Electronics Exercises

This document tracks a number of small exercises to prototype. The goal is not a final product but skill building.

Circuit Design

I've mostly hit all the goals here. The first circuit didn't turn out correctly because it ended up reversed. But I think I've got the basics.

Needs work

• Import a library of parts
• Figure out a better way to do board headers

Motors

1. Manually drive a stepper motor
2. Wire up H Bridge to linear actuator (manual control)

Micro controllers

• Use the AVR chip from an Arduino (off the board)
• Use a PL2303HX chip with AVR
• Use an SPI LCD with AVR

After motor

• Drive Stepper
• Drive DC with rotary encoder
• Driver Servo motor
