Definitely you heard or saw or using some from of wireless electricity transmission. We have a basic technical article on wireless charging. This guide, Arduino wireless electricity transmission is a complete DIY, easy project with basic electronic components with circuit diagram and code. We talked about different types of copper wire, the needed wire is called winding wire. We will create need … [Read more...]
ATtiny Arduino Boards For Cost Saving Projects
It is probably normal or expected that many of the Arduino users will know very less about the microcontrollers. Genuine Arduino boards are for development purpose, but one need to search for low cost for really creating a project which will be used. The methods of cost reduction varies and depends on the skill of the readers. Ready to use cheap ATtiny Arduino boards available which can be used by … [Read more...]
DC Motor Speed Controller (PWM) Buying Guide
These days cheap China PCB circuits with knobs are sold as LED Dimmer, Voltage Regulator, Motor Speed Controller. Here is DC Motor Speed Controller (PWM) buying guide for understanding. If you do not understand what is PWM - that is Pulse-width Modulation, you need to watch our Arduino guide for DC motor control which has a video. In that video, we had way to input 0 to 255 values to control the … [Read more...]
DIY Benchtop Power Supply (ATX) : List of Needed Components
In previous articles we introduced to practical work on how we can use DIY benchtop power supply, we talked about various types switches and various types of fuses used in electrical and electronics. Our target is to help the newbie who are not used with electrical, electronics, have less budget but want to learn electronics works. I talked about what is -5V like negative voltage. Those previous … [Read more...]
What is Negative DC Voltage, Like -5 Volt?
Few weeks ago, we were discussing about building ATX DIY bench power supply - in that way, we can use or convert Computer Power Supply to breadboard power supply with stable, regulated voltage. Before explanation, for that DIY work - as computer's power supply is a ready to use solution for computer board, that negative DC Voltage, like -5 Volt are present. You will use only the positive DC … [Read more...]
How to Solder Electronic Components : Through-Hole
Ordinary soldering irons are not costly and you can try. Soldering is one of the most needed skill in the world of electronics. Alternative to soldering in part is wire wrapping, but wire wrapping not always easy or perfect solution with currently available tools. Soldering through-hole technology components (through-hole components are commonly used by the makers and differs from SMD components). … [Read more...]
Types of Copper Wires Used in DIY, Household Works
It is common to face guides and tutorials DIY electronics works and household repair like we talked about solid core copper wire in another guide. Here is a brief, easy description with illustration of types of copper wires used in DIY, household works. We will mention the common gauges too so that you face less trouble in real. Copper wire are sold different varieties, and the differences may be … [Read more...]
What Are Arduino Relay Modules, What They Do?
Definitely you have noticed the Arduino Relay Modules on Ebay, Amazon like online shops or may be on some blog sites. Many obviously wonder and ask what are Arduino Relay Modules, what they do? In very short, these relay modules isolate two circuits so that we can control 230V appliances with Arduino using relay. As the matter is with live 230V connection, not 9V battery, usage must be by adults. … [Read more...]
Types of Fuses, Fuseholders Used in DIY & Household
Thomas Edison has patent on fuse. Fuse provides overcurrent protection to a circuit using basic theory. Thomas Edison never discovered incandescent bulb but he discovered the Edison screw mount and modified filament. Thomas Edison has not discovered fuse too. Who discovered fuse that is not known, he added a standard and Louis Breguet recommended such thing in mid 1850. There is another similar … [Read more...]
Types of Electrical Switches Used in DIY & Household
In DIY works, theoretical knowledge around them becomes a barrier - it happens that you noticed a thing in use and understood to be appropriate but the name is unknown to you. We are saying the theoretical English nomenclatures, for few in real life technicians to the shops refer them with different sounding name which goes worser in the non-English speaking countries. Here are the common types of … [Read more...]
DIY Oscilloscope Kit
Previously we talked about Oscilloscope. Any DIY oscilloscope kit is quite challenging and also fun to build. Question is whether they worth buying & what types of kits are available. The other way of building DIY oscilloscope is avoiding these ready to use kits and assemble ownself. Second type is not discussed in this article. DIY Oscilloscope Kit : Basics Most of these … [Read more...]
