Electronics and power design training in Zambia
PCB design, switch-mode power supplies, troubleshooting and repair — taught on the Zabble board we designed and manufacture in Zambia.
What you learn
Circuit design fundamentals, PCB design and layout, buck, boost and SMPS converters from 3.3 V to 48 V at up to 10 A, measurement with oscilloscopes and meters, systematic troubleshooting, and board-level repair.
The Zabble board
Training runs on Zabble, the STEM and industrial training board designed and manufactured by Travis Labs. Its fuse-protected, ESD-aware power fabric is published in Springer Nature's Discover Electronics, and it ships with a 272-page Embedded IoT Systems textbook written by our founder.
Other programmes
Thermal imaging and vibration analysis for predictive maintenance; solar and energy storage for telecom and critical infrastructure; embedded systems and coding.
Who teaches
Engineers who design boards for paying clients and export electronics to the United States — our founder is an EasyEDA certified instructor and a published researcher.
Questions we are asked
Do I get to keep the training kit?
Kit arrangements depend on the programme; ask when you book.
Is this suitable for someone repairing boards at work?
Yes — troubleshooting and repair are taught on real faulty boards, not only on theory.
Do you run courses for schools?
Yes. Zabble kits are in 57 schools; the schools programme runs through our ZStudy heritage.
