About Course

 

This beginner‑friendly electronics mini‑course introduces students to using a digital multimeter on real circuit boards. Starting from what a multimeter is and how its controls work, learners move through safety rules, measuring DC voltage, using continuity mode, and checking resistor values on a board. The last lesson combines these skills into a practical, step‑by‑step method for reading and diagnosing a simple low‑voltage PCB. The course is designed for absolute beginners, making it ideal for students who are just starting with electronics and want hands‑on skills they can use in a lab or workshop.

What Will You Learn?

  • Identify the main parts and controls of a digital multimeter.
  • Apply essential safety rules when working with a multimeter and electronic boards.
  • Measure DC voltage correctly at different test points on a circuit board.
  • Use continuity mode to trace tracks and check connections on a PCB.
  • Measure resistance of basic components like resistors and compare readings with expected values.
  • Follow a simple step‑by‑step method to “read” and troubleshoot a low‑voltage electronic board.
