In this post we systematically discuss how to connect diodes in parallel for getting upgrading the overall current specifications of the assembly. This requires special circuit arrangement to ensure uniform current distribution between the devices. Whenever an inductor based load is involved in a DC circuit, incorporating a back EMF protection diode or a freewheeling […]

How a Connect a Potentiometer
In this article we study how potentiometers work and try to understand how to connect potentiometers in electronic circuits. How Potentiometers Work Potentiometers, or pots as these are called in short form are passive electronic devices which are basically just variable resistors, or resistors whose values can be altered from zero maximum within the given […]
How to Troubleshoot Transistor (BJT) Circuits Correctly
Troubleshooting BJT circuits is basically a process of identifying the electrical faults in the network using multimeters across the various nodes in the circuit. BJT troubleshooting techniques is a huge topic and therefore including 100 % solutions and strategies can be perhaps difficult within a single article. Basically, the user should know about a handful […]
How to Make PCB at Home (Easiest Method)
For any electronic enthusiast making PCBs for an electronic project can be a lot of fun. A printed circuit board or PCB not only helps to build compact circuit projects, it also guarantees the working of the circuit fail proof and more accurate. In this post I will comprehensively explain a step wise process of […]
How Contactless Infrared Thermometers Work – How to Make One
In this post I have explained the basic working concept of thermal scanners or contactless IR thermometers, and also learn how to make a practical DIY prototype of the unit without Arduino. In the post COVID-19 era, witnessing doctors holding a contactless temperature gun and pointing toward the forehead of a COVID-19 suspect is a […]
How to Calculate Zener Diode Resistor
In this article I have explained how to calculate and the find the value of the zener diode resistor using simple formulas. What is a Zener Diode Zener diodes are semiconductor devices which are used for regulating an input DC voltage to any desired output voltage. The regulated output voltage value directly depends on the […]
