Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to explore my knowledge about Introduction to LM317. It is basically a positive voltage regulator having three terminals. It can a supply a current more than 1.5A and voltage in a range of 1.25V to around 37V. You should also have a look at this LM 317 Calculator.
For the adjustment of output voltage only two external resistors are required. It has improved standards of line regulation as well as load regulation. Full overload protection e.g. current limiting, area protection can be achieved using LM317. If its adjusting terminal is disconnected, even then all of the protection circuits will work properly. We can also use LM317 as precision current regulator ...
Hello readers, I hope you are all doing great. Welcome to the 2nd lecture of Section 5(ESP32 Sensors) in the ESP32 Programming Series. In the previous tutorial, we discussed the built-in ESP32 Hall Effect Sensor. In this tutorial, we will discuss another inbuilt sensor of the ESP32 i.e. Capacitive Touch Sensor.
ESP32 Board has 10 built-in capacitive touch pins, which generate an electrical signal when someone touches these pins. These ESP32 touch pins are normally used to wake up the board from deep sleep mode. These touch pins are also used to replace the normal mechanical buttons with touch pads, improving the presentation of the IoT projects.
Here's the video demonstration of the ESP32 Capacitive Touch Sensor:
Before going forward, let's first understand how this touch sens ...
Hey Fellas! I hope you are enjoying your life with love, care and passion. Today I'm going to give you the details on the Introduction to 1n4733a.

Zener diodes are considered as a basic building components for many electronic circuits. I will try my best to give you the details on almost every feature of this zener diode so you don't need to go anywhere for finding the information regarding this zener diode. Let's get started.
Introduction to 1n4733a
1n4733a is a normal p-n junction diode which allows the current to flow in both directions i.e. forward direction and reverse direction.
In other words, it conducts in bot ...
Hello readers, we hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 4th lecture of Section 5(ESP32 Sensor) in the ESP32 Programming Series. So far, we have discussed the ESP32 built-in sensors in this section. Today, we are going to interface an external embedded sensor(i.e. PIR Sensor) with the ESP32 Microcontroller board. At the start, we will discuss the basics of a PIR Sensor(HC-SR501) i.e. its pinout and working. After that, we will design a simple project to detect the motion with a PIR sensor and ESP32. Finally, we will display the motion detection results on the ESP32 WebServer.
We will use ESP32 interrupts to detect the motion. Interrupts are used when a microcontroller needs to continuously monitor an event while executing other tasks at the same time. We have already posted a tuto ...
Hi Guys! I welcome you on board. Happy to see you around. In this post today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to 1n4004.The 1n4004 is a diode that allows the current to flow in one direction only. It blocks the flow of current in the opposite direction. It comes with two terminals called anode and cathode and current always flows from the anode terminal to the cathode terminal. This device comes with a reverse peak voltage of around 400V and it can support loads under 1A.
I’d recommend reading the Introduction to 1n4007 that I’ve uploaded previously. This diode is almost similar to the device 1n4004 that I’m going to stretch in this post.
I suggest you buckle up as I’ll discuss the complete introduction to 1n4004 covering datasheet, pinout, features, equivalents, and applicati ...
Hello Everyone! Happy to see you around. In this post today, we’ll cover the 2SC2240 NPN Transistor. We will have a look at the 2SC2240 Datasheet, Pinout, Power Ratings, Equivalents & Applications.
Electrons are the majority charge carriers in this NPN transistor, in contrast to PNP transistors, where holes are the majority carriers. The 2SC2240 comes with a power dissipation of 0.3W, the amount of energy this transistor dissipates while operating in the forward-biased state, while the collector current is 0.1A means it can support load up to 0.1A.
This NPN transistor contains 3 terminals, named:EmitterCollectorBase
If the voltage at the base terminal is above 0.7V, the transistor will get forward-biased and the current will start flowing from Collector to Emitter terminal. If the ...
