Back to Not Just Arduino page
This is a "wish list" of topics our members would like to hear about. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on the page. The format is up to you, it could be a very short presentation or a more hands-on demo. Sessions are open to everyone.
Below are a few examples of topics about power control and design in low voltage circuits, I'm sure some of them overlap. Feel free to add more talks and leave some comments.
| Talks | Speaker | Interested | Comments |
| The mathematics of electronics, Watts, Ohms, Farads, Coulombs, Amperes, Volts | Paul Maidment, Bradley Wood, Matt Wheeler | Ohms law; resistors, capacitors in series and parallel; Kirchhoff's laws, Power equations. | |
| How to measure, control and limit current | Paul Maidment| Bradley Wood | This is quite a big area: from basic resistor usage, to transistors, mosfets, relays, triacs, etc. Might be worth splitting out into sub-sections. -- Bradwood (talk) | |
| How to design for the power requirements of your circuit/project | Paul Maidment| Bradley Wood | . | |
| How to design your project for lower power usage | Paul Maidment| Bradley Wood | . | |
| How to reduce power consumption via programming (applies to most microcontrollers) | Paul Maidment| Bradley Wood | would be nice to cover the ATMEL's uC's SLEEP capabilities. -- Bradwood (talk) | |
| OpAmps -- what they are, with practical examples | Bradley Wood | . | |
| Filter circuitry -- what they are and why you might want one | Bradley Wood | Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass, etc, etc. | |
| Accelerometers -- tips and tricks for dealing with them | Bradley Wood | Bradley Wood | Setting range and frequency. Calibration. High or Low pass filtering. Sensing tap, tilt, freefall, etc, etc. Accelerometers in the context of other IMUs and DoFs. Sensor Fusion. Kalman filters |
| Low-level ATMEGA overview | Mentar (not expert, just using it for the robot arm) | Bradley Wood | Timer0, 1, etc. Interrupt Pins, and writing ISRs, Hardware overview and onboard capabilities (i2c, spi, pwm, etc, etc). Interesting registers, how you might manipulate them, and why. Basically -- a synopsis of the ATMEGA328P data sheet in a nice digestable format. |
