Fair Use Building and Research Labs Presents: Introduction To Electronics and Breadboarding Circuits

This document provides an overview of an introductory electronics and breadboarding circuits class. The class will cover fundamental electronics principles like what is an electronic circuit, types of power sources, and basic electronic components. Students will learn about components like resistors, capacitors, LEDs, transistors, motors and how they combine to make circuits. The class will then demonstrate some example circuits using these components and students will get a kit to take home to make their own projects.

Fair Use Building and

Research Labs Presents


Introduction to Electronics and
Breadboarding Circuits
What we're going to learn today:

What is an electronic circuit?


What kind of power is needed for these projects?
What are the fundamental principles of electronics?
What are the basic electronic components used in DC analog
circuits?
How do these principles combine to make interesting things?
 
We're going to make some of those things, and you can take
the kit, and the projects home with you.

About parts

Symmetric vs Asymmetric
Polarized
Physics and chemistry in a tiny package
Explain Data Sheets
What is electricity?

What kinds are there?


What can it do?
What are the dangers?
Batteries as a power source
What kinds of batteries are there?
What is a circuit?

Combination of electronic parts, wires connected between


power sources. It's like a physical program. It's also like setting
up dominoes in sequence.
What is a breadboard?

What are they good for?


Creatings, organizing, and prototyping a circuit.

Literally started out as a bread board with nails.


What are LEDs?

Light Emitting Diodes
Diode Symbol + Arrows for light
Points to ground
Hello World for a Circuit
Light and LED
Parts:
Battery
Resistor
LED

Why:
Power Source
An LED will light up when enough voltage is supplied but can
also burn out if too much is allowed to pass through. The
resistor will limit the voltage to prevent damage.

Do:
Connect Battery, Resistor, LED
LED Circuit

1 LED Plus resistor


Why have a resistor?
Current, limiting.
Series circuit example
Parallel Circuit example
Parallel and Series Circuit Example
Fundamental Parts

Resistor
Capacitor
Wire
Diodes
Light Emitting Diodes (LED)
Battery
Transistors
Motors
They each have a physical property that interacts with
electricity. When put in combination various actions occur.
What are resistors?

Resistors provide a specific amount of resistance to a path in a


circuit or wire. Ohm's law is used to calculate the
properties related to resistance.

Ohm's Law:  I = V/R


I = Current measured in Amps
V = Voltage measured in Volts
R = Resistance measured in Ohms

Resistors are color coded.


Resistor Color Code

Resistor Color Code Wheel Calculator


Variable resistor: The potentiometer

Voltage dividers
Try out the different pots.
RGB LED

Try resistors out in various combination to make different


colors. Experiment by adding potentiometers to the leads.
LED and Photoresistor

Photoresistors change their resistance by the amount of light


detected.
What are capacitors?

Capacitor is two separated charges.
Known charge up time.
Know discharge time.
Two major kinds
• Electrolytic, asymmetric, bipolar 
• Ceramic, symmetric
Capacitors in series
Capacitors in Parallel

They can provide energy, however briefly.


They can smooth out a signal.

Attach the battery briefly to fill the capacitor.


Capacitors in series and parallel
Make a voltage regulator
Turn things on and off with a:

Wire
Button
Photoresistor
Hall Effect Sensor
Relay
Transistor
Button
Switch
Transistors

NPN Transistor 
Hall Effect Sensor
Reed Switch Example

A reed switch is closed when a magnet is in close proximity.


It is symmetric so it can placed either direction.
Tilt ball switch

Emergency on/off if project tips over.


Motors

Try changing the direction 


of the diode.
What happens?
Relay
