These could be of benefit to some. This is an excellent course.
The individual modules are in "PDF" format and downloadable.

Interesting. I prefer working with digital electronics and programmable microcontrollers. :) I surprised myself when I was able to get an LCD working that I had bought about 15 years before and ended up assembling it into an alarm system with an LCD panel, keypad, and sound. I haven't done much since though, but was actually considering pulling out my stuff this past weekend.

Wow, I had almost forgotten about the NEETS modules. I hated those things while I was in the Navy!!! They are a good resource, but can put you to sleep faster than a prescription sleeping pill.
Melissa,
I've been using the Netburner 5282 series of microcontrollers at work and I've gotten hooked. If you are getting back into the hobby they are a GREAT little micro.
They are a bit expensive, but have tons of features and are quite powerful.

Neat! Thank you for this.
While I am afraid electronics are like automobiles for me (in one ear and out the other) I keep hoping...

Quote from: Jennifer on April 30, 2007, 09:52:23 PMI was using the PIC microcontrollers since they are more standard and cheaper. I had built my own PIC programmer and have used the PIC16F84A 18 pin chip and made an adapter for the PIC16F877 40 pin chip. The alarm I made used the smaller chip.

I agree the PICs are far far cheaper than the Netburner and a very nice little micro.
