Dr. Welch Workshop: Electronics

Learn how to use a Raspberry Pi in conjunction with an Arduino to build a basic robot with advanced capabilities. Getting started in robotics does not have to be difficult. This book is an insightful and rewarding introduction to robotics and a catalyst for further directed study.

Design and build custom hardware interfaces for the Raspberry Pi and discover low cost display and sensor options for embedded system projects.  With this book you'll master 12C communications using Raspbian Linux in C++ and perform ADC and DAC experiments. You'll experiment with debounce buttons and switches using hardware and software solutions.

This is a resource on using SPICE as a power conversion design companion. The book bridges analysis and market reality to teach the development and marketing of state-of-the art switching converters. It explains how to derive founding equations of the most popular converters and design safe, reliable converters.
