In this video, you will learn about one of the most important concepts in modern electronics: the PWM signal. You will understand, step by step, the main characteristics of PWM and you will learn in practice how pulse width modulation can control everything from a simple light bulb to more complex devices, such as electronic injections, switching power supplies, etc. The idea is to show in a very simple and fun way how the circuits involved in PWM work, with experiments that are very easy to repeat. Let's go! PWM signal: Everything you wanted to know (but were afraid to ask)! In this video, you will learn about one of the most important concepts in modern electronics: the PWM signal.
