Q: 1. What real-world tools and components will I need to complete the labs?

You’ll need a PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit to interface with the motors and sensors used in lab exercises. Required components include standard electronic parts like transistors, resistors, diodes, and AA batteries—all readily available from suppliers like DigiKey. A breadboard and various gauge wires are essential for setting up motor circuits. An oscilloscope (USB-based like PicoScope 2204A-D2 or OpenScope MZ, or budget models) is required for capturing and analyzing motor voltage/current. Hands-on kit delivery time should be considered—ensure you order hardware early to keep pace with course deadlines.
