Free Certification Course Title: The Art of Doing: Electronics for Everyone

Start designing, building, and playing with your own circuits today!

Fundamental electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits. Learn how they operate and build!
How to use various laboratory equipment such as power supplies, multimeters, function generators, and oscilloscopes.
Both DC and AC applications of electronic circuits including transistor switches and amplifiers, RC timing circuits, and filters.
The LM 358 Operational Amplifier – how to wire it up using a single supply as a crude comparator, non-inverting amplifier, and inverting amplifier.
The LM 555 Timer – how to wire it up in bistable, monostable, and astable mode.
The CD 4017 Decade Counter – how to wire it up as a 10 LED flasher and music sequencer.
10 “Circuit Challenge Problems” putting your knowledge (what you’ve learned in the course) to the test.
10 “Build Together Circuits” where we walk through, together, building 10 unique electronic circuits.
Exciting circuits include: a working night light, sound to light show, volume meter, toy theremin, toy piano, 8 bit synthesizer, and 8 step music sequencer.

We will start at the ground level and work our way up in our knowledge and understanding.
For best results, students should purchase the electronic components (parts list included) used in the videos so they can build along with me.
I have designed the course to work with a breadboard, minimal components, a 9 volt battery, and a multimeter. There are times where I use a function generator or oscilloscope to teach. While they are helpful for you, they are not needed to complete the course.

Tinkerers, hobbyists, and DIYers of all things electronic.
People who are interested in designing circuits.
Anyone who has used an Arduino to blink a light and asked, “How would I do that without code?!?!”
Anyone interested in creating music from electronic circuits; bleeping and blooping.
