommend them.
I recently got a question about chosing a pull-up resistor value:
Hey!
In Monostable button triggered circuit, why did you connect 10 kΩ specifically? Does it contain any calculations?
You can use resistors for many things. In the following circuit that he was referring to, the resistor R2 is a pull-up resistor with a value of 10 kΩ:
The following is from the book 5 elements of effective thinking by Burger and Starbird. A great book that shows you how to think better:

A while back I wrote a blog series for Atmel on how to build a microcontroller board.
I also created a version for my blog, and it became very popular.
The idea was to show what it takes to build a microcontroller board from scratch. [Read more…] about Download the Microcontroller Tutorial as PDF
