How do I
Start?
Ohm’s LawV = IR Signals
Switches
Diode Transistors
Gates
Field-Effect Transistors
Operational Amplifier
Electronics is about dealing with signals

Next step? Breadboard it!
Schematic Printed Circuit boards (PCB)
Tools of the trade
Wires. Screwdriver. Pliers. Cutters.
Multi-meter.
Kits.

• ultra-small (2mm x 2mm) – WOW!
• Tri-axial• Measurement of
accelerations in 3 perpendicular axes
• Senses tilt, motion, shock and vibration
- Low power consumption of 130 μA – NICE!

Start doin’ something!
1. Pick a simple project that you can manage
2. buy tools and parts as you need
3. learn through problems
4. Have a project goal.
