Using standard resistor values can greatly impact the accuracy and predictability of a circuit by eliminating rounding errors incurred at the end of the design. Selecting resistor values traditionally ...

From instrument amplifiers to precision analog circuits to geophones, resistor networks are used in a variety of applications. Each has its own unique requirements, but none more stringent than the ...

Electricity powers everything from your phone to your refrigerator—but have you ever wondered how it’s controlled inside a ...

Moving the position of the slider on this resistor, changes the length of wire in the circuit which changes the resistance. A variable resistor is used in some dimmer switches and volume controls. As ...

With modern microcontrollers, the process of interfacing with the analogue world is easy. Simply enable the on-board DAC or ADC, and talk to the world. If you’ve ever done this with a slightly older ...

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi meet up virtually to talk about the week’s top stories and hacks, such as the fine art of resistor trimming and lessons learned from doing overseas ...
