Oct.19 Freshman EE Lab

The following exercises were used with freshman electrical engineers for 1 hour lab.


Some of the basic concepts touched on were:

• Use of Touch sensor for control
• A blinky LED is to electrical engineering like Hello World is to  programming.
• Flip-flop via blinking LED, plus Set/Reset and Switch FBs
• Trigger on raising edge (turned on) and trigger on falling edge (turned off)
• In Ex.4 reuse of patterns to do something similar

Ex.1 was explained, most finished Ex.2, half made progress on Ex.3, but none fully finished.


Ex.1 Press Touch and LED comes on

Ex.2 Press Touch and LED starts to blink

Ex.3 Press Touch and LED starts to blink, then release Touch and the blinking stops

Ex.4 Press Touch blinking starts, then press Touch a second time and the blinking stops
