Basic Electronics Workshop Proposal

[M]

Hey all,

Jose and myself are going to be running workshops on basic electronics
encompassing soldering, maths, analogue and digital circuits. The idea
is to run a series of basic classes, to get people started as smoothly
as possible and mainly focus on the practical side of things in the
beginning.

I'm posting this here ahead of time to figure out who will be
interested in attending.

Regards,
Morris.

I'd be potentially interested.

That's it.  We're not messing around anymore, we're buying a bigger dictionary.  -  Tibor Fischer, The Thought Gang.

I'd definitely be interested in an electronics workshop designed for complete novices.

Thanks,

Highly recommended viewing for anyone wanting a more detailed
introduction
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/video-lectures/.

I particularly love the opening lecture on what engineering is in
general. To paraphrase, it boils down to using abstraction to ignore
all the boring bits and make cool stuff.

The great thing about these lectures is the practical focus albeit the
target audience is an EE student not someone wanting to blink a LED.

I'd be willing to help out with this.

I would be interested in to take part. Can help on basics and would
love to hear about power/current arrangement,
- to drive big motors with digital circuits etc.
- to drive an huge array of sensors and not fry eggs on.

The techniques used to drive motors don't change much with size, just use bigger semiconductors and
heatsinks. And what do you class as a big motor, this is the sort of stuff I work with:
