1. 1 Alan Rux Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Massachusetts Lowell Campus Lecture 1 of 4 Analog Discovery Design Kit Analog Discovery Design Kit Mini Course Webinar

2. 2 Revolutionizing How Engineering Students Learn Analog Circuit Design

3. 3 Syllabus “ wire-by-numbers” Go To Lecture Do Experiments as in the Syllabus “ wire-by-numbers” three to six student in a Team one student, builds circuit, takes measurements, fills out lab notebooks others texts friends & look out into space one student learns hands-on

4. 4 Discovery Kit

5. 5 Basic Electronic Lab.

6. 6 the Analog Discovery Design Kit allow students to build and test a wide range of analog and digital circuits using their own PC without the need for any other special test equipment.

7. 7 Active learning – learning by doing helps engineering students understand the process of breaking down larger problems into smaller, more easily solved parts without losing the overall understanding of the complete system.

25. 25 Electrostatic Discharge Hazard Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. ESD can be caused by a buildup of static electricity by tribocharging, or by electrostatic induction.electrical shortdielectric breakdown

27. 27 Let’s Get Started ! Google “Analog Discovery Kit Digilent”

28. 28 Scroll down page to waveforms

29. 29 Mouse click on “Learn more”

30. 30 Click on

31. 31 Need about 38MBite HD space MS Security Essentials will not be happy

32. 32 Follow set-up wizard’s instructions

33. 33

34. 34

35. 35 If you see this, the Discovery kit is not plugged in to USB port

36. 36 Unit was detected “connect to device”

37. 37 You are now connected

38. 38 Download “a getting started guide for first time WaveForms users”

39. 39

40. 40 Experence the WaveForms software This can be done with or without the Discovery kit, use demo-mode

41. 41 D.C. Circuits Lab. Experiments Learning the ADK Leads (Analog Discovery Kit) Solder-less breadboard use Power Supply Operation Voltmeter Operation Series Circuits Measurements Superposition Theorem Homework problem

42. 42

43. 43 Time to take the ADK out of the box and connect to a USB port. Connect the Leads to ADK.

44. 44 The Leads are Keyed bottom view color wires with white stripe on bottom, also bottom has small feet pads

45. 45 Note keyway notch

46. 46 Keyway pin

47. 47 ADK top view with leads plugged in ( note solid color wires are on top)

48. 48 Leads are color coded

49. 49 Leads we will be using today

50. 50 To make things easer I use a rubber band to keep the leads I am not using out of the way Not used Leads in use

51. 51 Plug one end into the connector on the end of the leads from the ADK (may be using solid copper 24 awg. insulated wires for leads with ends striped )

52. 52 Now your lead from the ADK is longer and you can plug the PIN end into your solderless breadboard Time for Questions ?
