[sdiy] electronics book

[Tom Wiltshire]

I agree too about the write ups, but some of his schematics could be a *lot* easier to read. Many of them have been squeezed into a space that's really a bit too small, and it's hard to see what goes where and get the "flow" of it from one block to another. One example:

This is a great shame, since on the page I got this from, he goes through a good explanation of how the PT2399 chip works and what you can do with it.
