Design a Coil for a Specific Inductance
YouTuber [RimstarOrg] shows how to make a DIY inductor for a specific inductance. This is obviously a great skill to learn as sometimes your design may call for a very accurate inductance that may be hard to find otherwise.
It may seem daunting when it comes to making your own inductor you may have a few questions such as: What type of core will I use?, How many turns does my coil need? or How do I calculate these parameters to create the specific inductance I desire? [RimstarOrg] goes through all of This, he even has a handy Inductance calculator …read more
