Basic electronics for Arduino Makers (Udemy.com)

Je suis très satisfait de ce cours sur les bases de l'électronique pour Makers. L'instructeur enseigne de façon progressive et très intéressante et les exercices sont là pour mettre de la pratique en suivant le cours dédié. La pratique sur plaque d'essai est aussi intéressante dans chaque élément étudié. Les vidéos sont très nettes, les vues sont parfaites, l'instructeur parle à un rythme aidant l'apprentissage (clic droit pour moi en traduisant en français), la documentation est complète. Je vais suivre le prochain cours sur les bases d'Arduino étape par étape. Un grand merci à Monsieur Dalmaris pour proposer des cours aussi qualitatifs qu'intéressant.

It is a good course. Still I have some remarks regarding the way of solving the problems in Physics: at the beginning of every Physics book, there is a chapter about how many significant digits there are in the calculation, there is a way when to round up, when to round down, calculating with the Kirchhof's voltage principle needs usually more things to consider, like direction to walk through the the loop, assumption about the direction of the current in the parts of your loop, direction according the polarity of energy sources, I think, it would have been even better, if Professor Peter has also written the units (V, A, Ohm etc.) after the values. The last chapter is not quite helpful, as long as there is no explanation of what these voltage regulators actually are, are they transistors or diodes, for example. On the other hand, the explanations are concise and easy to understand, so it was interesting.

he is very clear about his explaining the description of the pieces (diodes, resisters, etc) and he talks at good pace tone. Only thing so far (40% thru) is the actual physical circuit setup isnt always clear and i have to do a little trial and error to get wires and resistors etc in the right places. Other thing that would be nice is maybe examples of where and why they are used in real circuits/electronics; that would have been really cool.

A lot of of good information is introduced here. This course is a good starting point, as it covers many important aspects of electronics. However, if you want to really learn the minute details behind most of the topics, you are going to have to look things up. That's not a bad thing because, in my opinion, this course works at the right kind of pace. You aren't bogged down in the details unless you choose to go digging.

Excellent course! I'm planning on joining the Arduino world, but I had really poor knowledge of electronics. So, before getting deep into the Arduino itself, I wanted to learn a bit more about electronics in general in order to fulfill this gap. During my search, I found this course which is basic electronics for Arduino. I didn't hesitate and bought it right away! Now, at the end of it, I can assure that every penny was worth it. I look forward to the next courses. The only issue I had so was that my math skills were a bit rusty, so I spent a little more time doing calculations than a recently graduated high school student. haha

Having worked as a Field Engineer for 45 years and being retired for 5 years it was great getting back the basics, the theoretical knowledge from 50 years ago when I started out. I am also enrolled in Dr. Peter Dalmaris's Arduino 2017 course and I am looking forward to applying much of what I have learned in this course! Dr. Dalmaris did an excellent job in teaching this course. I especially enjoyed his lectures. Mr. Gerald Goyette

I took this course as a software developer to broaden my knowledge of electronics. During my faculty days, long time ago, I found that I do get electrotechnics and electronics, but having your own electronics lab was expensive and software simulators were not yet available. This course was exactly what I needed: to refresh very basic Ohm's Law and kirchhoff's Laws and implement them in breadboard examples. Lots of pen and paper exercises as well as lots of hands on examples with real electrical current (yup, I burned couple of LE diodes :) ). Can't wait to see how can I apply all this in Arduino and actual coding as programming is my field of expertise.

Good course overall. Concepts between voltage and current are not explained clearly. For example, what a voltage drop is and why is there a voltage drop? What does it actually mean physically to have a voltage drop by a component in a circuit. These are concepts that I would have loved to know and understand prior to getting into more advanced concepts and formulas. Lesson 19. Give your values so that we may have an idea of which of (I)L or (I)T is bigger. For example, I get (I)T smaller than (I)L.. Lesson 21. Rt = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3) is not demonstrated.

I am very happy so far, the only issue I have is with the parts ordering form and I am waiting for a clarification on that. my instructor was not able to resolve my parts ordering problem,so I worked around it by ordering directly from Amazon. com. Secondly I am still having a problem with a parallel resistor quiz and it's solution in lesson 14 and a parallel resistor problem in quiz 8. this because I don't fully under stand the solution in lesson 14. I have requested help from the instructor but he hasn't respond yet. Otherwise the course is going well.

I decided to take this course first before going through the "Arduino: Step by Step" course by the same author, so that I can have a good grasp of the fundamentals. I have zero experience in electronics and I might say that this course is good, however, for someone who have zero knowledge in electronics (and haven't practiced Math in a while), the unit of measures can somehow get confusing because they weren't comprehensively explained and somehow used inconsistently throughout the examples. The quizzes are good, they are challenging in a good way, at least for me who have zero background in this field. :)
