Direct current/Project basics
This is a guide to direct current electronic projects. Here are the basics to starting projects, and there are links to specific DC projects.
Common tools edit
- Multimeter
- Solder
- Electronic board: breadboard, printed circuit board
Semiconductors edit
Integrated circuits edit
Integrated circuits are chips that have basic circuits internally, and can be wired to externally for greater use.
555 timer edit
There are variants to the 555 chip for the same purpose but for more outputs: 556 chip. This chip is used to time circuits.
Audio amplifier edit
