Parts


Sensors

Sensors can be based on:

  • Resistance
  • Capacity
  • Frequency
  • Integrated Logic


Circuits

  • Voltage, Current & Resistance
  • Powersources (+,-,GND,Vss,Vdd), moving direction
  • Parallel & series circuits
  • Cryptic abbreviations: TTL, CMOS, I2C/IIC, RS232...
  • Integrated Circuits:
    • DIP (Dual Inline Package)
    • SMD (Sub Miniature Devices)
    • Identifying Pin-Numbers
  • Prototyping
    • Alligator-Clips
    • Breadboard
    • PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards)
  • Working with the Multimeter
  • Finding and reading datasheets

general

  • Units and their prefixes (pico, nano, micro...)
  • Frequency and Sinewaves
  • Digital numbers representation
