Reviews of our Training

"Your courses are simply the best out there and have given me insight to how to help with this project. Thank You very much."
-Michael Myers, Longview, TX

"Armed with your information, last evening I was able to assemble the code to make an Uno read values from a Type-K thermocouple in Fahrenheit and output this information to a 16x2RGB LCD screen.

Cannot express the feeling I had when I saw something beyond Hello World!"
-Ken Quimby, Maumelle, AR

Required Hardware

Course Description

Could the best way to learn something just be to try?  In this series of lessons we throw you in the deep end and start every lesson by having you review an electrical schematic and answer some pointed questions - you'll probably get a bunch of them wrong - but that's ok - because then we walk through and dive into the schematic, hopefully bringing to light some of your lingering questions.

Length of Instruction: Each review is around 30 minutes to an hour

Import Notes:  These lessons are not formatted like our other courses and are a screen cast conversation between Mike Cheich (An instructor at PEA) and Chris Gammel (Electrical Engineer).
