In the last tutorial, we learnt about transfer functions. In this tutorial we shall learn about block diagrams in control systems. A block diagram is an intuitive way of ...

In the previous tutorial, we saw how we can model physical systems. In this tutorial, we shall move forward to learn about transfer functions. Before that, why do we need a ...

XCOS is a tool in Scilab that is used to model and simulate dynamic systems that is similar to Simulink in MATLAB. XCOS can be used for both continuous time and discrete time ...

When solving DC circuits using Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) or Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL), you will often get multiple related equations and multiple unknown terms. The nice ...

Scilab is a free, open-source numerical computation software that is similar to the popular MATLAB. In this tutorial series, we shall see how we can use Scilab to model and ...

In this tutorial, we shall understand how we can develop mathematical models of physical systems. As we discussed earlier, a physical system is a collection of objects connected ...

Even with KCL and KVL, as circuits get more complicated, sometimes the setup and the math can become quite complicated. However, using the superposition theorem, in certain ...

Hi! This tutorial is going to be somewhat special - it will be the last one in this series. It’s been a long time since the very first tutorial and you’ve discovered a lot in the ...

Control Systems is an interdisciplinary topic involving all different types of engineering and it has applications everywhere, from small electronic circuits to a big industrial ...

There are well over a dozen different MOSFET schematic symbols in circulation and, between the different symbols that represent the same thing and the many different types of ...

Hi again! It’s time for a new tutorial! Today, I’ll tell you how to receive and process the signals from the IR remote. Basically, the task will consist of two parts. In the first ...

We have gone over Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) in a previous tutorial and Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) is very similar but focused on the voltage in a circuit, not the current. ...

Wave-shaping circuits are circuits that usually clip off portions of signal voltages above or below certain levels, or add or restore a DC level to an electrical signal, or ...

While we’ve discussed Ohm’s Law and series and parallel circuits, you’ve probably realized by now that there are many situations where these methods come short when trying to ...

In the basic circuit tutorials up to this point, we have generally represented a voltage potential by just assigning a node one potential and another node a different potential. ...
