Howtoons Electrical Problems Electrical problems are problems with either the design or construction of your electrical circuits. These are physical problems that you’ll need to fix by hand with scissors, a needle, thread, fabric, and glue. The next several pages provide examples of common electrical problems, information about how to find them, and step-by-step instructions for fixing them. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS COVERED IN THIS SECTION • loose connections • short circuits • reversed polarity Loose connections occur when the thread that is stitched through a component (like an LED, speaker, LilyTiny, or Protoboard) is too loose. If the thread is too loose, there will not be a consistent electrical connection between the thread and the component. symptoms If there is a loose connection in your project, parts of your project will only work some of the time. checking your project for loose connections Gently bend and stretch your project. To fix loose connections, thread your needle with conductive thread.

What Is Soldering and How Do You Use Solder Tools? Soldering (pronounced "soddering") involves a material called solder that melts when placed on a hot object; the melted solder cools and forms a bond between two items. Turning Electricity On and Off You've scrounged around your growing electronics bin and come up with wires to connect a circuit together and batteries to power the circuit. Steps to Great Car Audio Sound It takes a lot to create a good car audio system. Ten (Or So) Cool Electronics Testing Tool Tips Okay, so you're ready to graduate to the electronics big time.

Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly "When this fabulous, amazing, unputdownable book arrived at my studio I immediately spent two and a half hours in it, and then the next morning passed another three-hour stint of 'Wow - look at this! I could do that!' This book is more exciting -- in both what it actually offers and what kind of life it suggests -- than anything I've read for a very long time. It's an outstanding achievement in every sense -- content, design, and quality.
