Status

Something we are thinking about.

General

Electronics has changed in the age of the Arduino, not just because of the Arduino but other things have also contributed:

  • Most electronics now have micro controllers and software
  • While discrete components still exist much work is done with sub assemblies often containing 100's of components.
  • Prices have fallen.
  • The web provides almost real time access to components and other gear.
  • Specifications that used to require ownership of manuals are now online.
  • Tons of learning material online.

This course will help you navigate this new landscape.

  • Network theory
  • Current
  • Capicators
  • Inductors
  • Transistor
  • ......
  • Complex circuits
