this is a listing of the topics covered in the lecture videos in this directory: http://web.media.mit.edu/~geppetto/vids/ session2: introduction, notation, voltage, current, power, resistors, parallel resistors, series resistors, voltage divider. session3: capacitors, energy storage, low-pass filter, high-pass filter. session4: voltage regulators, power supplies, grounds session5: resistor and capacitor review (perhaps better than session2), inductors, band-pass filters, band-stop filters, diodes, voltage rectification (ac->dc). session6: wallwarts, powersupplies, multimeter usage, peak detectors, envelope detector, sample and hold, switches, circuit protection, zener diodes, leds session7: scope probes, opamps introduction, opamp gain circuits, opamp filter circuits, schematics, circuit boards, reverse engineering session8: example pcb, opamp biasing, resistive sensors, resistive sensor opamp circuits, resistive temperature, force, and light sensors. session9: comparators, pwm, schmitt trigger, input impedance, output impedance, capactive sensing, electret microphone. session10: wheatstone bridge, bridge amplifiers, strain guages, force sensitive resistors. (i think this video is out of order, and should be before session9) session11: led resistor calculation, capactive sensors, opamp oscillator, active peak detection, integrator, summing amplifier, piezo sensors, thermocouple, solar cells, rotary encoder, peltier junction. session12: electronic supliers, electronic prototyping techniques, pcb manufacture, photo detectors, tagged sources, syncrhonous demodulation, higher order opamp filters, noise rejection. session13: selecting components, reading datasheets, opamp limitations.
