-===== How do we build electronics? ===== +===== breadboards ===== 
 + 
 +Especially see halfway down the page the section on "Anatomy of a Breadboard": 
 + 
 +https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-use-a-breadboard/all 
 + 
 +===== how a switch works ===== 
 + 
 +https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/button-and-switch-basics/all 
 + 
 +===== relays =====

 + 
 +===== first oscillator: astable multivibrator ===== 
 + 
 +First one is a good tutorial on building the circuit; I followed this spec. The second one is a good explanation of why it works. 
 +

 +  * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ0YZcC84m4 
 + 
 +This is a good technical description of the astable multivibrator: 
 +  * https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/waveforms/astable.html 
 + 
 +Here's an [[led-oscillator|astable multivibrator with potentiometer to control oscillation speed]]. 
 + 
 +Use an astable vibrator to produce audio: 
 + 
 +===== Force Sensitive Resistor ===== 
 + 
 +A good tutorial on force-sensitive resistors: https://lastminuteengineers.com/fsr-arduino-tutorial/ 
 + 
 +Here's [[electronics-fsr-01|a circuit which uses an FSR to control an LED.]] 
 + 
 +===== exercises =====  
 + 
 +  * [[electronics-series-parallel|compare the difference between three LEDs in series and parallel]] 
 +  * [[electronics-switch-green-red|a circuit with a switch to alternate between green and red LEDs]]
  
 ===== chaotic circuits ===== ===== chaotic circuits =====

 +
 +===== using speakers =====
 +
 +breadboard speakers:
 +
 +  * https://www.instructables.com/Breadboard-Speaker/
 +  * https://www.instructables.com/LETS-MAKE-a-PORTABLE-SPEAKER-ON-a-BREADBOARD/
 +
 +===== speaker design =====

 +
 +===== universal PCBs =====
 +
 +  * https://hillmancurtis.com/universal-pcb/
 +  * https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Prototype-Without-Using-Printed-Circuit-Boa/
 +
 +===== first circuit to circuit board: LED with switch and 9V battery =====
 +
 +[[electronics-first-circuitboard-led|Here's a first circuit to practice.]]
 +
 +Once you have done that, try making [[electronics-oscillator-in-a-box|this oscillator on a circuit board and then installed in a plastic container]].
 +
 +===== designing custom arduino shields =====
 +
 +https://resources.altium.com/p/how-design-custom-arduino-shield-board
 +
 +===== using johnny five to control an arduino-based UV sensor =====
 +
 +[[electronics-uv-sensor-arduino|This code]] will allow you to display the data from a UV sensor attached to your Arduino.
