Basic electronics:

Components, schematics, power, AC and DC, signals, electrical safety, soldering, how to scrap for parts, how to put together projects from kits or schematics, more advanced topics if desired.

 

I have a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University and I am an electronics hobbyist. Let's make stuff.

Well it's not really dependent on one person. You have that kit; it's a great kit. If you have a soldering iron you have everything you need to do it. Here is one of many guides available online on how to solder: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-solder/

Ok here's the plan - Let's do a long Saturday or Sunday workshop. Approximately 4 hours total, maybe 1.5 hours of discussion and the rest for doing the project.

I'll teach on these topics - circuits, schematics, electronic components (including how to read data sheets), how to breadboard, how to solder, and an introduction to synthesis & electronic instruments (like the solar theremin). Then we'll all put together solar theremins from the kits available on the ClockworkRobot site (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/kinetic-arts/sculpture/gallery7/1.htm).

 

Let's wait until after the holidays so everybody can order their kits and get back in town. I'm pretty open, what Saturday or Sundays work for you all?
