🚀 Making DIY Electronics Learning More Accessible 🧠🔧
Over the past several months, I’ve been developing a set of learning materials designed to lower the barriers to entry for those exploring electronics. The goal is to create a more inclusive and engaging learning experience that balances structured guidance with creative freedom.
While the aim is to have learning activities built around a specific outcome, the learners have freedom to shape their own final projects, constrained within predefined competencies. This approach encourages experimentation and personal expression, without compromising meeting the competencies.
📚 Examples of some topics currently covered include:
- Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
- Remote control systems
- Embedded telemetry and control signals using data structures
- Networking fundamentals
- PCB design
- Programming embedded systems
- Real-time processing
While the project is still a work in progress, many of the foundational components are already available through open-source GitHub repositories. The broader vision is to build a modular ecosystem of open-source and open-hardware tools that support both learning and hands-on prototyping.
