Analog electronics - Robotics, learn by building
Course Description
With over 133 students enrolled within the first
month of its release, this module is the first of five on how to build
robots. In this module 1 course, you will build electronic circuits,
actually make some electronic components from scratch, learn about
electricity, soldering skills, and basic analog electronics. You'll
need some basic math skills and that's it! No prior knowledge of
electricity of electronics is required, and yet by the end of this
course you'll have built functioning electronic circuits like light
flashers, sound effects, and controlling the roboticist's best friend,
the servo motor which is a motor that turns to a specific direction at
your command. All courses have closed captions for the hearing impaired.
Course materials:
You will need electronic parts and a breadboard, which you can purchase as an accompanying kit (the Analog Electronics Kit) or provide your own.
The first section of the course explains what the tools and parts are and what you will need if you are supplying your own electronic parts.
Tools needed: a multimeter, soldering iron and solder, wire,
This course is the prerequisite for the part II course which is digital electronics where you will work with a computer-on-a-chip and hook that computer up to the real world. In part III you'll learn both physics and robotic drive systems, and gain a wide variety of skills in prototyping so you can actually build your own robots and manufacture your own parts. In part IV, you'll culminate all you've learned as you build a 3D printer from scratch, hook it up to a desktop computer and make your own plastic parts. The 3D printer is, in effect, a robot which you can then use to make parts for your other robot designs.

What are the requirements?
- Basic math skills, as well as some basic tools and electronic parts (parts & tools list is in the first lesson)
What am I going to get from this course?
- Over 50 lectures and 9.5 hours of content!
- develop and build analog electronics circuits
- you will build multiple circuits from sound buzzers to bionics where we actually control a servo motor by reading signals from your muscles
What is the target audience?
- Intended for beginners and those with some experience in electronics and hobby robotics
