Re: Show HN: I wrote a book on practical electronics design
#13I’ve been wanting to dive into electronics recently as a hobby because I write code all day and would like to work with something similar but physical. Although I’ve identified plenty of excellent sources to learn from, for me, it’s still a case of a solution looking for a problem. Can anyone point me to examples of the sorts of things electronics hobbyists build? Not interested in kits, really. I've been searching for examples of someone who identified a problem and built a solution to solve it.

There's some examples on Hackaday, also Adafruit has a livestream where people show off their projects.

#16The author, Hunter Scott, has been working on everything from plants to farming on Mars to long-distance wireless power-charging electronics. I spent the last decade tinkering with software/hardware projects. This book is exactly what I wish I had when diving in. Note: I have no connection to the book. I just really like the author's work. Edit: The digital book is free.
It's pick-your-price with no minimum, so there is imo some shaming involved if you actually specify $0 and download it for free. That makes advertising it as a free download a little bit iffy. Also, they want your email address for the download. The book does sound promising though I really liked the 2nd edition of Horowitz and Hill back in the day (I haven't seen the new 3rd ed. yet). It seems like a tough act to fo…
The author himself is advertising the digital copy as free on his website.
