There are minimal prerequisites to attend this class. No prior experience in electronics is needed, nor any experience with soldering or computers. It is important that novices to these are attend the first classes and to make use of office hours to ask questions before continuing into more advanced topics.

=== Materials ===
=== Materials ===
Components and tools will be made available for persons who wish to learn, but do not wish to keep their project after class completion. If parts are borrowed from the electronics space, it is asked that a donation be made, at your discretion, to the [[:Category:Electronics|Electronics Lab]] area host. Note that you will be required to return all components used for the class after the course is completed. Persons borrowing equipment will be required to pair with others doing the same, if enough persons are available.
Components will be group-purchased before each class to ensure proper components are bought, and to keep prices down. As such, the cost of materials can vary, depending on how many people are in class. While some materials are available in the electronics space, such assumptions should be taken with caution. You don't want to miss a class because the component you need isn't available!

==== Components ====
==== Components ====
The following components are required to build the CPU project. No components are "consumed" by this project, as long as it is built on a breadboard; so, if you so choose, you may reuse these components in future projects. A bulk-purchase option is given to students at the beginning of each class, which serves to reduce costs. The average cost, per-student, when bulk-purchasing all-new components is generally about $TBD.

=== Week 1 - Digital Electronics Fundamentals ===
=== Prep Session: Electronics Fundamentals ===
Prior to getting into the course syllabus, an hour-long session will be hosted for anyone who is new to electronics. Nothing needs to be purchased for this class, and there is no maximum for the number of people who may attend. It is not required for someone interested in this prep class to be registered for the following 8-Bit CPU course - it is open to all members every time it is offered.
This course is not required for members already experienced with electronics in order to be successful with the remaining courses in the class.
==== Topics ====
By way of introduction into digital electronics, the prep class will dive into certain fundamental knowledge that is necessary for work on any circuit. The following topics will be covered:
* Basic overview of common components and parts, where they are used, and how they work
* Basic overview of how circuits work (the [[Wikipedia:Hydraulic Analogy|Hydraulic Analogy]])
* [[Wikipedia:Alternating Current|Alternating-Current]] (AC) vs. [[Wikipedia:Direct Current|Direct-Current]] (DC)
* Different methods of powering circuits on a breadboard
* Building our first circuit - let there be light!
* [[Wikipedia:Kerckhoffs's principle|Kerckhoffs's Principle]] - AKA, how not to light your breadboard on fire
* Introduction to [[Wikipedia:Resistor|resistors]]
* Introduction to [[Wikipedia:Switch|switches]]

After the lesson, students will receive an [[File:Electronics_Cheat_Sheet.pdf|Electronics Cheat Sheet]] for their reference throughout the rest of the course.
==== After the Class ====
Office hours are held for up to an hour after the class concludes. This is an open-forum time period in which questions can be asked and answered. Optionally, students can also choose between these more-advanced topics, if they wish to learn more about the topics from the class' discussion:
* Ideal components vs. reality
* The physics behind how Diodes and Transistors work
* The wide, wide world of components, and choosing the right one for your circuit
* Different types of switches
* Different types of resistors
