What You’ll Master
Chapter 1: Technician Skills
Build your foundation with practical skills in digital multimeter operation, measuring voltage, resistance checks, DC current, breadboarding, and soldering techniques essential for every EOD electronics technician.
Chapter 2: Basic DC
Master voltage, current, resistance, and Ohm’s Law. Learn Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws, resistors in series and parallel, voltage dividers, current limiting, work and power calculations, capacitors, RC time constants, diodes, and the resistor color code chart.
Chapter 3: Firing Switches
Explore mechanical and improvised switching — normally open vs normally closed, latching and non-latching, poles and throws, relays, and collapsing circuits. Includes example circuits from simple push button to command wire relay and Colombian collar bomb configurations.
Chapter 4: Transistors
Master BJT (NPN/PNP), Darlington pairs, FETs (JFET and MOSFET), and Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs). Learn switching circuits, light and dark sensors, touch switches, pressure plates, and transistor-based firing circuits with over 30 example circuit case studies.
Chapter 5: Bombs with Brains
From 555 timers and decade counters to digital encoder/decoder ICs, logic gates, operational amplifiers, seven segment drivers, and microcontrollers (Arduino, PIC, Python). Understand the building blocks of complex electronic firing systems with dozens of real-world example circuits.
Chapter 6: Sensors and Radio Modules
Infrared (PIR and active IR), microwave, magnetic (reed switches and Hall effect), ultrasonic, light (LDR and LIDAR), and RF radio modules (CWC7, RFM23, NRF24L01, ESP8266/ESP32). Includes example circuits from Iraq Timer CEXC to Wi-Fi MAC devices and LoRa configurations.
