About the course

What you’ll learn

Enough electronics to build IoT and hardware projects with confidence. Understand voltage, current and Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, LEDs, transistors and capacitors, then microcontrollers like Arduino and ESP32: GPIO, analog inputs, PWM and the I2C, SPI and UART buses that connect sensors. Every formula is checked in Python. Pass every lesson quiz and the final exam to earn a verifiable certificate.

1. Electronics essentials

Calculate simple circuits, choose components and connect sensors to a microcontroller.

1
Voltage, Current and Ohm's Law
12 min · Voltage pushes, current flows, resistance resists.
2
Series, Parallel and Voltage Dividers
10 min · Series: same current, resistances add.
3
LEDs, Diodes, Transistors and Capacitors
12 min · Diodes conduct one way (~0.7 V drop); LEDs need the long leg to positive.
4
Microcontrollers: GPIO, ADC and PWM
12 min · A microcontroller is a one-chip computer running one program.
5
Sensors, Buses and Power
10 min · Sensors give analog voltages, digital levels or bus data.
