This would have been something perfect for Radio Shack in the olden days. I wonder if Jameco would be an outlet for this, rather than Amazon? I guess I always look at the marketing side of things. From a publishing point of view, I imagine you will be self publishing this then..... There was that one guy lurking on this list some time ago that was from a publisher, gathering comments and ideas about a book. Wonder what ever happened to him?

Practical meaning with minimum math and formulas, covering mostly the aspects which many of you know only from real life and every day practice. Practical meaning a bag attached to the CD with all the components described inside, so the reader could see them with own eyes and design with those parts his own application or some experiments described in the course. For example the chapter about transistors is covering everything from old germanium bipolar transistors to MOS-FET, giving to the reader a complete image about transistor's evolution since 1928 when the first patent was registered till today. Also it's teaching the reader about how to read corectly a datasheet. The writting level will be medium (but this means more than usuall books about electronics you can see on Amazon, I'm talking about those which are starting with pictures with drilling machine or soldering irons), giving the possibility for someone not very experienced ( but tenacious) to catch the microbe of electronics. I'm interested if such course will be interesting for english readers too... I want to hear mostly about the students or high school pupils experience, those which are playing with PICs without knowing exactly how a transistor really work. I hope there are such listeners on the list, despite the answering efforts of old piclisters. thx, Vasile -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --------------------------------- The fish are biting.
