New online Electronic Circuits & Components course

One of the new additions to our site are our online courses. Many years ago, Matrix used to be a CD publisher for schools. First Geography, then Maths, Electronics and Embedded Programming. But then the Internet arrived and content like this became free, so we began to produce electronic learning resources.

However, many years of development went into our range of CDs and we are proud of what we achieved. We have decided to begin to make this content available for free to all on our website. To begin with we have released our Electronics Circuits & Components content, if it proves popular watch this space for more!

Hybrid vehicle training kit from Matrix  The Hybrid demonstrator includes a Hybrid engine, a battery and an Electronic Control Unit, several meters showing power flow between the units, a brake switch and a potentiometer mimicking the accelerator pedal. The ECU controls the system to show students how the power is routed in a hybrid depending on the State of Charge of the Battery, and to allow them to make measurements on the engine performance under different load conditions. The system can also be used to show the effects of regenerative braking. Two models are available: a bench top version and a panel mounted version.
