Electrones en Acción: Electrónica y Arduinos para tus propios Inventos from Coursera

Este curso introduce al alumno a la electrónica y los Arduinos, comenzando desde lo más básico de un circuito eléctrico y finalizando con el diseño de circuitos de baja complejidad empleando dispositivos electrónicos programables. Durante el curso los alumnos aprenderán los fundamentos básicos de la electricidad y de la electrónica, conocerán los diferentes bloques empleados en el diseño de un circuito electrónico, aprenderán las bases del diseño de circuitos analógicos y digitales, y serán introducidos a la programación de estos últimos empleando la plataforma Arduino.

El curso apunta a estudiante de último año de educación escolar y primer año de educación universitaria, o cualquier otro alumno con suficiente motivación como para llevar a cabo sus propios experimentos y seguir aprendiendo en el futuro.

Si bien no es un requisito esencial, los alumnos que tengan nociones de cálculo diferencial e integral podrán entender mejor algunos tópicos específicos, que no son estrictamente necesarios para concluir el curso.

El curso incluye demostraciones de dispositivos electromecánicos sencillos controlados mediante un Arduino. Cada circuito demostrativo lleva asociado un diagrama de conexiones y un programa, ambos debidamente explicados, para facilitar que sean replicados por los alumnos empleando la plataforma Arduino.
