  Multimeter or Avometer is an electric measuring device that can be used to measure voltage (voltmeter), resistance (ohmmeter) and electric current (ammeters). As explained in the previous article, there are 2 types of multimeter or avometer, namely digital and analog. The difference is that for analog, the meter indicator uses a needle, while the digital one uses the numbers indicated by a led light. The image below shows the difference between a digital and analog multimeter or avometer: test Analog Multimeter Digital Multimeter The parts of the multimeter or avometer are as follows: Step Switch This section is used to select the type of quantity to be measured by the measurement range. ZERO Control Screw Before taking the measurement, the needle must indicate exactly ZERO, otherwise the control screw ZERO must be reset. ZERO button For each resistance measurement, the ZERO button must be adjusted so that the needle points exactly to ZERO. Investigator Cables The RED cable is at...

Transmission medium is the medium or device used to facilitate the connection between the sender and receiver of information (in this case data), because of the long distance. First the data is converted into code and this code will be manipulated in various ways to be converted back into data. Some electronic devices, such as telephones, computers, television, and radios require transmission media to receive data. As in a telephone, the transmission medium used to connect two telephones is a cable. Every electronic device has different transmission media in sending data. The characteristics of this transmission medium depend on: Types of electronic devices The data used by these electronic devices The level of effectiveness in sending data Size of data transmitted To get to know more about transmission media, below are several types of transmission media, namely as follows: 1. Twisted Pair Cable Twisted pair cable consists of two conductors that are joined in order to reduce or elimin...

The multimeter function or the use of a multimeter is a discussion that I will present in this article, after I previously conveyed what a multimeter is and the parts of a multimeter. There are quite a lot of multimeter functions that you can use for various purposes or activities in assembling or making electronic equipment, including measuring resistance, measuring DC voltage, measuring power and others. Below I briefly describe each of the functions of the multimeter, which are as follows: Measuring Resistance This multimeter function is performed to measure the resistance level on the resistor. The trick is to turn the steps on the OHM, then the ends of the red and black probe wires are touched or attached to each end of the resistor wire and do the zero setting by turning the knob to zero. Measure DC Voltage This multimeter function is performed to measure the voltage in a battery. The trick is, estimate the voltage to be measured, place the step on a higher scale, then attach the...

Basic electronics consists of so much material and of all these materials you really need to master it all because it will help you in learning and practicing basic electronics, especially when assembling an electronic circuit. In this article, we will discuss one of the most important basic electronic materials, namely how to choose the right solder tin. Maybe some of you think that tin solder is all the same, only different brands. But in fact, there are many kinds of tin soldering in terms of the composition of the metal content in them which are intended for a wide variety of soldering purposes. To make it easier for you to assemble an electronic circuit, it's a good idea to choose this solder tin correctly because if you are wrong in choosing a solder tin, then chances are, your soldering results will not be optimal or you even need to repeat the soldering again. For those of you who are still struggling with basic electronic circuits, maybe we would prefer you to use a solder...

The majority of electronic components have a fairly small size. Therefore, sometimes we have difficulty in the process of soldering electronic components to a PCB board. It should also be noted that carelessly soldering may also result in some components not working properly. Seeing this problem, we would like to give a few tips on how exactly the most appropriate way to solder these electronic components. First of all, before we start discussing how to solder the correct components, we must prepare some supporting tools first, such as: solder with a voltage of 30-40 watts. A sharp soldering eye. Tenol with a size that matches the size of the component to be soldered. Steps To Soldering Electronic Components If you have prepared the three tools, we can start practicing the soldering properly. All you need to do is follow the instructions that we provide in this article to get fast and precise soldering results for every electronic component that we will install on the PCB board. He...

Digital electronics is a transformation and also an increase in technology in the world of digital electronics. In the past, everything that was analogous was now starting to switch to using the digital system because it was felt to be much more profitable. If you want to know what benefits you can get from using digital electronic devices, maybe you can read some of the other articles that we gave some time ago in discussing the advantages of some digital electronic devices compared to analog. In this article, we will discuss more about what measurement tools are often used in making or testing digital electronics. Some of the tools that we will describe are also very useful tools when assembling analog type electronic circuits. The following are some of the measuring instruments used in digital electronics. Ammeter The ampere meter is one of the most important tools for its use, which is to calculate the electric current, both AC and DC. The way to use this tool is to attach it direc...

  Electronic Aids are equipment that can be used to assist work in working on electronic designs or designs. In designing an electronic circuit or making electronic devices. We can't just use our hands. We definitely need these tools to simplify and speed up our work. So, what are the tools?  Below are some tools that we can use, namely: 1. Chainsaw Saws can be used as an electronic tool to cut things, for example PCBs and others. There are several types of saws according to their purpose. There are saws for chopping wood, there are for cutting iron, there are for cutting paralon and others. You can look for special saws that can help you in making electronic devices. 2. Soldering In designing an electronic circuit, we cannot be separated from the name solder. Solder is also an electronic tool that can be used to install or connect electronic components to PCD, or between cables and cables. There are two forms of solder, some are in the form of a pencil and some are in the for...
