We have three sources of information:
- The experimental instructions which you have to get from target copy; don't buy the old ones, I completely rewrote the instructions.
- A student manual which you can download from the web. I will give you the address in class.
- The textbook: Practical Electronics for Inventors
The experimental instructions contain the minimal reading assignments. The reading assignments are kept fairly minimal but the text book
and the student manual provide a lot more information; take advantage of it.
