Tutorial: How to use 1.5M ohm Resistor
The 1.5 MΩ resistor is a fundamental component for electronic projects that require precise current limits. Ideal for beginner and intermediate makers.
What you need
- Arduino Uno
- Breadboard
- Led
Steps
- Check the datasheet for the 1.5 MΩ resistor.
- Connect one end of the breadboard to a digital pin on the Arduino.
- Connect the other end of the resistor to an LED through the breadboard.
- Write and upload the Arduino sketch to control the current intensity passing through the resistor and the LED.
Example code
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
Mini project
Create a simple alarm system with a 1.5MΩ resistor that activates an LED when a certain current threshold is exceeded.
Common mistakes
- Incorrectly connecting the resistor on the breadboard.
- Not verifying the resistor specifications on the datasheet.
- Using a resistor with too low or too high a value.
- Ignore the calculation of current intensity for the LED.
Recommended accessories
- Arduino Uno
- Breadboard
- LED in various colors
