Lab: Electronics and using a Multimeter
Sep 1, 2025
I accidentally miswired the 5-volt voltage regulator. I connected the power supply’s positive lead to the Output pin instead of the Input. The LED still lit up, but the regulator quickly became very hot. Using a multimeter, I traced the mistake and confirmed the problem. It was a good reminder to always double-check pinouts before powering the circuit.

This is time I wired correctly.
