One year ago I started writing a new book.
It’s a book that teaches electronics to kids.
The goal is to make the kids independent.
To give them the knowledge to build circuits of their own out of transistors, integrated circuits, resistors +++
Electronics For Kids will be in print soon, but right now it’s available for pre-order.
If you pre-order it, you’ll get early access to a digital version of the chapters as they are ready.
Chapters 5-8 just went live.
That means chapters 1-8 is available now.
And there’s only minor layout fixes that remain for the rest of the book.

By the way – the book is for “kids” from 8 to 100 years old ;)
Keep on Soldering!

I am curious to know what became of the UWB radar project. Or is that something you don’t like to be reminded of? Would you share what happened with me?
Seems you where a little too early for the market. The price point was probably still a bit too high back then, but today there are DWM1000 UWB chips for about 20€ at quantity one. I think the idea is very exciting and I believe things will happen in this area.
Best regards,
Alex

The UWB Radar project was a great experience. Unfortunately we were not able to enter into the markets we aimed for within our own deadline.
Cool to see that UWB is coming into the market at a more affordable price for hobbyists.
I’ve seen your email by the way, and I’ll reply soon!

I wanted to share my love of building and making cool things with my cousin, he’s 11 years old. He doesn’t have a computer at home. Is this book going to just be an online book or are you going to make a physical book as well? If not can you suggest and appropriate book that an 11 year old could read and learn electronics. He’s very eager to learn and I want to help him start in electronics. So if you have any suggestions of any kind I would greatly appreciate anything you could tell me. He lives in a different state than I do. So he needs something that he could primarily do on his own. Thank you so much for any suggestions you may have. Also I really enjoy your site and the information that you share.

That’s great to hear!
This book will be a physical book as well. It’s only minor layout fixes that remains before we send the book to the printer. Hopefully next week.
