This week we’ll take a look at another type of audio amplifier, the class AB amp. As we saw in Hack #19 the class A amp has a transistor that is biased with a voltage that makes it essentially stay … Continue reading →

Here’s a great little project that goes well with the LM386 audio amp. It’s a good first time transistor project because it’s simple and demonstrates the common emitter class A amplifier circuit with only six components in the signal path. … Continue reading →

When I dream up hacks I usually think about them for a day or so first. I had an idea this week for another cat toy and I thought I had it pretty well worked out. Once I got into … Continue reading →

When I started this whole Hack A Week thing I posted an introductory video in which I stated I would be doing all kinds of projects. While most of them have been centered around electronics I have deviated into such … Continue reading →

Building an FM transmitter is fun! This kit was very easy to build so it would be a good first time kit if you’re just getting started in electronics. If you can understand how to read capacitor and resistor values … Continue reading →
