I am revisiting my old class stuff that I made, and updating / expanding it a bit.
(files at the end of post)

Needs revision, but the basic frame is mostly there.

My intent is for the class to be an introduction to electronics stuff. Below is a summary of the current state of the project. There is a lot that isn’t finished, and the completion amount of different sections varies significantly.

Red text indicates files that have not been created. (those are not in the zip file)
Orange text indicates files that have been created but have negligible content.
Black text indicates file that have been created but may need to be revised on have content added.
Yellow text indicates file that have been created and are ready to be proofread.
Green text indicates file that have been created and have been finished and proofread. (lol)
