Continue ReadingBuilding upon my last video, I’ve decided to make a simple circuit using some op-amps. One is the general op-amp LM741. The other is a specific op-amp, LM386, that is designed for audio amplification. This circuit can be used to amplify microphones or be used as a circuit sniffer depending on what you connect to […]
