Chapter 1 project ### Sharing a Mokxi project link Why a link that runs beats a photo, how to check a project works for a stranger before you send it, and how to put the link where people will click it. Practiced on a light sensor divider with readings for light and dark.

Three classic questions about a power supply, each answered on the bench, plus what to say when you do not know.

Any of them opens in the editor right away.

When you want the real thing, these kits have the parts. Have a kit already? ### Find your kit Pick the starter kit you own and run every lesson in its manual with the same parts on the same pins. See every kit Questions ## About Portfolio and interviews Is Portfolio and interviews free? Yes. All 6 lessons of Portfolio and interviews are free and run in your browser, with nothing to install and no parts to buy before you start. Do I need any parts? No. Every circuit is built on a simulated breadboard, and the simulator checks each step as you go. When you want to build it for real, the same parts and wiring work on a real bench. How long does Portfolio and interviews take? About 3 hours: 6 lessons in 3 chapters, each one a few short steps. Your progress is kept, so you can stop after any lesson and pick up where you left off. What will I build? Each chapter ends in a project that puts it together: Sharing a Mokxi project link and The technical interview. Where do I start? With "Choosing portfolio projects", and each lesson builds on the one before it. New to circuits? Electronics basics is the course that starts from zero.
