I wound up dropping my subscriptions a few years ago, mainly because there seemed to be focus on stuff I wasn't interested in.
I've come to the conclusion that they are good reads anyway (something's got to live on the toilet-tank :lol: , but with all the musical chairs with the names and publishers, I don't know what's out there anymore.
I'm not super interested in the PIC/STAMP stuff or robotics -- but I probably should learn a little more about that area, and I'm not just interested in audio.
So, what's good these days?
Nuts&Volts, a mag that used 2 B free,
has merged with PopTronics, which formerly merged with
Radio Electonics when formerly called Popular Electronics.
N&V has BasicStamp & PIC articles AWA lots of audio and some
digital as well.
I don't read(make that buy) it much since it got a price tag.
I'll thumb thru it at the newstand.
There's also an English Mag(can't remember)......
Oh! i think it's called "Everyday Practical Electronics" EPE
i check it out whenever i visit Tower Books.
AFN
tone
www.siliconchip.com.au/
has more "hobby level" analog design in it than most. Check out their website.
Nuts and Volts is probably the only North American mag of any consequence to folks here, although I occasionally find reason to pick up Audio Express for a construction article.
Elektor is still going strong in many different languages, though I find a lot of their projects more complex than I want, or not particularly relevant, or else the PCB layouts so tightly spec'd that the only way you could make them would be is if you have a setup for making double-sided photosensitive boards. Maplin, in England, has a mag with the occasional decent article. Electroniques Pratiques can have something useful in it from time to time.
Thanks guys!
all the mergers and name changes drove me nuts
What ever happened to "electronics now" or was that just a supplement to one of the other mags?
