The objective of this course is to develop basic skills to understand common electronic circuits. It is split into several sections, each with a focus on a different aspect of programming with Python. The sections are:

.. rst-class:: strong-references

  * :ref:`ele_introduction_to_electronics`: An introduction to the most important fundamental principles of electrical engineering.
  * :ref:`ele_basic_examples`: Common electronic circuits.
  * :ref:`ele_references`: Links to online resources and frequently used information, etc.

     | read | watch | * The voltage across the two wires of an LED is not proportional to the current flowing through it.                     |
     |      |       | * One important parameter of an LED is its maximum forward current: exceeding this current will irreversibly damage it. |
     |      |       | * The easiest way to limit the forward current is to use a series resistor.                                             |
