36K Ohm Resistors, 50 Pack

Description

50PCS 36K ohm 36000 ohm 1/4w 1/4 w 5%

Tutorial: How to Use 36K ohm Resistor

Resistors are fundamental in electronics to limit the flow of current. This 36kΩ resistor is ideal for Arduino projects that require precise current control.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• USB Cable
• LED Printer

Steps

1. Connect the A0 pin of the Arduino to the side of the resistor.
2. Connect the 36kΩ resistor between a power pin (5V or 3.3V) and GND through a jumper wire.
3. Write an Arduino sketch to read the voltage on pin A0.
4. Check the read values against the resistor’s datasheet.

Example code

int ledPin = 13; 
float sensorValue;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
sensorValue = analogRead(A0); 
analogWrite(ledPin, sensorValue * (255/1024));
delay(1000);
}

Mini project

Create an LED dimmer with Arduino and the 36kΩ resistor. Adjust the LED brightness using a variable.

Common mistakes

• Incorrect connection between power, input pin, and GND.
• Use of an inadequate resistor for the applied voltage.
• Failure to consider the 5% tolerance in circuit design.

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Uno
• Set of LEDs in various colors
• Kit of resistors with various values

Frequently asked questions

Q: Why doesn’t the resistor work?
Check the connections correctly and consult the datasheet for technical specifications.

Q: What is the purpose of the 5% tolerance?
The tolerance indicates how much the nominal resistance value can vary during production.
