Sample Lesson

RFID Reader Project

In Lesson B-11 you will learn to use an RFID reader in your projects. Once it's installed in your circuit, you will write the code to program the access cards and then you can tie access to other functions in a project such as keeping a data log or activating an alarm.

Sample Lesson

Raspberry Pi Camera Project

Gather real time data and write programs to react to it. Lesson C-12 will teach you to use a Raspberry Pi camera. In the robotics course, you'll later use those skills to install the camera on the robot and create decision making programs based on what the robot sees.

Install and Configure a Robot's Motors

Building a fully mobile and programmable robot means getting those motors installed and calibrated so the robots movements can be accurately controlled. In Lesson D-3 you'll work through installing the motors while building the robot chassis. Later in Lessons D-10 and D-11 you'll learn to work with a motor drive IC, draw on your pulse width modulation knowledge from a previous lesson, and write the code to calibrate the motors.

Beginners Welcome

Not sure where to start on your own projects? Our courses were designed with beginners in mind.

All courses start with the fundamentals to ensure you have a solid understanding of how every part of a circuit works and how to write each line of code.

You'll then build on that knowledge systematically lesson-by-lesson to work with increasingly complex components, code, and projects.
