Welcome to ELEX 2117.  Our first lecture will be on Thursday, January 5.  

Labs will begin the week of January 9.  Parts kits for the labs will be available for purchase from the BCIT bookstore for $6.95.  These are only available to students registered in the course -- you will need to ask for the "ELEX 2117 Parts Kit" at the front counter and show ID.   You will also need some components from your Level 1 parts kit (the EPM240 CPLD board, USB-Blaster, Dupont/Berg jumper wires, and some space on your breadboard).

Policy on Headphones/Earphones/Earplugs/etc in ELEX 2117 Labs

2023-01-26

Students may use headphones, earphones, hearing protection, etc. only after the first 15 minutes of ELEX 2117 lab sessions.  Any sounds played through these devices must be at a level that does not disturb others.  

This will allow the instructor to make announcements and give instructions to all students while accommodating those who work best when they can control what they hear.

Marks Password Changes

2023-01-28

I had to assign some students a new password, if your marks retrieval password is not working, retrieve the new password and try again.
