Dusk-to-Dawn Light
In this project, we'll create an automatic lighting system. We'll use a device called a "photocell" to turn a light on automatically when the room goes dark, and back off when the sunlight returns. You'll learn about:
|
- DC Power Supplies and Voltmeters
- Resistors and Ohm's Law
- Voltage Dividers
- Dependent Sources and Transistors
- Light Emitting Diodes

Time-Varying Signals
In this project, you will learn how signals that change over time can carry information from one place to another. You'll learn about:
|
- Sinusoidal signals
- Sinusoidal sweeps
- Amplitude and frequency modulation
- Custom signals

Intrusion Detection
In this project, we'll detect when a mechanical system, such as a door or window, is moved or displaced. Then, we'll use that info to sound an alarm. You'll learn about:
|
- Basic oscilloscope usage
- Time scaling
- Amplitude scaling
- Triggering
- Math channel
