Beginner's Guide to 3D Printing

Picture
Arduino is one of the most popular microcontroller development boards available. It's more than just a module though as the heart of Arduino is the software you run on your computer and use to create sketches (or programs) in the C programming language, with many pre-built functions, to help get an application working quickly. Chuck explains all this in very simple terms to help you get started programming your own electronic applications. 
 
The book covers the basics and assumes you are a beginner and his down to earth style of explaining technology makes it a great place to get started with programming electronics.

The market for 3D printers has exploded in the last few years with many low cost models designed for the home user. This has launched 1000’s of shared designs that people are printing and using at home. It has allowed ordinary people to create replacement parts for use around the house and toys for kids to play with that can easily be reprinted if it breaks. All of the designs can easily be shared and 3D printed by anyone with one of these printers. But where do you get started if you want to be a part of this revolution? This book was written to answer the questions most beginners need answered. It covers many of the popular 3D printer choices and then uses the under $500 Da Vinci 1.0 from XYZprinting to show you how easy it is to get started. I take you through using Tinkercad software for creating your own custom designs. I go further and show you how to take a simple design and send it off to a professional 3D printer for a finished product anyone would be amazed that you created it. This book was designed for anyone just getting started. Get it here at my website for discount over Amazon or elsewhere.

Getting Started with chipKIT

Picture
The PIC32 based chipKIT module was developed to compete with Arduino and uses the same Arduino style coding. I decided to write the first book about chipKIT and released it in 2011.
It covers the basics:
LED Projects
Sensing Switches
Reading Potentiometer and Light Sensors
Creating Sound
Pulse Width Modulation
Serial Communication

Getting Started with PICs

Picture
In 2006 I became a columnist for Nuts and Volts Magazine. I wrote the Getting Started with PICs column. This book is a combination of all my Nuts and Volts articles from 2006.
