Electronics and robotics

Wire up sensors, tune motors, and script small behaviors. Start tiny and iterate toward reliable little robots.

Breadboard to PCB Sensor intuition Repeatable tests

What you’ll explore

  • Microcontrollers, pins, and power basics.
  • Driving servos and motors with simple control loops.
  • Debugging with multimeters, logs, and LEDs.

Starter missions

  • Build a tiny rover that can drive straight and stop on cue.
  • Read sensor values, plot them, and smooth noisy signals.
  • Swap in a custom PCB once your breadboard proves stable.

Workshop vibe

Label your bins, keep a fresh set of jumpers, and set aside time to log each wiring change. The boring organization keeps the fun bits fun.
