Breadboard Companion is a company that designs electronic kits for educational purposes.  This page provides access to the printed materials we provide with our kits.


Projects/Educational:

1.  Several project ideas for a PLD (programmable Logic Device).  These projects demonstrate how to use a PLD in digital electronics.  This document tells you what materials you need and where to get them, how to program a PLD, and gives many combinational and sequential logic projects that can be done with a PLD.  This document gives the equations needed for each project and includes a suggested final project that can be given to students.  These projects are intended to complement the PLD Companion prototyping board.

2.  Theoretical basics of electricity.  One of the original purposes of the Breadboard Companion power supply kit was to provide a meaningful platfrom for teaching electrical theory in a course on digital electronics.  The Breadboard Companion power supply kit is an example of a digital interface with the real world.  This document connects the 'analog' with the 'digital' through the Breadboard Companion.  Topics include current flow, RC time constant, and the 555 timer.  The theory is intended to complement the BBCIII power supply kit.

3.  Tips on Soldering.  This document gives a few pointers for those who have never soldered before.
