The pages below became so popular that they exceeded
the download allotment of our web-space
provider, Geocities and were constantly turned off.
They have now been transferred to our new site:
TALKING ELECTRONICS
Interactive Edition.
This new site is larger and is accessed on a subscription-basis of $19.95.
TALKING
ELECTRONICS
is the largest electronics
magazine in the US and it now has a totally separate web edition called
TALKING ELECTRONICS
Interactive Edition.
Click HERE
to go to our new site.
I know you will like it as it is being
constantly updated and a new issue is presented every month.
See sample pages by clicking the links on the introductions page.
It also has a new section called
FREE
Projects where you will find projects to teach programming of PIC
chips and a new range of projects for robots.

What
are we at?
What is our policy?
These are easy questions to
answer. We are one of Australia's largest producers of electronic kits and
educational articles. We have sold over 100,000 kits without any advertising
at all because we PROMOTE our products through educational articles.
The "1,000
Questions on Electronics" article will give beginners an understanding of
electronics and we will show suitable kits and books to buy from us to advance
to the next stage. (available soon)
Our article on PIC Programming (Australian
website) will get beginners into programming PIC16F84 and PIC12C508A
microcontrollers.
Our articles in our other publications see(
"BOOKS" on our Aust site) cover more than 100 other educational
kits - mostly of a simple nature. When I say educational, I mean the article
has been specifically written to fully explain how the circuit works and help
you get it going if it fails to operate.
This is what stands us out. You actually LEARN electronics with us and
thousands of customers have said they have gained more from our books and kits
than a $700 educational course!
There is an enormous amount of
material available from Talking Electronics in the form of books and kits.
Start with "1,000 Questions on Electronics" and as you can see on
the map above, we have a section containing projects and each has a kit you
can make so you can master
the practical side.
You can also get the complete set of "Electronics
Notebooks 1-6" with hand-written pages similar to black-board
learning. These books also contain a number of kits including TEST EQUIPMENT.
You can buy the kits from us and by putting them together you are on the
path to LEARNING ELECTRONICS. The main thrust is DIGITAL ELECTRONICS but a
number of analogue circuits are also included.
