/diy/ - Do It Yourself

[Anonymous No.1578683]

Can you recommend a practical book on mechatronics?

I‘m a CompSci student and purely out of interest I want to get into being able to build my own electrical devices. Yes, that‘s vague but my ideas could take me in all kinds of directions. I need something that gives me an understanding in engineering in general. For example, right now I‘m interested in drones, so it would be great to buid my own. Not finished drones to buy from Amazon, I want to build it myself. Maybe with a 3D printer and individual electric components that I assembe myself.

Give a newbie a nodge in the right direction. Thanks

Alright I actually found a great book on electrical engineering and circuits. So any material on mechanical engineering? Something practical and shallow. Like I'd be interested in building the encasement/frame/parts of drones, robots, rockets, etc.
Depending on whatever specific project I could read related more detailed material, but right now I just want a general, broad understanding. Even if it's shallow.

i recently discovered MIT opencourseware, specfically the electrical engineering set of courses. if you want to pursue a more thorough understanding of the discipline without paying for it, i'd seriously recommend taking a look through their catalog and trying a couple out.

look into building fpv quadcopters

you will learn everything you need in the process
