Perhaps it is time to purchase a low cost digital multimeter. While I cannot point you to a specific tutorial, the most important part of wiring power is to get the polarity correct. Ideally something small is better, I want to fit the whole thing in a Altoids box. I'm not sure whats the best way to power this up, in 'efficient manners' should I go for a rechargeable battery? Some button batteries? AAA ones? a 0.97'' LCD screen powered up by the trinket 5v output.

My first project is basically a small LCD game system for my daughter (hence the importance of the safety here)

In other words, if anyone can redirect me to some beginner like tutorials regarding powering up a system, that'd be great.Īnd/Or if you could help me finding what I need to do to power my own project, that'd be even more awesome!!! This type of sentence doesn't make me want to do a bunch of 'try and error' tests The most scary aspect is when you ready: 'Oh and be careful, if you're doing it wrong, it's gonna blow up'.

I very recently got into electronics, and I found a lot of 'beginner''s tutorials which were fantastic.Īnd a lot of 'very advance ones', sadly I'm king of missing the middle partĮspecially when it comes down to powering up an Arduino with a rechargeable battery or using AAs.
