Intermediate Electronics

Hi there! After the last two tutorials, we are confident about dealing with buttons. Today, we’ll expand this knowledge and learn how to check the state of the several buttons ...

In our discussions about diodes, we have learned that a PN junction is a boundary formed between a P-type and N-type semiconductor when they are combined. When a PN junction is ...

Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas is coming soon, so it’s time for some magic. And I’ll show you some real magic today. As we all want to feel relaxed before the Christmas holidays, I ...

Have you ever wondered why we operate a Zener in reverse bias unlike normal diodes that are operated in forward bias? This is because Zener diodes are meant to ‘break down’. ...

Hi again! After the meaty last tutorial, I think it would be good to rest a bit and consider something relatively easy and short. Also, I haven’t provided a homework solution ...

Hi again! This time we’ll put the LEDs aside and try something new. We will play music using a buzzer. Interestingly, some of the basic concepts are the same as with the LEDs ...

Hi there and welcome back! In tutorial 6, we made an LED blink and this time, we’re going to control the LED again but, unlike last time, we will not just blink the LED but ...

A transistor is an electronic device that can be used as an amplifier or as an electronic switch. Its ability to amplify a signal or to switch high power loads using a small ...

Welcome back! I hope your first experience with the Assembly language was pleasant, that it got you excited, and now you are looking forward to more and more interesting ...

Hi there! This is an auspicious moment. In this microcontroller tutorial, we start applying what we’ve learned and make things happen. This is our first tutorial devoted to ...

This is the last microcontroller tutorial before we load some code on the microcontroller and start actually doing things! It’s very exciting. In this tutorial, I will provide ...

Hi again and welcome back! In this tutorial, I will provide more detailed information about the PIC10F200 microcontroller so you understand exactly what we’re doing and why. ...

While the microcontroller is the brains of a project, there are a lot of other things required for a functional circuit. So, let’s first figure out what we will need to develop ...

These microcontroller tutorials come from the idea of making some cool things using the most simple and primitive microcontroller possible. So, if you want to learn about ...

The last time we discussed diodes, we learned about its basic structure and how forward biasing allows current through the pn junction. This time, we are going to discuss about ...
