    This document provides guidelines for three tasks to be completed as part of an eSim Massive Blended Workshop. Task 1 involves simulating an astable multivibrator circuit using eSim and comparing the frequencies to a real circuit and calculations. Task 2 is creating a PCB layout in eSim and generating Gerber files. Task 3 optionally sends the Gerber files to a vendor to produce the circuit board. The document provides the necessary theory, hardware, procedures and guidance to complete the tasks.

    1 Tasks T2−ON = 0.693 R2 C1

    You have to carry out the following three tasks: where, T1−ON is the period of oscillation/blinking

    out the following steps:
    You are provided a kit with one each of the following: 1. Connect resistors as shown below (left), and

    2. 9V battery
    3. A wire to connect the board with the battery
    In addition, you are provided with 2 each of the fol-
    lowing resistors: 33 kΩ, 68 kΩ, 150 kΩ

    of a system during the design phase. Before solder-
    ing a circuit, the user can play around with various
    parameters and optimise its design. The final design
    can be used for manufacturing. Thus simulations
    save a lot of time, effort and money of the user.

    3.2 Astable Multivibrator

    3. To change the resistor values, do the following:


    remove the battery connection, change the re-
    sistors, and connect the battery again. Repeat
    and complete the readings for different combi-
    nations of resistor values as shown in the Table.
    If you have any queries on this hardware part, please
    post it on the FOSSEE forum.

    Astable Multivibrator that we have been discussing.

    6 Task 3: Making PCB/Circuit


    In this optional part, you can get a circuit made us-
    ing Gerber files you created in two ways. Amongst
    the many companies that you may contact for this
    purpose, we list a few for your convenience. This
    should not be taken as an endorsement, however.
    We also do not have any commercial interest in any
    of them.
    1. You can get the PCB made at your cost, buy
    components, and solder them by yourself. This
    is the cheaper of the two methods for a small

    order.
