The Electronics & Robotics Bootcamp

The big picture and the basics in one go: what robotics is, how electricity behaves, the multimeter and breadboard, AC vs DC, switches, and the resistor–capacitor–inductor trio.

How loads combine, how computers count in binary, the six logic gates and their truth tables, two-way switching, and the transistor — the switch behind all of it.

Pick a board, install the IDE, and learn the anatomy of a sketch: setup(), loop(), pins, the serial monitor, blinking and fading LEDs, reading a potentiometer, plus data types and operators.

The big practical day: how sensors turn the world into data (LDR, IR, pull-ups, the line follower), then driving motors — PWM speed, H-bridges, servos, ultrasonic distance, and ESP32 Bluetooth.

The finishing day, pulling the theory together: power regulators and batteries, multitasking with millis() and PID control, and the three communication protocols — UART, SPI, and I2C — with the OLED and IMU.
