YouTuber [RimstarOrg], AKA Hackaday’s own [Steven Dufresne], 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 windings road:It all starts with the concepts of inductance and electromagnetism. Inside an ignition coil there are two sets of wire windings (aka coils, that's why it's called a "coil," get it?).

This small inductance-meter is what every beginner in electronics should have to start in electronics. Commercial multimeters all include the ohm-meter function, more rarely that of capacitance meter, ...
