Simple stuff to start really: driving I/O, basics of transistors and mosfets for switching/level translation/etc., rules of thumb for things like pull-ups and LEDs… that kind of thing. <br>> <br>> Would there be any interest in a revisit of that kind of thing? It can be kept fairly generic so that people using their arduini, ${animal}boards/bones and various dessert boards could benefit from it. I can talk about PWM (for servos, or analog outputs), ADC rules of thumb, driving large loads without letting the magic smoke out, etc….<br>> <br>> I’m getting rusty with my Linux skills but driving electronics doesn’t require anyone to know more than the basics anyway.<br>> <br>> -A.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> kwlug-disc mailing list<br>> kwlug-disc@kwlug.org<br>> http://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org<br></div> </div></body>
