Because LeanPub has recently eased off on their $7.99 minimum price, I decided to lower the minimum price for the PDF of Applied Analog Electronics from $7.99 to $4.99. This reduces my royalties per book a lot (from $6.39 to $3.49), but sales are slow enough that increasing the number sold is more valuable than […]| Gas station without pumps
World Scientific Publishing is marketing my book. They have put out a flyer for several of their electronics books (https://www.worldscientific.com/pb-assets/wspc-site/catalogue-pdf/Electrical-Electronics-Engineering2024-25-1705395593457.pdf), and my book is the first one on the flyer! Of course, they don’t mention that the PDF for the book is also available on LeanPub for only $7.99 (https://leanpub.com/applied_analog_electronics), but I wouldn’t expect them […]| Gas station without pumps
Today I found out that the boards that I had been using for the data-acquisition system in my electronics course and textbook (the Teensy LC and the Teensy 3.2) have been discontinued, so I’ll need to port PteroDAQ to a new board. I’ve been thinking that I should port to the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21, […]| Gas station without pumps
I tried Chatbot Arena (https://lmarena.ai/) with some simple electronics problems today. The large language models have gotten much better and can do simple problems of calculating complex impedance, but they still can’t do simple designs like this exercise from my book: Design a passive band-pass filter with a peak gain around 0.5, a low […]| Gas station without pumps
