7. Electronics design

▶ Group assignment ✌

  • Use the test equipment in your lab to observe the operation of a microcontroller circuit board (in minimum, check operating voltage on the board with multimeter or voltmeter and use oscilloscope to check noise of operating voltage and interpret a data signal).

MULTIMETER:

This my first time using MULTIMETER so let’s start with the basics I learned

Always try to connect the ground (black) first to the component or trace, then the red positive wire.

  • Continuity

We most use it for testing circuits, to test for conductivity of material and trace where electrical connections have been made or not made.

Set the meter to continuity and check if it works by touching the pins together, it should have sound.

  • RESISTOR

checking the actual resistance between 2 points in an electrical circuit- Ω

  • CAPACITOR

A capacitor can charge and release energy, like a mini battery. It’s measured in F (Farad).
