Welcome to mechatronics.studio!
What is mechatronics you ask? Mechatronics is a field of engineering that sits at the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and computing. Robots, cars, even your refrigerator are modern marvels of mechatronics engineering.
This website is dedicated to all things mechatronics with the intention to help teach YOU how to build things!
This site is like a virtual textbook, with a blend of written and pictorial content to help make concepts as clear as possible. I assume you come with ZERO knowledge and build concepts from the ground up, steadily increasing in complexity.
This site is broken up into five main sections (check out the main navigation bar), each corresponding to a major area in mechatronics:
Mechanics
In this area, we explore the dynamic world of mechanics. Forces, torques, mechanisms, gears, fluid dynamics and more!
Electronics
In this area, we explore the lively world of electronics. Resistors, capacitors, motors, magnets, electric fields, printed circuit board design, component selection, and more!
Coding
In this area, we explore how to learn and use ANY programming language. Whether C, C++, Matlab, Python, and more, all of these programming languages share fundamentals that once learned allow you to code in any language.
Mathematics
In this area, we explore the wondrous world of mathematics. Vectors, integrals, differential equations, and more. Here, we will also explore control algorithms, machine vision, and even artificial intelligence.
Projects
In this area, we make actual things! Robots, actuators, and more. From proof of concept to final product, see the process in action!
Do I have to SUBSCRIBE!?
No, you don't, but your support is highly appreciated. The knowledge I share (and the equipment used) has been acquired over more than a decade at great personal cost and sacrifice.
As a virtual textbook on all things mechatronics, I hope you can support me and my endeavors by subscribing.
If you have a specific topic you'd like me to write about, shoot me an email at questions.mechatronics.studio@gmail.com.
General Safety Warning
I hope to spread joy and creativity through mechatronics, but many hazards are involved (electricity, sharp edges, blunt force, pinch points, etc.). You must take responsibility for keeping yourself and those around you safe (and to protect your own property). Please be sure to review the terms and conditions (which you agree to by using this website).
Happy learning!
