Motor speed control using arduino

PWM motor speed control using Arduino. PWM or pulse width modulation is a very common method used for controlling the power across devices like motor, light etc. In PWM method the power across the load  is controlled by varying the duty cycle of the drive signal. More the duty cycle more power is delivered across

Decoding the Resistor Colour Codes 101

A look into the electronic circuit board mostly shows wires with colorful bands, called resistors. These color bands indicate the values of those resistors like the identity card does for us. With these color bands, we can identify the resistive value and its percentage tolerance of a resistor.  For large power resistors, the resistor body
