To complete basic projects in the book "Embedded Computing and Mechatronics with the PIC32 Microcontroller" (Lynch/Marchuk/Elwin, Newnes 2015), we recommend the following "kits":

Minimum Electronics Kit

  • a wire stripper
  • a digital voltmeter
  • 22 AWG solid hook-up wire, including black (ground), red, and at least one other color
  • a selection of 1/4 W through-hole resistors, but at least (these resistances)
  • a selection of capacitors (e.g., ceramic), but at least (these capacitances)
  • OSRAM SFH 310 NPN phototransistor
  • Kingbright WP7113SRC/DU red LED
  • etc., if anything else

I think we can collect together several of the items above into a digikey cart and share the cart, so people can get the cart with a single click.

Useful Optional Components

  • a portable oscilloscope and function generator, such as the nScope
  • a 16x2 LCD screen
  • etc., if anything else

The Brushed DC Motor Control Kit

  • a brushed DC motor that draws less than 1 A at stall when powered by 6 V, with an incremental encoder (as many counts per revolution as possible, preferably at least hundreds)
  • a battery pack to power the motor
  • the motor control board, consisting of a TI DRV8835 H-bridge chip, the MAX9918 current-sense amplifier, and a PICxxx? with quadrature encoder interface
  • an inertia bar to attach to the motor to vary its load
  • a motor mount to mount the motor securely to the table
  • etc., if anything else

Other Components Referenced or Used in the Book

These components can be sourced from various suppliers:
