This site boasts over 11,000 electronic circuits cross-referenced into 500+ cat-

egories. Check out the featured circuit of the week for inspiration and also

explore the Hot Links! to go to other sites of interest.

Links to some of Dave’s other Web sites, such as Imagineering On-Line

Magazine and Discover Solar Energy.com, can lead you into some other inter-

esting materials.

Bowden’s Hobby Circuits ..................................................................

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Bill_Bowden/homepage.htm

This small collection of electronic circuits for the hobbyist provides over 100

circuit diagrams, links to related sites, and commercial kits and projects. In

addition, you can follow links to related newsgroups and educational areas.

The JavaScript calculators collection on this site is very impressive. Here you

can find calculators to help with calculating resistor color codes, RC time

constants (discussed in Chapter 9), Ohm’s Law, and more.

FC’s Electronic Circuits......................................................................

http://www.solorb.com/elect

This rather simply designed Web site offers interesting collection of circuits

(including schematics and descriptions). What you’ll find here are some

rather unusual circuits that put the emphasis on practicality rather than

merely electronic toys.

Most circuits are designed with discrete components that you can easily find.

This site also includes an extensive list of links to other electronics sites.

Web Sites That Teach You the Ropes ........................................................

Whether you need a tutorial on soldering techniques or a primer to help you

understand just how electricity works, you can likely find that info on the

Internet somewhere. Here are some good ties to get you started with both

tutorials and discussions.
