There have been several big developments in our projects that I would like to make our followers aware. First, Jorel has placed schematics and documentation on his LED board. Checkout the repo to see all the glorious ASCII Art in his documentation. Second, I have placed a basic tutorial for circuit theory, and a modified copy of Paul Falstad's Analog Circuit Simulator under the CIRCUITS_TUTORIAL folder in the repo. You can use these to test general circuits and learn some mathematical and conceptual theory about circuits.
Finally is some major development in general project direction. We are going to focus heavily on creating practical projects, both small and large, and teach the relevant theory within the scope of projects. This means we will largely be diverging from the format of a typical textbook for our circuit theory, which I am okay with. After this first basic tutorial was completed, no matter how good it is at instilling conceptual information, I did not feel it was adequate and I think that learning purely through practical examples is a better medium for learning, or certainly a viable alternative to a traditional text. This is all in line with our original set goals, but I feel this implementation is much better. After all, we are not going to introduce students to electronics better by making a traditional text, just because it's free. So, with that in mind, look forward to some cool projects and designs which we will be churning out.
