Current control and monitoring are significant portions of many experimental setups and scientific measurements. As demonstrated in the previous exercise, constant current control may be required to achieve specific results. Sensor measurements, motion control in scanning instruments, robotic manipulators, electroplating or amperometry, and heating control operations are just a few examples where current control is required. LEDs should be powered from constant current sources. It has been found that a batch of LEDs from ...
