Additionally, you have access to the TIW makerspace 3D printers and laser cutters (free training required) to design and print your own wheels and hubs. Now let’s look at the drive system. In this article, we’ll be looking specifically at two wheeled drive. With two wheels, you’re pretty limited in how you can drive. Typically, a robot with two wheels has the wheels on the sides, like below. The red regions are where you can put the wheel axles. diff --git a/docs/_sections/_guide-supplementals/scopes.md b/docs/_sections/_guide-supplementals/scopes.md index c0cf6cfe..99f5f448 100644 --- a/docs/_sections/_guide-supplementals/scopes.md +++ b/docs/_sections/_guide-supplementals/scopes.md @@ -5,18 +5,16 @@ nav_include: true # parent: Resources nav_order: 1 --- - + # To Debug or not to Debug? Debugging with Oscilloscopes and Other Tools Effective debugging is an important skill when working with electronic circuits, whether on a breadboard, PCB, or in a system. One of best tools for debugging is the oscilloscope, aka scope, which allows us to visualize transient behavior of electrical signals. Additionally, multimeters, logic analyzers, and signal generators play crucial roles in the debugging process. oscilloscope.jpg -{: .highlight} -If you do not have an oscilloscope available to you, check out a **multimeter**, they do about the same thing and are much easier to use, just connect the positive/ negative terminal across the component you want to measure! +If you do not have an oscilloscope available to you, check out a **multimeter**. They do about the same thing and are much easier to use but provide less data. If you want to measure voltage, set the multimeter into voltimeter mode and connect the positive/negative leads across the component you want to measure! Measuring current is a different process because you will need to put the multimeter into ammeter mode and put it in series with the component you want to test. multimeter.jpg -[How to Use an Multimeter](https://www.electronicshub.org/how-to-use-a-multimeter/) -{: .callout-toby} +[How to Use a Multimeter](https://www.electronicshub.org/how-to-use-a-multimeter/) # Using an Oscilloscope to Debug Circuits To effectively debug with a scope, follow these steps.
