An introduction to electronics to help you make the most from your Arduino or other prototyping platform.
InstructorDr. Peter DalmarisThe curriculum uses an online simulator to demonstrate specific circuit behaviors, such as voltage dividers and transistor operations.
Instruction is structured into dedicated modules for specific parts, including resistors, capacitors, and diodes.

The instructor introduces updated lectures on using a circuit simulator to boost understanding, standing beside a screen showing a detailed schematic diagram.
This image demonstrates practical electronics testing by showing a hand using an oscilloscope probe on a breadboard circuit while monitoring signals on a Rigol oscilloscope and multimeter.
A hand assembles a transistor circuit on a breadboard while referencing a handwritten schematic and component datasheet.
Two small black cylindrical electronic components are held in the palm of a hand above an open plastic storage box, demonstrating physical hardware for electronics projects.
Some signals suggest that quizzes may cover material not explicitly detailed in the preceding lectures or contain questions unrelated to the immediate topic.
Learners have noted instances where equations or information are presented without sufficient explanation, and some sections on voltage regulators appear difficult to follow.
The curriculum aligns well with the needs of Arduino makers through component-centric instruction and prerequisite setup.
