We are all aware of multimeters such as voltmeters (voltage meters) and Ammeters (Ampere meters). A voltmeter is nothing but a device used to measure voltage between given two terminals. Apart from basic usage, digital voltmeters are also employed as panel meters for automation systems and robotics. On the other hand, an ammeter is an instrument used for electric … [Read more...] about Assemble A DIY Multimeter | Digital Voltmeter and Ammeter

The timer runs down considerably more quickly in Demo mode. Turn off your microwave if it is in demo mode. Demo mode is option 6 in the menu for models having an Options or My Settings button, setting it to 2 will disable it. Microwave Clock Running Fast Most microwave digital clocks are frequency-based. North America operates on a 60-cycle frequency. As a … [Read more...] about Microwave Clock Running Fast
Can I Use a 12V Power Supply on a 5V
You cannot use a 12V power supply on a 5V. It will cause the device to draw more current than it is designed for and will likely burn out, causing fire hazards and explosions. In other words, if the applied voltage is more than the maximum rated voltage then the device will undoubtedly fail due to overvoltage. Instead, you can use a commercial IC to convert 12V down to … [Read more...] about Can I Use a 12V Power Supply on a 5V
