Introduction to Electronics (for Programmers, Makers, and Students)
A brief introduction to basic electronics concepts, intended for programmers, makers, and students that wish to quickly understand basic microprocessor based systems like the Arduino, mBed, and others. This brief introduction is presented as a Wiki, in the hopes that others may find it useful, and add their questions and answers to the discussion here.
This is a self-paced overview of basic electronics, intended to be a primer for learning basic microprocessor systems and the hardware terms and diagrams necessary for a basic understanding. Just use the Sidebar (on the right) to navigate the Wiki, or the "Next" link at the bottom of each page.
