It covers intermediate to advanced topics like logic chips, sensors, amplifiers, and randomicity through hands-on experiments and clear explanations, making complex concepts approachable and practical for H.N.C level learners and beyond. ## Description Want to learn even more about electronics in a fun, hands-on way? If you finished the projects in Make: Electronics , or if you're already familiar with the material in that book, you're ready for Make: More Electronics . Right away, you'll start working on real projects, and you'll explore all the key components and essential principles through the book's collection of experiments. You'll build the circuits first, then learn the theory behind them! This book picks up where Make: Electronics left off: you'll work with components like comparators, light sensors, higher-level logic chips, multiplexers, shift registers, encoders, decoders, and magnetic sensors. You'll also learn about topics like audio amplification, randomicity, as well as positive and negative feedback. With step-by-step instructions, and hundreds of color photographs and illustrations, this book will help you use -- and understand -- intermediate to advanced electronics concepts and techniques. Review: Helpful, practical H.N.C and above - * Physical This book is printed on high-quality paper and improved with colour pics and diagrams. The text is of good size for those who require specs to read. * Target audience In my humble opinion, the quality of the work within this book by this author is broadly around H.N.C level and later then strays into initial degree level later on. This is a largely practical pitch, and still with its signature of reduced mathematical content, apart from BODMAS rules. * What are the best bits? The best bits are carried from what's in the previous volume, 'Make Electronics'. And this clarity continues and explains what you may be too shy to admit you may not already grasp? This book describes individual components in enlightening ways, such as differing comparators and op-amps configurations - the LM741 and quad op-amp LM339 -, the simple transistors- the 2n2222, 555 timers, phototransistors, decoders and encoders and multiplexers, logic gates AND OR NOT NAND NOR XOR. And a major section of differing sensors is again very clearly explained. The great thing it promotes good comprehension skills with very tidy prototyping on boards that's is always a very handy skill and is a major help in debugging when faults occur. The reason why i estimate this book to be 'H.N.C' level plus is the problem of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'. This i experienced this type of problem in my H.N.D, and this book goes into great lengths showing the principles of this multi logic setup, even going into multiple boards carrying discrete components and not always with logic gates. The lack of logical mapping is an unusual oversight considering its pitch. A nice thing is that it applied a system approach, advising blocks in order to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' and then working down into the component level. * Summary I enjoyed this largely practical book very much and devoured it over a week. Its refreshed lots of my half-forgotten studies and gave me pleasure to read. The author explains on page 323 his background and this may surprise? Review: Excellent book - Another excellent book by Charles Platt. The first book MAKE: Electronics is probably one of the best entry level books for people interested in learning electronics. While I still work my way through MAKE: More Electronics I think it's a worthy sequel. The book picks up where the first book left off and this time deals with more advanced concepts. What the books share in common is the author's writing style. Charles Platt can write about complicated things in easy to follow manner giving great level of details. Later chapters reveal some (at first glance) really intricate circuits which gives me something to look forward to. Quality photos and wiring diagrams help to break blocks of text down making everything look nice and clear. If you're going to go cover to cover through the book there's even a shopping list at the end. Overall the book is a joy to have. It's a combination of quality content and great MAKE aesthetics! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 169,134 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 145 in Computer Information Systems | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 612 Reviews | ## Images ![Make: More Electronics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91VXEgaXjAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful, practical H.N.C and above *by A***C on 7 June 2015* * Physical This book is printed on high-quality paper and improved with colour pics and diagrams.

I find Charles Platts books very informative and instructive; not only does he explain what's, he also explains the why's and the wherefores - something I think you will struggle to find in the writing of others: in the preface, he also explains the reasons for writing the book! Clear and concise. 5***** ## Frequently Bought Together - Make: More Electronics: Journey Deep Into the World of Logic Chips, Amplifiers, Sensors, and Randomicity - Make: Electronics: Learning by Discovery: A hands-on primer for the new electronics enthusiast - Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 1: Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Switches, Encoders, Relays, Transistors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/47913968-make-more-electronics](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/47913968-make-more-electronics) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
