Yes, the components are old. Yes, the styling is retro. But the physics of electrons hasn't changed since 1978. And until that happens, this book will remain a secret weapon for the serious hardware hacker.
It is exactly what it says on the tin: 305 distinct circuit designs, sorted by function. There is no fluff. Each page typically features a schematic on the left, a short description in the middle, and a component list on the right. No fancy 3D renders. No Arduino libraries. Elektor 305 Circuits
If you want to move past "copy-paste" coding for hardware, buy a reprint or find a scan. It forces you to think in voltages and currents, not just libraries and interrupts. Yes, the components are old
