BUILD an ohmmeter

OBJECTIVE The objective here is to build an ohmmeter, which is a device for measuring resistance. The approach that we will use is to make a voltage divider circuit. This will consist of two different resistances. One will be fixed and the other will be the one which we wish to test. Because the two…

UNDERSTANDING interrupts

INTRODUCTION Interrupts are very important processes that occur in many circuits. Many circuits have a process that monitors what is going on and if the correct parameter(s) are met then an interrupt will kick in – it interrupts what was happening! We can split interrupts into hardware and software. Hardware interrupts These occur when an…
