  1. Mini Sumo Electronics Tutorial F10

  2. outLINE • Quick Intro to Circuit Theory • Board Overview • Components and Soldering • Testing and Debugging • General Advice

  3. Resistors • Governed by Ohm’s Law • Nice and simple • Used as current limit, or to drop/lower voltages

  4. Capacitors/Inductors • Capacitors • Inductors Hey Look! Calculus...?

  5. cap/inductorNOTES • Fun fact, you can get rid of the derivatives! • You will hear the word “impedance” thrown around. • Basically, we consider everything with reference to frequency rather than time (huh?). • You will see this applied without explanation in 1st year, and then explained in 2nd. • You will spend ~two years studying the previous slide(s), so don’t worry if it seemed frightening.

  6. Diodes & LEDs • Only conduct in one direction. That of the “arrow”. • For our purposes, “turn on” when the “arrow” is more positive than the “line”. • LEDs (= Light Emitting Diodes), emit well...light.

  7. boardOVERVIEW • Custom 2 layer design, updated this Summer • Based around Atmel’s ATMega168 AVR microprocessor • We use two separate power supplies, one 6V (4xAA) and one 9V.

  11. solderingTIPS • Iron temp is usually set to ~70-75 • Make sure you wipe the iron tip on the wet sponge every time you solder something • Components should be flush to the board • Demos will be done in the lab. • Ask us for help if you need it. Hint: You will.

  12. moreHELP • You CAN destroy components and/or parts of the board • You ARE easily burned. Be careful. • Highly recommended set of tutorials + videos: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=96

  13. testandDEBUG • The schematic and BOM are on our website. This presentation will be on our website. • You should check our website. • It probably won’t work the first time you turn it on. This is normal.

  14. thereFORE • Test allpower inputs before soldering chips onto the boards. • Flux remover is your best friend. Flux is a flowing liquid residue from soldering. It’s conductive. Enough said. • Pay close attention to component polarity where applicable. This is how chips explode.

  15. generalADVICE • Divide up tasks. Work concurrently. • You don’t need the lab to program or sketch drawings. • It’s on YOU to ensure work gets done. • Remember to allocate time for testing. Very few things in engineering work the first time. Especially robots.

  16. questions? • Feel free to ask me or any one else in the lab for help • If you’re curious about what a particular circuit does, ask me and I’ll do my best to explain it

  17. buildTIME • Starts now. • TWOof you per team (max.) should come with me to the soldering session. • You also have software to write and a chassis to design and build
