Date	Topic/Notes	Assignment Due (to be done before class starts on date listed at left)
07/02	Introduction	Schematic drawing of what you think is in an MP3 player. Sign up to be a "writer" of this wiki webspace by clicking on the link in the email you were sent or by click on the "to join this workspace, request access" link on the right. Read Johnny Lee's thought piece on the re-emergence of DIY vs. big organizations. Reading: Practical Electronics for Inventors (Scherz), Chapters 2.1-2.16 (Current to Kirchoff's Laws), 3.1-3.3, and 3.5.
07/09	Schematics, Microcontrollers	Product Dissection: Choose an interactive device that you enjoy using. You don't have to do a literal dissection, but figure out, as much as possible, how it works. Draw functional, mechanical, and electrical schematics of how it works. Dedicate at least a page to each schematic drawing. Also keep a list of things you have discovered and another list of unanswered questions from the dissection. Read the Arduino Foundations Page. We expect this to be confusing! Do not be worried, but do post questions to the class Piazza site.
07/16	Prototyping	Generate designs for a customized box using Adobe Illustrator or a CAD program (illustrator instructions, full instructions, starter files). Go to Room 36 and make your customized box using the laser cutter! (Let us know if the Room 36 license fee is a burden for you, and we'll try to help out.)
