• Tuesday, June 9, (very brief) math refresher, volts, amps, ohms, and using your multi-meter.

With platforms like the Arduino and resources like Make: Magazine, it's never been easier to get started in electronics. Having an understanding of the basics can make your projects go smoother and save you from costly mistakes that can easily let the magic smoke out of your expensive new Arduino Deumilanove board.

 All sessions will include some hands on projects involving solderless breadboards and multi-meters, and all sessions will include some "insider" information on sourcing components (Ax-man, internet shops, etc) and sources for additional information, including books and websites. Bring a meter capable of measuring volts, amps, and resistance.

Instructor:  Michael Hord (mike.hord@gmail.com) is an electrical engineer, perpetual tinkerer and unrepentant dumpster diver.

• Tuesday, June 16, diodes, LEDs, and switches.
• Tuesday, June 23, power supplies and batteries.
• Tuesday, June 30, transistors and a VERY basic intro to the world of integrated circuits.
