Document Summary

To learn how to use the oscilloscope, function generator, breadboard, and potentiometer. To learn how to use the arduino microcontroller board. The oscilloscope and function generator are useful tools for making measurements and debugging machines. Potentiometers are common circuit elements to control voltages and measure rotations. is useful. The arduino board is a very useful microcontroller that provides an easy setup to control electromechanical systems. Note: when making electrical circuits in lab, a mistake in wiring may result in a component getting fried. If you smell something burning, immediately turn off your power supply and debug your circuit. Part i: the oscilloscope and function generator (45 min. ) When you a building device, sometimes you want to be able to apply certain input voltages to them. A function generator is a device that produces voltage waveforms such as sine, square, and triangle waves, all with variable amplitude, frequency, and offset.
