I also wish i had the time to do this...  :undecided: a levels in physics maths and chemistry also, inc degree in computer science. Although I doubt any of it would help me on this... would always be good to try pick up some basics and learn something new!!

would be good if they had a catch up section before you start the course.

To be honest having tried the first section I think it would be right up your street.

It's not just electronics, but the digital side to it as well. Like the digital 0 1 code used to make machine language etc.

I remember really enjoying this side of things at uni, espcially looking into the workings of early computers that just used a single tape!

Also enjoyed having to create a binary calculator from scratch... didnt have a clue about electronics when I started out, but really enjoyed the assignment!!! (didnt really have much of a clue afterwards either if im honest  :grin:)

Sounds good I did a bit of work with with programming pic arm7 processors in c language, interesting to see if assembly code is on there even though I imagine it no longer has a function due to the output modern processors have.

Might have to enroll tonight, is it like open university in terms of you have your own pace or is a pace set with deadlines.

You have homework that has to be and assignments, also a midterm and end of term exam  :smiley:

Looks good so far, really enjoyed what I've done and seen in the course.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
