This is a simple network cord tester that uses just 8 unique resistors. The values/wattage doesn’t matter as long as the meter can read them. They should be in the kiloohm range. I have made an Excel spreadsheet file that you can enter all 8 of the resistors and get the total parallel resistance. The …

Basketball pump signal injector
This is a simple signal injector that can fit inside a mini basketball pump it requires: This signal injector can come in handy for repairing radios, amplifers and old TVs and also square wave generator in a probe. Later on I will make a version that uses C1 and C2 as 470nF and R3 and …
DIY cable tester
In this blog I will show you two ways to make a cable tester. The 1st way uses a arduino (software controlled). The 2nd way uses a decade counter chip(CD4017) and a flashing LED. I am going to order the Dual RJ45 jack to screw terminals from eBay. The other connectors are from parts-express. I …
De Sauty’s Bridge
This bridge is good for measuring Capacitors. What you do is hookup high impedance headphones to the output(V2 in the NL5 Circuit). Then adjust the resistor(s) , you can use the calculator below to find a suitable resistance for the resistors. This works like a Wheatstone bridge except one side has capacitors. The calculator calculates …
$32 dollar isolation transformer
Here’s a simple easy to build Isolation Transformer that you can buy from All Electronics. Here’s what you need: 1x 120VAC Output transformer 1x outlet connector 1x power cord You can add a 1/2A fuse that goes on the output of the transformer
