@CG,

Great Idea, I think we can create some nice little cards with some simple reference material for beginners (like me) but there are a heap of standard electronic things like these cards we could use as well. Some ideas I propose.

Simple Transistor NPN switch (and Fet equiv)
Simple Transistor PNP switch (and Fet equiv)
Capacitor laws (parallel/series)
Kirchoffs law
Ohms law

I already did a memorable resistor color code chart. :)

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure that I can directly fix that.

Cards are available as images on CG website.

@CircuitGizmos

Any reason why you left out the 30%, 40% and 50% resistor tolerances?

A couple of useful cards there for me - a good reason to buy some more colour ink!

Thanks for posting these

Yes,

Thank you ROB, there are some good ones, I generally can read a resistor's value by memory of the codes but I find myself looking constantly at your "Mammary-able colour code chart" Just to make sure..

A suggestion or two, in the micromite pinouts use another colour for the 5V tolerant pins with a reference at the bottom and remove 5V from the descriptions of the pins.. I feel it will show more clarity and stop somebody ,"maybe" connecting 5V (power) directly to these pins..

The resistor values chart, I do not understand the reference to 10% and 20% as these are also 5 percent values, maybe call the tables E12 etc. The % is covered by the last colour ring.

Great effort... I was going to post the ascii chart but yours is better than what I could do..

Regards,

Mick

Good thinking. I changed to italic.

E12 is right, but calling it by that name isn't clear for a newbie. Nevertheless, if you want a "collection" of 6, 12, or 24 resistors (per decade), the simple chart helps.

Vasi: Let me know if the new pdf fixes this problem.

@CircuitGizmos

The new GizmoInfo cards are great as is your much earlier classic MM Basic Manual.

Can you confirm pin 30 is used as Card Detect on your CGMICROBOARD2. I have been able to write and read back to the micro SD card with pin 30 both in and out of the SD Card configuration.

Yes. And that would be a good thing for me to add to the card with the pinout. Thanks!

@Circuit Gizmos

The attached diagram of WW's little 170 board was created for my own use but if you can use it, please do so. I have a vector .pdf if you need to scale or alter.

I am also working on your microkit and microboard boards and Zonkers DIP-600-28 and also Grogsters Explore 64 in the same format and will forward when complete.

Cheers,
Doug.

... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it!

Panky - yeah, I'll need a better resolution for that.

Here is a very extensive Reference source fom TI.com

Analog Engineer�s Pocket Reference

It is a free PDF book.

Thanks Doug for sharing your 170 diagram. I've made a few attempts at keeping all those details under control in my creaking brain, but your design really works. Great stuff!
