With a good start provided by interested anddedicated teachers, student accomplishments are limited only by their imagination. Since theMobile Studio provides a portable lab facility, students can apply the tools they use in theclassroom in their personal projects. The most obvious examples involve tinkering with cars(e.g., finding security system workarounds for someone building a car from an early 90’s GMdrivetrain) and robotics (e.g., adding a real electrical engineering component to a project for arobotics competition). Less obvious are the kinds of student

Measure component values – students measure the resistances of all their resistors to verify that they have all the resistors they are supposed to in their packs, and also measure the voltage of their batteries to make sure they are still good. Students seemed surprised to learn that a brand-new 9V battery typically had a voltage of 9.5-9.6 V rather than 9.0 V.2. Ohm’s law – Students connect a 1k resistor in series with the 9V battery and measure voltage across the resistor. Then they measure the current through the resistor, and knowing the value of the resistor, use Ohm’s law to verify that

This text encourages the use of a cooperative multi-tasking environ-ment, which is inherently single-threaded, for many embedded designs. It provides excellentlow-power capabilities; when the event queue is empty, the processor can be put to sleep until an Page 24.1216.6interrupt generates an event for the state machine(s) to

One of the difficulties in developing a project for students is finding a device or systemthat will inspire interest and reward successful completion of the objectives. A Theremin is anideal project because of the adaptability of the circuits and the resultant instrument is a uniquedemonstration piece.
