Maker Fast Track

Who this is for: Hobbyist/maker who finished Zero to First Circuits (or equivalent) and wants to build real things: motors, relays, timers, power.

What you'll be able to do: Switches loads with BJTs and MOSFETs, drives relays and motors safely, uses the 555 for timing and PWM, picks batteries and fuses.
