本書主要是給讀者熟悉使用Ameba RTL8195AM偵測各類有害氣體之氣體模組的介紹、使用方式、電路連接範例等等。Ameba RTL8195AM開發板最強大的不只是它的簡單易學的開發工具，最強大的是它網路功能與簡單易學的模組函式庫，幾乎Maker想到應用於物聯網開發的東西，只要透過眾多的周邊模組，都可以輕易的將想要完成的東西用堆積木的方式快速建立，而且Ameba RTL8195AM開發板市售價格比原廠Arduino Yun或Arduino + Wifi Shield更具優勢，最強大的是這些周邊模組對應的函式庫，瑞昱科技有專職的研發人員不斷的支持，讓Maker不需要具有深厚的電子、電機與電路能力，就可以輕易駕御這些模組。

在克里斯．安德森（Chris Anderson）所著「自造者時代：啟動人人製造的第三次工業革命」提到，過去幾年，世界來到了一個重要里程碑：實體製造的過程愈來愈像軟體設計，開放原始碼創造了軟體大量散布與廣泛使用，如今，實體物品上也逐漸發生同樣的效應。網路社群中的程式設計師從Linux作業系統出發，架設了今日世界上絕大部分的網站（Apache WebServer），到使用端廣受歡迎的FireFox瀏覽器等，都是開放原始碼軟體的最佳案例。 現在自造者社群（Maker Space）也正藉由開放原始碼硬體，製造出電子產品、科學儀器、建築物，甚至是3C產品。其中如Arduino開發板，銷售量已遠超過當初設計者的預估。連網路巨擘Google Inc.也加入這場開放原始碼運動，推出開放原始碼電子零件，讓大家發明出來的硬體成品，也能與Android軟體連結、開發與應用。 目前全球各地目前有成千上萬個「自造空間」（makerspace）─光是上海就有上百個正在籌備中，多自造空間都是由在地社群所創辦。如聖馬特奧市（SanMateo）的自造者博覽會（Maker Faire），每年吸引數10萬名自造者前來朝聖，彼此觀摩學習。但不光是美國，全球各地還有許多自造者博覽會，台灣一年一度也於當地舉辦Maker Fair Taiwan，數十萬的自造者（Maker）參予了每年一度的盛會。 本系列「Maker系列」由此概念而生。面對越來越多的知識學子，也希望成為自造者（Make），追求創意與最新的技術潮流，筆著因應世界潮流與趨勢，思考著「如何透過逆向工程的技術與手法，將現有產品開發技術轉換為我的知識」的思維，如果我們可以駭入產品結構與設計思維，那麼了解產品的機構運作原理與方法就不是一件難事了。更進一步我們可以將原有產品改造、升級、創新，並可以將學習到的技術運用其他技術或新技術領域，透過這樣學習思維與方法，可以更快速的掌握研發與製造的核心技術，相信這樣的學習方式，會比起在已建構好的開發模組或學習套件中學習某個新技術或原理，來的更踏實的多。 本系列的書籍，因應自造者運動的世界潮流，希望讀者當一位自造者，將現有產品的產品透過逆向工程的手法，進而了解核心控制系統之軟硬體，再透過簡單易學的Arduino單晶片與C語言，重新開發出原有產品，進而改進、加強、創新其原有產品的架構。如此一來，因為學子們進行「重新開

隨想集續 一些踩踏在虛空中的足跡 願我們心無波瀾，澄澈如天空。願我們彼此護慰，以度過這暫時的黑暗。 在出版了《隨想集》（2013-2022 年）三年之後，現在又集結了別冊《隨想集續》（2023-2025 年），以與心靈相契的朋友在靈魂的暗夜中互通款曲。這三年中，時代丕變！我們被催逼著隨著時代的鼓聲急速前行！將去往何方？不可確知，無法掌控。回顧身後？我們所熟悉的世界已一去不返了。這不僅是當代、也是古今共通的情境。思及此，我又要吟誦英國詩人馬修‧阿諾德（Matthew Arnold, 1822-1888）的詩句了，當時他與新婚妻子漫步在英國多佛海邊，遙見對岸法國的熠熠燈火：（這是最後的一段）Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! For the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, no peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night.馬修‧阿諾德所處的十九世紀，是一個變動劇烈的時代，工業革命的浪潮如海嘯般湧來，作為心靈與生活支柱的宗教信仰也受到人們的質疑，他身處其中，內心感到極度的惶惑不安 ―如此紛繁，如此美麗，如此新穎，其實沒有歡樂，沒有愛，沒有光，沒有明確，沒有和平，沒有對痛苦的救贖；詩人是先知吧？德國詩人海涅（Heinrich Heine, 1797-1856）早已警告世人：德意志的民族主義將為人類帶來大禍，果然。馬修‧阿諾德的惶惑不安也非無病呻吟，他謝世之後不到三十年，爆發了第一次世界大戰，他詩中描述的爭戰相殘不幸成真。現在，二十一世紀在驚濤駭浪中走過了四分之一，網路、人工智能、商業與消費主義……撒下漫天巨網，傳統價值與既有體制正在崩壞瓦解，我們心中的惶惑不安較諸十九世紀的先賢們更為猛烈。我的讀者朋友們―願我們心無波

投資大師們的指定教科書巴菲特說：「別人貪婪時我恐懼，別人恐懼時我貪婪。」索羅斯說：「市場總是錯誤的。」華爾街教父 班傑明‧葛拉漢：「不做群羊，一要正確思考，二要獨立思考。」在價格處於高位時對利多消息保持懷疑，在價格處於低位時對利空消息保持懷疑。本書的五大原則總結：1. Your main purpose must be to keep the mind clear and well balanced. Hence, do not act hastily on apparently sensational information; do not trade so heavily as to become anxious; and do not permit yourself to be influenced by your position in the market.1.你必須目標明確，頭腦冷靜，不能因一些道聽塗說的消息而莽撞行事；不要過度交易讓自己變得焦慮；更不能盲目地固執己見。2. Act on your own judgement, or else act absolutely and entirely on the judgement of another regardless of your own opinion."To many cooks spoil the broth."2.要麼依照自己的判斷行動，要麼無視自己的看法、絕對徹底地按別人的判斷行動。「人多手雜反而壞事。」3. When in doubt, keep out of the market. Delays cost less than losses.3.當心存疑慮、游移不定時，不要進行交易，延誤成本小於虧損。4. Endeavor to catch the trend of sentiment. Even if you should be temporarily against fundamental conditions, it is nevertheless unprofitable to oppose it.4.努力培養對走勢的敏感度，即使目前你還不能把握它，但這也絕不會是作無用功。5.

For fans of Shut Up, This Is Serious, this humorous, relatable novel gives an honest look at what it's like to fall in love for the first time...with someone you were sure you hated. High school senior Mayte has never been kissed, but it hardly matters. Her abuelita has cancer, her half sister with special needs has moved in, and college is off the table--family comes first. She keeps her problems to herself; why burden everyone she loves with more? Meanwhile, fellow senior Auggie is set on attending an elite creative writing program. But as the self-proclaimed most boring person alive, he can't exactly write the next great American novel when he's struggling to write a short story for college applications. After an awful blind date ("disaster" doesn't even begin to describe it), Mayte and Auggie are forced together by their merging social circles. The pair must at least pretend to get along...but soon they develop actual feelings. Then tragedy strikes Mayte's family. Auggie feels comp
