ML-Assisted Basics of Electronics for ALL (ML-Electronics)

By Ali Jaberi and M. B. Ghaznavi-Ghoushchi.

Version 2023.01

A Full open-source/Full with Python/ interactive course for all who like to know "What is electronics?" from scratch to basic applications. This is the repo of ML-Assisted Basics of Electronics for ALL project. It brings ALL of Basic Electronics into browser via Python jupyter including examples, plots, equations, simulations and narration. The narrations of text is generated via ML tools.

This project is based on:

1. Python
2. Jupyter notebook and run-able on Google colab
3. schemdraw library
4. PySpice simulation wrapper
5. ElevenLabs.io (ML generated human voices for whole the project)
6. Good learning resources
7. ... and days and hours of hard work

Course contents:

1. Basics of physics for semiconductors
2. Basics of circuit theory
3. Diode theory and circuits
4. Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
5. Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOS)
6. How to install and use required tools/libraries
7. Project Codes All-In-One (AIO)

Main features:

ALL Circuits are drawn via Python in Jypyter

ALL the schematics of the circuits are reproduced utilizing schemdraw python library.

Circuit simulation utilizing PySpice

ALL the simulations of the circuits are performed utilizing PySpice python library.

Interactive features in circuit draw and simulation

ALL the interactive features in circuit re-draw and parameter modifications are implemented utilizing ipywidgets python library.

ML-assisted text narration

ALL the course text materials are narrated by ML-assisted ElevenLabs.io.

Circuit explanation utilizing LaTeX

ALL the interactive features in circuit re-draw and parameter modifications are implemented utilizing $LaTeX$

All in one bunch of codes, figures, audio, etc.

ALL of codes, figures, ipynb, docx are ready to download and re-use under the copyright notice verbatim.

Unique "Spoon" style of Jupyter Python coding

We followed stand-alone coding for each example just like insert your spoon in Dessert and eat each section without need to run its upper or lower jupyter cells which usually you see in the most of jupyter notebooks samples. This enables reader to look at each example as a fully separated and functional code.

Fully open-source course

The project is totally open-source in hope of help to extended ease of understating for "Basics of Electronics".

Contents are in Compliance with "Basics of Electronic Circuits - Electronics I"

The contents of this project are ready to use for second year undergraduate courses like:

1. Basics of Electronics
2. Electronics I
3. Electronic Circuit Theory.
