New Adventures in Physical and Virtual Systems Design

This week I decided to jump ahead a bit to delve into the third section of the book dealing with basic electronics.  I had scheduled a meeting with Don Johnson who is well versed in electronics and I wanted to mentally prepare myself for our meeting.  The three chapters that I read dealt with semiconductors, diodes and power supplies.

I was especially interested in the chapter on power supplies since I was seriously thinking about building my own power supply for my Blacet rack.

I met with Don Johnson on Monday, October 26^th of week five.  He is an extremely knowledgeable man regarding mathematics and electronics.  We discussed logarithmic scales and power supplies.  I quickly realized that perhaps the best course of action for now would be to purchase a power supply and wait on a power supply build for the time being.

While poking around in the library recently, I found a book on designing and building power supplies from the TAB electronics serious as well as a handbook on troubleshooting electronics.  I think both texts will be of interest in the near future.
