Introduction to Basic Circuits and the Arduino: An Approach from a Physics Perspective

This is a laboratory manual intended for physics majors to learn basic circuits and microcontrolling with the Arduino. The manual assumes the students know nothing about circuits at the beginning and progresses through Operational Amplifiers. The Arduino labs begin with an introduction and walk through basic sensors and motor control before ending with inter-board communication. The ultimate goal is that students should be able to design and build their own basic equipment by the end of the semester.
