The Future of Essentials Learning Modules

With Essentials: Connectors II going live, comments on this new programme of learning modules have been echoing loudly in the element14 halls.

Thanks to your enthusiastic response to Connectors I. We've got big plans for Essentials, and naturally you're a significant part of them. We've been kicking a few ideas around for future Essentials learning modules with the Top Members, and now it's time to put them in front of you guys and get some feedback on topics before composing new modules.

At the minute we see Essentials as our 'learning technologies' modules; and later this year we will be launching Masterclasses, our 'how to' technology implementation modules - more on these later.

So make your voice heard and vote on your favourite option from the following subjects, then we will start planning all that delicious content. And don't worry if your top choice doesn't win; none of these potential topics are off the table. It's more about prioritisation .

Tick the Essentials topic you'd like to learn about most - technologies OR product categories - and feel free to make as many other suggestions as you like in the comments section below too!

We'll be deciding on the next Essentials subject in the next couple of weeks, so don't delay, vote today!

Transistors.
You'll need these at some time, so may as well get it over and done with early on.

If you put too much pressure on a BJT it might FET.

There's only one place where semiconductors can meet -- The Unijunction.

Did you know that robotic servicemen are called SCRs - Silicon Controlled Rectifiers.

Rolling holes and electrons gathers no MOS.

Q: What did the transistor caught in the rain say?
A: I'm saturated.

Q: Why is a current in a coil like a tractor?
A: They can both turn into a field.

Two electrons are drifting along a MOSFET channel. One says to the other "why are you are always so negative about things?"

[Shame on you COMPACT, you've now got me doing bad jokes too.]

Because I am depleted, drained and you forgot to close the gate!
What did the bystander electron say? - I'm Sourcy!

The potential of these jokes is terrible.
They have the resistance to incapacitate and condense into water.

Watt?

It's best to Q=IT whilst I'm ahead.

It's not an insult to call a transistor Dopey.

Q: What did the MOSFET say when it was told there was a charge for delivery?

A: Just leave it at the gate.

Next you will try to tell me that electrons move from atom to atom to conduct current in electronics.

Though I am clearly biased!
