This class is a series of lectures and demonstrations focused on the technical criteria for design and fabrication of electronic circuits for ITP student projects. For example, when designing an analog audio circuit or an analog sensing circuit, a ground plane is needed to reduce electrical noise. When designing radio circuits, the physical geometry and location of the antenna on the circuit board matters. The class would introduce some common technical design considerations for electronic devices, and also explore some more experimental cases of circuit design, like flexible circuits, printing circuits, or preparing circuits on a fabric substrate. Students will be encouraged to engage in discussion of how to apply these concepts to their project work. Prerequisite: Students coming to the class should understand the electronics concepts covered in Basic Analog Circuits, or have equivalent electronics experience. The Energy Class (Jeff\’s), Homemade Hardware (Andy\’s), Prototyping Electronic Devices (Deqing and Peiqi\’s), or electronics experience prior to ITP would suffice. Mo 3:20pm – 6:15pm (10/29 – 12/03)
