As a total noob what can I do with this and where should I start
- pkaye 7y agoIt gives the following very basic pieces of equipment for doing hardware development. However this is quite low end and will have lots of limitations. A high end logic analyzer could be $50k for example. USB Oscilloscope - observe an analog output waveform Signal Generator - supply an input waveform Power Supply - power the device Logic Analyzer - observe digital signals Multimeter - get average voltages
- analog31 7y agoThis is going to sound really basic, but a good start might be just to reproducibly generate and measure some signals: DC, AC, etc. Make an LED blink. Measure the voltage across the LED as a function of time. Get used to seeing a graph of voltage versus time, and interpreting it. Hook it up to a microphone and talk to it. Measure the headphone output of your PC. This is all about just learning to think in terms of signals (static and as a function of time) and how they are measured. Try to predict what's going to happen, and see what you get.
- rramadass 7y agoYou learn hands-on Electronics (and Embedded Systems) using these types of equipment. If you can afford it i would suggest Digilent's "Analog Discovery 2" (https://store.digilentinc.com/usb-scopes-instruments-circuits/ https://store.digilentinc.com/usb-scopes-instruments-circuit...) Digilent has lots of online course material (https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/instrumentation/analog-discovery-2/start?redirect=1 https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/instrumentation/...) which you can follow-along to learn Electronics.
