These are support pages an 8-session class is a basic introduction to both electronics and programming the Arduino microprocessor. The intent is to prepare the student for what is currently popular in the maker world, rather than an electronics or engineering degree, and includes some things of interest to amateur radio enthusiasts.
Day 1: How electricity works, drawing a circuit, resistors, using a breadboard
Day 2: The Arduino, the Arduino IDE, making a light blink
Day 3: Getting data, what’s a thermistor, resistors in series and parallel
Day 4: AC, capacitor, diode, oscilloscope, signal generator, capacitors in series and parallel
Day 5: Transistors, potentiometers, phototransistor, rotary encoder
Day 6: Pull-down resistor, electromagnet, relay, inductor, RF filters
Day 7: Code libraries, displaying text, NeoPixels, making tones
Day 8: Build Arduino various projects using sensors
