Intermediate Electronics

Hi again! In the previous tutorial we started to learn how to make a robot. Last time, it was radio-controlled. This time, we will make it move automatically without our ...

So we have gone over Zener diodes, how they work and some of the concepts - how they're used in voltage regulation, we've gone over it conceptually, gone over it ...

In our previous discussion about rectifiers, we discussed full-wave rectifiers and how they are different from half-wave rectifiers. We also discussed one type of full-wave ...

In our previous topics about diodes, we’ve learned about the pn junction, and how a diode works in forward bias and reverse bias. We have also discussed LEDs, which is a ...

In our previous topics relating to diodes, we’ve discussed the operation of a Zener diode as well as its important specifications. We’ve learned that a Zener diode is a ...

Hi! The time has come to have some fun! After the “meaty” tutorial devoted to the UART, we need to relax and make something interesting. Thus, I decided to show you how you can ...

In our discussion with half-wave rectifiers, we’ve learned that half-wave rectifiers only rectify the half-cycle of the AC input. Though they can be used in some applications, ...

Hello again! This time we will try to establish the connection between the PIC10F200 microcontroller and a typical personal computer. Obviously, we can’t connect it to the PC ...

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 ...
