I very much enjoy making my own circuit boards. It’s a satisfying process that ties together my love of electronics with materials I used back in my art school days. It’s also the most accurate way to build a circuit short of sending away to a PCB manufacturer, and it’s much more fun. Subscribe to […]
Voltage, Current, and Resistance — three of the most important electrical properties, are elegantly intertwined by way of a the simple equation V = IR, better known as Ohm’s Law. Get acquainted with this fundamental tool of electronics engineering.
The deceptively simple wire coil that proves incredibly useful in the world of electronics – the inductor’s ability to store energy in an electromagnetic field is the key to making transformers, electromagnets, and many more components. It truly is an awesome device!
