Electronics Benchtop

The IDC contains a suite of electronics benchtop equipment available to all end users.

Each standard station includes an:

• Oscilloscope
• Function generator
• Multimeter
• Power supply
• Soldering station, complete with a soldering iron and desoldering tool.

When you check out a station, you gain access to drawers with additional hand tools, such as tweezers, wire cutters, and screw drivers, to help you in your project.

Beginner guides on to use each piece of equipment are listed below:

• Oscilloscope guide
• Function generator guide
• Multimeter guide
• Power supply guide (Planned)
• Soldering guide (Planned)

In addition we also have video demos listed for all of these different pieces of equipment found here:

• Intro To Electronics Prototyping

  This video introduces breadboards, multi-meters, and other tools needed to start prototyping electronics.

• Intro To Soldering

  Here we talk about what soldering is, the basics of the soldering iron and solder, and how to do through hole soldering.

• Waveform Generator

  Stevie shows you how to use the Waveform Generator found on most benches.

• DMM and Power Supply

  Stevie shows you how to use the DC power supply and Digital multi meter located on most of the benches.

• Oscilloscope How-To

  In this video, Stevie shows you how to use the oscilloscope, a tool that tells you voltage over time at a sample rate of 5 billion times a second.
