If you are new to using an oscilloscope, this is the right guide for you. We talk about how to use an oscilloscope for beginners. In the end, you will have an easy time operating an oscilloscope. What is an oscilloscope? An oscilloscope is a test instrument that graphically displays electrical signals, showing how these […]

Introduction A voltage divider is a simple electronic circuit used for producing an output voltage that is lower than the input voltage. Most of the time, the output voltage is only a fraction of the input voltage. Voltage dividers consist of resistors connected in series to make its functionality possible. The output voltage is measured in […]

Introduction Let’s say you want to connect a battery to a light or even your vehicle. Understanding battery polarity is essential so that you don’t damage circuit components by allowing electricity to flow in the wrong direction. So, what is polarity? Polarity in electronics is the presence of two distinct and oppositive poles. They include the […]

Introduction A multimeter, whether analog or digital, is a crucial electronic device used for measuring different types of electrical properties, such as resistance, current, and voltage, of a circuit. The multimeter has a display where it shows the values depending on what is being measured. It’s a simple device to use, but not everyone knows […]

Introduction Transistors are tiny semiconductor devices important for controlling and regulating the flow of voltage and current in a circuit. So, they can act as a switch or amplifier in a circuit. Transistors remain fundamental in modern electronics. That is why you can find them in every device, ranging from computer chips to smartphones. It […]

Introduction A serial peripheral interface or SPI is a type of synchronous serial communication interface that is used for short distance data transfer from a master device to one or several slave devices. This type of system is common in embedded systems due to its high speed performance and simplicity as well. SPI operates on a […]

What is an Arduino? An Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronic projects. It involves combining hardware, such as Arduino boards, and using a programming language to control the components connected to the boards. You can consider an Arduino as a microcontroller board that can be programmed to read inputs from devices, such […]

Circuit protection remains an important aspect of electronic devices. You may come across circuit breakers as the common way of protecting your device from surges. However, there are many other options as well. That is where fuses come in to also help with circuit protection. what is a fuse? A fuses is an electrical safety device vital […]
