What is it?

Digital Fundamentals is an online course which is delivered over the Internet. The course provides participants with an understanding of the language and techniques of Digital Fundamentals in comparison to analog systems. Practical skills are developed through the assembly of simple circuits with basic gates, and verifying their operation according to the Data Sheets provided by the manufacturer. This is done using a logic trainer with prototype board and a logic probe, and a multimeter to take measurements of logic levels. (Digital Fundamentals is the equivalent of Digital Basics.)
