What you can do on the bench
- Drag real parts onto the mat and wire them. A nodal solver (modified nodal analysis with Newton iteration) works out every voltage and current as the circuit runs.
- Parts behave like the real thing: resistors and wires heat up, fuses and breakers trip, LEDs and transistors burn out when they are overdriven, and batteries charge and drain at their real capacity.
- Measure with a multimeter, clamp meter, oscilloscope, function generator, LCR meter and electronic load.
- Program an ESP32 or Arduino in C++ and watch the code drive the circuit: GPIO, PWM, ADC, I²C, SPI, UART, interrupts, deep sleep, Wi-Fi and LTE.
- Design solar systems with solar charge controllers modelled on real products (EPEVER LandStar and Tracer, Renogy Wanderer, Victron SmartSolar), hybrid and grid-tie inverters, LiFePO4 and Li-ion packs with BMS boards.
- Build it for real: solder a perfboard by hand, then lay the circuit out on a printed circuit board, route copper traces on two layers with vias and a ground pour, check it with a design-rule check and run the board on the same solver.
- Wire a house: breakers, RCD, switches, outlets, junction boxes, energy meters and conductor sizing.
- Where it is switched on, ask the AI instructor to explain a circuit, check your wiring or build something for you.

- 1. Resistor and LED: the first circuit — Step 1 of the automatic light: B1 (9 V) → R1 470 Ω → LED1 → back to B1. I = (9 − 2) / 470 ≈ 15 mA: bright, and well inside the LED’s 20 mA.
- 2. Adding a switch — Step 2 of the automatic light: SW1 goes between B1 + and R1. Off: the LED is dark and no current flows.
- 3. Potentiometer: a dimmer — Step 3 of the automatic light: VR1 (10 k) between the switch and R1. Knob at 0: about 15 mA. Knob at the far end: 10.47 k in total, under 1 mA, a dim glow.
- 4. Diode: reverse-polarity protection — Step 4 of the automatic light: D1 in the + line right after the battery. The LED gets 0.7 V less (a little dimmer); connect B1 backwards and the circuit simply stays dark, no damage.
- 5. Capacitor: a soft fade-out — Step 5 of the automatic light: C1 1000 µF across the supply after the switch. Switch off and the LED fades over a second or so instead of snapping off: C1 empties through VR1, R1 and the LED.
- 6. LDR: sensing light — Step 6 of the automatic light: R2 47 k from the supply to SENSE, LDR1 from SENSE to ground. Bright: the LDR is low, SENSE is low (well under 1 V). Dark: the LDR is high, SENSE rises to several volts. Nothing uses SENSE yet: measure it.
- 7. Transistor: the light switches itself — Step 7 of the automatic light: LED1 now goes to Q1’s collector instead of ground; SENSE drives the base through R3 10 k. Daylight: SENSE is low, Q1 is off, the LED is dark. Dusk: SENSE rises, Q1 conducts, the LED comes on by itself. Note how it fades in gradually at dusk: the transistor is half on. Lesson 9 fixes that.
- 8. Voltage regulator: a 12 V supply and a steady 5 V — Step 8 of the automatic light: The build outgrows a 9 V battery, so it moves to a 12 V adapter (D1 still guards it). U1 7805 gives 5 V for the light sensor, so the dusk level no longer drifts with the supply. R1 becomes 680 Ω for the higher voltage, and D1 becomes an SR560 Schottky (5 A, 150 A surge, about 0.4 V drop): the adapter can push tens of amps into C1 for an instant at switch-on, past a 1N4007’s 30 A surge rating, the lamp will draw 0.75 A later, and every volt lost in D1 is light lost in the lamp.
- 9. Comparator: a clean decision at dusk — Step 9 of the automatic light: VR1 gets a new job: it sets the dusk level on IN1− (the dimmer is gone; the LED becomes the “lamp on” indicator with R1 1 k). SENSE goes to IN1+. R4 pulls the output up to 5 V, R3 2.2 k drives Q1 hard, and R5 1 M from the output back to SENSE adds hysteresis: once on, it needs a bit more light to turn off.
- 10. Relay: switching a real lamp — Step 10 of the automatic light: K1’s coil sits where the LED was, between + and Q1; D2 across it. Its contacts switch a 12 V 9 W LED lamp straight from the supply. LED1 stays as the indicator next to the coil.
- 11. PIR sensor: only when someone is there — Step 11 of the automatic light: Q2 goes in series below Q1, its base driven by the PIR output. Now both must be on: dark (Q1) AND movement (Q2). The lamp lights only when someone walks by at night.
- 12. 555 timer: stay on after they pass — Step 12 of the automatic light: The PIR now drives Q2 as an inverter, pulling TRIG low while it sees movement (R8 keeps TRIG high otherwise). U3’s output drives Q3, which replaces Q2 in the AND below Q1. R9 100 k × C4 100 µF × 1.1 = 11 s: the lamp stays on 11 s after the trigger, much longer than the PIR’s own hold.
- 13. Buzzer: an alarm mode — Step 13 of the automatic light: Q4, driven from the same 555 output, switches BZ1 through SW2 (alarm on/off). With the alarm on, whoever trips the PIR at night gets light and a beep for the whole 11 s.
- 14. Solar: the light runs off-grid — Step 14 of the automatic light: The adapter is replaced by PV1 (20 W) → U5 charge controller → BAT1 12 Ah, and the light runs from the controller’s LOAD output through D1 and SW1 as before. A 9 W lamp for a total of a couple of hours of motion a night is a few Wh; one sunny day of a 20 W panel is about 80 Wh.

Anyone can publish a circuit from the lab with a public link, an embed code for a blog or course page, and a key to update it later. Browse what others built at /projects, open a project, run it and make your own copy. The lab also imports Wokwi projects (diagram.json and the sketch) and runs the same circuit with real part limits: currents, heat, batteries.
