Title: Beginner looking for books to learn from...
Post by: loggergolf on August 18, 2010, 11:36:24 pm
I am just starting to get into building my own projects and would love some reading material on the basics of some of the parts involved. Specifically circuits/electricity, motors, or anything else hobby project related. Anyone have books that they would recommend? Thanks for your time...

The next version of Project Arcade is apparently due out in January (it was available for preorder on Amazon as of last night), so you may want to wait.

A good place to start is the BYOAC Wiki (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Main_Page).

Preorder placed!  Shouldn't this be a sticky someplace mods?  I don't see any mention besides this thread and a vague thread that a new edition is coming soon in the Project Arcade forum.
