Reverse Polarity Protection
A reverse voltage can easily damage electronic circuits. Let's look at simple reverse polarity protection circuits using diodes.
Diodes
A diode is like a one-way road for electric current. Let's have a look at this simple semiconductor components.
P-N Junction
Let's look at the foundation for transistors, diodes and many other semiconductor components: the p-n junction.

Semiconductors
A world without semiconductor components has become unthinkable. But what are they and what makes them that special?
Temperature Threshold Module
Do you want to trigger an action once the temperature crosses certain point? Then you are in need of a temperature threshold module.
Analog Temperature Modules
Do you need to know the temperature for one of your Arduino projects? In this tutorial we learn how to use analog temperature modules.
Temperature Measurement with NTCs
NTCs are often used as temperature sensors. To use them, we need to know how to calculate a temperature value out of the measured resistance.
Thermistors
The resistivity of materials is dependent on temperature. Thermistors are electric components which make use of this.
Resistance Measurement
We talked a lot about voltage dividers and resistance, but how can we actually measure resistance?
Potentiometers
Potentiometers are a common example for voltage dividers. Let's have a look at how they work and how they can be used.
Voltage Dividers
As we are now familiar with resistor combinations, let's take a deeper look into voltage dividers.
Resistor Combinations
We already know how resistance, current and voltage behave for single resistors. But what about more complex resistor combinations?
Ohm's Law
When talking about resistance, we cannot avoid ohm’s law, which shows the connection between current, voltage and resistance.
Conductivity and Resistance
Among the components found in circuits, resistors are pretty common. Let's take a look at them and the conductivity of different materials.
Using a DMM
A multimeter is an indispensable tool when analyzing electronic circuits. Let's discover how to use it!
