Hack: Measuring Resistor Values

July 3, 2024 by Dad

This is a bit niche, but it’s something I find super helpful, and maybe one day you will too. Occasionally I will breadboard a circuit that I choose not to build, for one reason or another. When it comes time to clear off all the components, I am typically left with a handful of resistors … Read more

Passive Components – Resistors

May 25, 2024May 24, 2024 by Dad

Passive components don’t require additional power to affect the signal path. Or, another way to look at it is that they cannot use additional electric sources to affect the signal path. Resistors are the most common component in DIY synth design. As the name implies, they provide resistance in a circuit by acting in … Read more
