- [Instructor] If you want to follow along with this course
to build and measure your own electronic circuits,
you're going to need some hardware.
I've included a list of the various components and tools
I use throughout this course in the exercise files.
In the main directory for this course,
I've included a PDF file named Hardware List
that contains a list of components.
Almost all of these items are common parts
that you can purchase from a number of online retailers
or your local electronic store.
But, for your convenience, I've also included a link
to an online store page for each item.
Throughout this course, I'll be using two common
electrical tools to measure my circuits,
a digital multimeter and a oscilloscope.
I've included those items in the parts list as well,
and, for the multimeter,
I've provided two recommended options,
a very simple DMM that only makes basic measurements,
and a more advanced DMM with autoranging
and other capabilities.
I've also included a document with several
of my favorite online resources
for learning about electronics
that I recommend using as references
in addition to this course.
The rest of the exercise files are organized
into numbered directories for each chapter of the course
and then, within each chapter,
there are numbered directories for each video.
I've included things like circuit diagrams
and other reference documents
to help you follow along throughout the course.
When I mention one of those items in a video,
just navigate to the corresponding folder
in the exercise files to find it.
For some examples in this course,
I'll be using Arduino microcontroller
to demonstrate how certain circuits can be used
with microcontroller devices.
And, for those examples, I've included
the corresponding code in the exercise files.
However, this course is not intended
to teach Arduino programming.
I've simply chosen Arduino as a device
to demonstrate how electronic circuits
can interface with microcontroller platforms.
