RESOURCES (PDFs)

RESOURCE DESIGNED BY CRAIG JEFFERIES
Level 1 Electronics Technology Workbook:

An excellent resource made for Level 1, High School NCEA credits, but suitable for intermediate students with teacher guidance. 
​It covers the central concepts of  Electricity, Electronics and Picaxe Programming.
It includes basic Picaxe Electronic Circuits and the relevant Picaxe Basic Code. A great place to start the learning journey
and a simple reference document also.
