Build classes on making a bench power supply
—unregulated supply
–linear regulator
–switching regulator
–current limit (both short circuit and foldback limit covered)
Electronic fuse–fuse material may take 100ms to melt, a programmable fuse can blow in microseconds
Using EL wire
Fun with op amps—teach that old arduino dog a new trick
Flourescent light ballast. want to run that flourescent tube off of a battery
Transformer winding Do you want more power than you can afford?
Do you want it badly enough to put a lot of work into it?
Rotary encoder We explore the mechanism behind your computers rodent, so you can measure all kinds of 1 and 2 axis movement with your microcontroller
digital sine wave generation
phase locked loop intro theory
phase locked loop build a frequency synthesizer
rechargeable batteries*----another multipart class where each section is a standalone class
final section builds a multicell 18650 charger
state machine intro its amazing what you can do with a hand full of D flip flops, some NANDS, and an SRAM a common name for these circuits is PLC
I am going to start taking a hard look at the calendar to add this stuff.
Cheers and thanks for all the suggestions.
