Wireless Continuous Wave Transmitter | Project 7/10 | Maxitronix 10in1 | In The Lab With Jay Jay

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I do the seventh Maxitronix 10in1 Electronic Project Lab project: Wireless Continuous Wave Transmitter.

While conducting this experiment I made some notes over here: Maxitronix/10in1/7.

I made a bunch of mistakes while building and testing this circuit, and a lot of the footage I took didn’t make it into the final video. In particular in between the construction part of the video at the beginning, and the testing part of the video at the end, I added a ceramic capacitor at the base of the transistor; I hadn’t understood the instructions to install this capacitor as it wasn’t wired in using spring terminals like all the other components.

1-Transistor Radio | Project 5/10 | Maxitronix 10in1 | In The Lab With Jay Jay

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I do the fifth Maxitronix 10in1 Electronic Project Lab project: 1-Transistor Radio.

This is the second radio circuit and just like the previous radio circuit I wasn’t able to make this one work either! But at least this time I did get some static noise out of the circuit, which was better than the “nothing” which I got out of the previous circuit.

Also, I did learn how to setup a frequency measurement on my oscilloscope: Measure -> Add -> Freq. Easy peasy! :)

Diode Radio | Project 4/10 | Maxitronix 10in1 | In The Lab With Jay Jay

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I do the fourth Maxitronix 10in1 Electronic Project Lab project: Diode Radio.

This experiment is a little disappointing, I couldn’t make it work in the end.

But I did learn not to leave my coffee cup on my project mat because it interferes with the thermal cam!
