The Art of Doing: Electronics for Everyone [FREE]
What you’ll learn:
-
Fundamental electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits. Learn how they operate and build!
-
How to use various laboratory equipment such as power supplies, multimeters, function generators, and oscilloscopes.
-
Both DC and AC applications of electronic circuits including transistor switches and amplifiers, RC timing circuits, and filters.
-
The LM 358 Operational Amplifier – how to wire it up using a single supply as a crude comparator, non-inverting amplifier, and inverting amplifier.
-
The LM 555 Timer – how to wire it up in bistable, monostable, and astable mode.
-
The CD 4017 Decade Counter – how to wire it up as a 10 LED flasher and music sequencer.
-
10 “Circuit Challenge Problems” putting your knowledge (what you’ve learned in the course) to the test.
-
10 “Build Together Circuits” where we walk through, together, building 10 unique electronic circuits.
-
Exciting circuits include: a working night light, sound to light show, volume meter, toy theremin, toy piano, 8 bit synthesizer, and 8 step music sequencer.
Requirements:
-
We will start at the ground level and work our way up in our knowledge and understanding.
-
For best results, students should purchase the electronic components (parts list included) used in the videos so they can build along with me.
-
I have designed the course to work with a breadboard, minimal components, a 9 volt battery, and a multimeter. There are times where I use a function generator or oscilloscope to teach. While they are helpful for you, they are not needed to complete the course.
