Welcome to the Electronics Resources Page for students. \u00a0This page has lots of information on learning electronics and is intended on being used as a resource when you are stuck or what to start working on electronics outside of class. Common Tools & Equipment<\/a> – used in the classroom Common Parts and Symbols<\/a> – these are the basic parts and their symbols that you will be using in the classroom. How to setup a power supply<\/a> (youtube) How to Breadboard<\/a> (youtube) Resistor\/LED explaination<\/a> (youtube) Basic component explaination<\/a> (youtube)<\/p>\n

Software used in the Electronics Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diptrace Program<\/a> – from the company website. Download the free version<\/a>. I have created 3 custom libraries that go with the program that make it a lot easier. These 3 files have been compressed in the following zip file\u00a0Diptrace – parts<\/a>\u00a0which you can download and install. As I create components needed in my class I update these files. The lasted time updated was Sept 16, 2016. Here is a tutorial on using Diptrace<\/a> provided by the company and my own tutorials are below; \n\n\n\n\t
Schematic Drawing - Youtube<\/strong>
