Week of Feb 4

We are starting the unit on programmable logic and get to finally play with the much-anticipated Programmable Logic Boards.  These are prototype boards that let you do the troubleshooting we've been doing on the breadboards mostly on the computer. You will design the circuits in Multisim and download directly to the PLD board.  Troubleshooting is as "simple" as making changes to Multisim and re-downloading.  <pause for groans to cease>  Make sure to watch the first video before Monday so that you are ready to dive right in to the boards and start working right away.  You will ultimitely recreate your date of birth circuits on the PLD.

Paying for college is expensive.  RRHS' PTSA is hosting an information session to help you (and/or your parents) pay for college without going broke.  Check out the link or visit the PTSA home page for more information.

This week has both WOW on Wednesday and Late Start on Thursday.  

Last desperate plea for Semi High Tech U.  This is an incredible opportunity for our you to explore the life of an engineer in a high-tech company and get good advice about how to best prepare yourself for a technical career.  The deadline for applications is this Wednesday  I will be glad to answer any questions or help you in any way that I can because I know you would enjoy the experience as well as learn from it.
