Description

Welcome to first course of autoronics services. We would to like share our knowledge in automotive in the form of videos. As a first step we wanted to trigger a course of basic to automotive electronics. The course "Basics of Automotive Electronics" talks mainly about electronics sensors, control units, actuators and main electronic components in Automotive. This course mainly will help to those who wanted to begin their career in Automotive electronics.

We will discuss mainly about

Evaluation of Automotive - history of remarkable milestones

Trend of Electronic components in the vehicle - With the statistics

Domains in the Automotive - Mainly the five different domains

Electrical and Electronic system architecture - At a higher level

Sensors - Frequently used in Automotive

Actuators - Useful demonstrations

Harness - What it is ?

CAN protocol-Communication medium in Automotive
