I hope this post finds you all knee-deep in wires, surrounded by a sea of components, and maybe even with a hint of smoke lingering in the air (just kidding, safety first!).

I'm on a quirky quest to uncover the most common, puzzling, angering issues you've encountered while tinkering away on your electronic masterpieces.

So, here's the deal: I want you to unleash your inner mad scientist and share your most common "uh-oh" moments and challenges when it comes to building electronics.

Hi, i had a device that require 12V 0.46A. I need to replace it and i found another one that do the same thing but draws 12V and 0.57A. I don't know if the power supply could supply to the device the needed current or is programmed to supply precisly 0.46A at 12V. In the first case i don't think there will be problems but in the second case if the supply can provide only 0.46A what will be the consequences.
