Electronics Onboarding
The Electronics section of CRSN-151C will walk you through the design flow of creating physical electronic circuits known as Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). These course materials provide the basics of how to use Autodesk's Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software, known as EAGLE, to produce electronic circuit schematics and PCBs. You will also learn the basic physics behind common circuit components, and how to source these parts for purchase and use in EAGLE. The materials provided here will further your ability to design and produce PCBs, with the intention of giving you the skills and confidence to contribute to the Slugbotics underwater ROV.
How to use this website:
Linked below are relevant subpages for those interested in completing the onboarding material. The structure of the class is as follows: There are 3 major projects within the course, each covering new and previous material. Each project will have lectures and prelabs leading up to it, providing information on the tools you need to complete it. In addition, these prelabs contain quizzes that serve as checkpoints of the students to make sure you are keeping up with the work. All dates listed on this website are in association with the Fall 2020 Quarter.
Discussion On Submission:
All of the content within these modules is based on the Canvas course offered in Fall 2020. This means that each project and prelab contains submit-able items. Note that if you are following along with the course, you will not be able to submit your finished projects, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't attempt to complete them.
Project 1 - Git and EAGLE basics
These are the two EAGLE lectures from the previous year's onboarding, based on designing an Arduino. You're welcome to view them, but the current lectures are much more in depth. Lecture 1 covers schematics, libraries, and part creation. Lecture 2 covers board layout.
