has long leads and is a great fit in the tool pouch. I've used this style for years and is great for testing house electrical wiring circuits. Simply use the leads to test for voltage from a Hot wire to Ground or Hot wire to Neutral. ...
Level shifting, in its simplest terms, is a technique that allows compatibility between two systems of different operating voltages. Over the recent years, the three most common voltage levels amongst transistor-transistor logic (TTL) devices are 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V. Being able to "shift" betwe...
The circuit uses an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) as a light sensor, which, in simple terms, is a resistor whose value increases in darkness and decreases in the presence of light. Then it uses one transistor to detect the light, and another to drive the relay. When light falls on the...
The circuit is being used as a current booster, the current being the supply to the transmitter and dependent on the voltage it produces. The LM317 always tries to keep 1.25V between it’s output pin and “adj” pin but where we benefit here is the current at the “adj” pin is very...
We will use it to make sure that our power supply is producing the right voltage. The logic probe is optional. It makes it easy to test the state (1 or 0) of a wire, but you can do the same thing with an LED. Of the parts described above, all are easy except the 5-volt ...

"From the billions of transistor chips inside our computers to the large spacecraft electronic systems, electrical engineers create, deploy and maintain these remarkable and complex systems," Kleinrock, who has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, wrote in an email. "With these s...
Arduino Pin Turns On Transistor>>Transistor Turns On Relay>>Relay Connects Appliance To 120V Power Outlet. With that out of the way, you should also use a resistor to connect your Arduino to the transistor. This prevents the transistor from drawing excessive amounts of current and burning it ...
Option #1: Spin a new board to evaluate a part that you haven’t tested yet. Option #2: Build a simplified circuit on an evaluation module to evaluate. Option #3: “Dead bug” or “blue wire”-solder your device to your board. ...
If there is no signal, move the red probe to the base of the D12 to look for signal. If signal is there, the diode may be backward, or the transistor may be PNP (it happened to me). Short across D12 with wire or a short piece of solder. If the LED lights up, swap the orie...
