Wednesday's lab

Wednesday, we'll do a lab designed to get you more familiarized with wiring and analyzing (qualitatively) simple circuits. We'll figure out how resistors work, and how to combine resistors and capacitors.

In a couple weeks time, after we've gone over some of the basic hardware and know-how you need to build circuits, we will begin a semester-long project on electronics. At the moment, my plan is to have you learn how to build simple amplifiers and oscillators, and finally make an FM radio transmitter/receiver by the end of the semester.

Must crawl before walking ... so the first labs will go a bit slowly until we've covered all the basics.
