resistors, a capacitor, some wires and some BNC adaptors. A plug-in circuit board (\breadboard") that can be used to wire up test circuits. BNC cables. You will need a few of these. There are a variety of lengths available on racks attached to the back side of the mobile whiteboard. Let’s get started by looking at some function generator ...
