Lab 1

Solder up a circuit that flashes an LED and runs off a 9V battery.

That's the whole lab assignment. It's up to you to design a schematic, find parts, choose a construction technique, and make sure the customer (your professor) is satisfied. Feel free to ask questions, but you must demonstrate a working circuit by the end of class today.

If you need help soldering, read the comic book.



Here are some quick pictures of some of the student-built projects. The first student to finish the lab built an emitter-coupled multivibrator, which I like very much.


Another student built a free-standing artful one.


Most students built a simple 555 timer on a piece of perf board, which was a good solution.


Several students built their 555 timer circuits in the "dead-bug" style, which I appreciated.


One clever student produced this variation on a ring oscillator.


All great jobs.

  1. Since every electronic product is different and is made using different components, the whole process of manufacturing printed circuit boards is highly customized. PCB reverse engineering services Some scientists believe that the average American may have been exposed to dangerous levels of PCBs without even being aware of it.

  2. You can use fiberglass, Teflon or cross-linked polystyrene for the PCB, and it is through the PCB prototype that you find out which PCB material best fits your PCB. FastPCBunion.com So, quality testing is a critical process of the PCB fabrication process.
