Need book recommendation

[Mark Healey]

I have a number of projects I'd like to undertake involving
microcontrollers. The problem is that my hardware training was as a tech
over 20 years ago, so no training in circuit design. The logic is easy
enough it's just when when I look at schematics for various circuits there
are a bunch of resistors and capacitors there and I don't know what they
are for.

Anyway what I need is a book about circuit design that will enable me to
figure out when I should but them in my circuits and what values to use.

Can somebody recommend one?

I would also recommend trying to get hold of a copy of:

"The Art of Electronics", by Horowitz and Hill.

Go to your local Radio Shack and look over their selection of Forrest Mimms
booklets. I believe they still sell them.

AoE is quite dated with regards to microcontrollers.

It is, of course, excellent in general.
