Tutorial: How to Use a 200k Ohm Resistor
The 200k ohm resistor is a fundamental component for electronic projects, useful for both beginners and experts. It primarily serves to limit electrical currents in circuits.
What you need
- Arduino Uno
- multimeter
- 3d printer (optional)
Steps
- Check the value of the resistor using a multimeter.
- Connect the resistor between an input/output pin of the Arduino and ground.
- Insert an Arduino sketch to measure the current through the resistor.
Example code
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int val = analogRead(A0);
float voltage = val * (5.0 / 1023.0);
float current = voltage / 200000;
Serial.println(current);
}
Mini project
Create a light sensor using an LDR resistor and the 200k ohm resistor as a voltage divider.
Common mistakes
- Using a resistance that is too high for the circuit, excessively limiting the current.
- Connecting the resistor to the circuit without first verifying its actual value.
Recommended accessories
- Arduino Uno
- LDR
- LED
