Everywhere you look, you'll find circuits. The cell
phone in your pocket, the computer that controls
your car's emissions system, your video game
console - all these things are chock full of circuits.
In this guide, you'll experiment with some simple
circuits and learn the gist of the world of embedded
electronics.
The World Runs on Circuits:
Getting Started with Circuits
A circuit is basically an electrical loop with a starting point and an
ending point - with any number of components in between.
Circuits can include resistors, diodes, inductors, sensors of all sizes
and shapes, motors, and any other handful of hundreds of
thousands of components.
Circuits are usually divided into three categories - analog circuits,
digital circuits, or mixed-signal circuits. In this guide, you will
explore all three sets of circuits.
What is an Electrical Circuit?
// Simple and Complex Circuits
In this guide, you will be primarily exploring
simple circuits - but that doesn't mean you can't
do amazing things with simple tools! When you've
finished the SIK, your knowledge of circuits will
enable you to explore amazing projects and
unleash the power of your imagination.
