Resistors are one of the most common electronic parts that you’ll use, and their primary purpose is to add resistance to a circuit. The higher the resistance, the lower the current will be in the circuit. Typically a resistor is used to either limit current or...
Eventually in your DIY Synthesizer journey, you’ll come across a situation when you’ll have to convert between uF, nF and pF. Paper and electrolytic capacitors are usually expressed in terms of uF (microfarads). Mica capacitors are usually expressed in...
Potentiometers are the components beneath the knob that actually do things. This article will teach you how Potentiometers work. A potentiometer, or pot, is a three-terminal resistor with a rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. In our AI002 DIY...
