This course is an introduction to basic electronic test equipment commonly used in building and debugging circuits. In addition, the reader will also become familiar with the usage of breadboards, a common circuit prototyping material.

The test equipment covered will include multimeters, DC power supplies and oscilloscopes, with a short section on logic analysers.

Although this course material can be consumed without having the above equipment, it is still recommended to have a set on-hand for the full experience. The best way to learn how to use electronic equipment is to keep using them! (press all the buttons)

How do you use this book?

graph LR;

Multimeter --> id0[Activity I]
id1[Power supply] --> id0[Acitivity I]
id0[Activity I] --> Oscilloscope 
Oscilloscope --> id3[Acitivity II]
Oscilloscope --> id2[Logic analyser]

Above is the recommended flow to follow when utilising this resource. It can also be used as a reference in case you need a refresher on any of the tools covered.

The activities section is have some practice using these tools, although they do not exhaustively cover all of their features. Instead, the goal is to equip the reader with the knowledge needed to begin their road to mastery.
