Analog Circuit Prototyping
Analog Circuit Prototyping
Designed and prototyped a series of foundational analog and mixed-signal circuits to develop practical electronics fluency, including transistor switching circuits, 555 timer oscillators (astable, monostable, bistable), RC timing networks, and an LM358 electret microphone preamplifier. The work focused on schematic interpretation, signal behavior, gain and feedback tuning, and hands-on debugging using oscilloscopes, function generators, and multimeters, followed by soldered prototype board assembly.

Prototypes
Building an analog circuit to flash an LED. Both capacitors are getting filled and then the transistors are switching the direction of them to make it flash. T=RC so you can adjust capacity or resistance to change blinking speed.

Note to Self: Transistors, and any component, can blow up and there is no visual feedback
