greetings fellow mortals, first off happy new year! i hope this coming year will be a great one for all of us. onto what i came here for, im sure you are wondering what happened with my electronics venture and i am here to deliver! behold!
yes, it is none other than a light-emitting diode super complex circuit!! okay maybe the fancy word for led did not trick you and made you believe this is a difficult feat to pull. nonetheless, i am quite proud that i did not fry the led.
in case it interests you, this is the schematic of the circuit ->
ill be honest it really reminded me of when i used to play with circuits back in school so it brought me so much joy the moment the bulb lit up. i also tried attaching a button which also worked! it was fun making these small circuits and i want to make more too.
as for the theory part, i learned so much from the book. here is a mini summary of what i learned:
- maxwell’s equations
- lumped element abstraction
- lumped matter discipline
- voltage = potential difference
- circuit sign convention (i +ve into element!)
- ohm’s law
- batteries in series vs. parallel
- calculating resistance
- kvl and kcl
- open circuit vs short circuit
- i=c in series, v=c in parallel
- composition rules
- node method
- linear circuit techniques
- thevenin and norton methods
- digital abstraction
- static discipline
- boolean logic and combinational gates
- binary vs decimal
writing the list down now really made me realize how much i learned. to be fair, from my background in programming, i did have some sort of idea on the digital topics so i didn’t delve too deep into them, but i sure did PLENTY of math with the analog circuits!
im still not done learning the theory, so there will be more updates soon. for now though i will keep this post as a short check-in on what i have been up to. please look forward to the next update! if you have any questions about my journey so far, drop a comment will ya? ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊
