Thank you Sir. This 58 year old Mechanical Engineer really appreciates your breadboard tutorial. I am now confident to experiment with simple electronics. May you and yours be blessed 🙏🏼
this presentation proves the 80/20 principle wrong; less than 5% of youtube is actually useful. Here is 12 minutes of pure understandable information that will benefit anybody who watches it.
Hello everyone! Pinning this comment because it's the most common question we get on this video. It turns out that it does not matter whether the resistor goes before or after the LED in the circuit. This might seem counterintuitive if you think the resistor needs to come first to "resist" or "drop" the voltage. Since the resistor and the LED are in series, their voltage drops add up to equal the voltage of the battery (formally this is known as Kirchoff's Voltage Law). This is true regardless of what order they are placed in. If you'd like to learn more, search for tutorials on "Ohm's law" and "LED current limiting resistor." Hope that helps! Also, we apologize for the poor audio quality in this video! It is several years old and the audio was simply recorded with a cheap webcam and no post-processing. If you check out our more recent videos, hopefully you will find the quality greatly improved. Thank you for all the feedback!
I search around the internet to understand the breadbord in vain, No one have explained it like you. Really thank you well job. you have got a follower
many thanks. Im a 29 year old man now, at childhood , didn't had good income to buy a Arduino kit, i really loved to use a one. recently i brought some uno boards, breadboards and some sensors . i didn't know actually how to use breadboard correctly. this helped to understand it.
This is really great! I've been doing Arduino off and on with students for years and have never been able to explain breadboards in this detail and in such a comprehensive way. Thanks!
Coming from someone who has a bunch of stuff like this laying around the house with a crappy idea of how it works, I found this video extremely helpful.
I don’t know how you did it, but you turned something that was hopelessly confusing to me into something I can understand the mechanics of and use in electronics projects.
It's funny, started out wanting to sell my old massage chair; but had to repair the head rest swivel. Went out and nobody had the parts. Thought to myself, it would be nice to know how to machine those parts. This led to a video where a guy built his own computer assisted wood and aluminum cutting tool. I came across the concept of Arduino after that; but still didn't have a clue about electronics; so I went more basic to this idea of breadboards. I've always wanted to build my own stuff. Or to learn how to repair stuff. I really appreciate not only this video; but the content on your entire channel and the website you put up. I feel it is time for a major change in my life; where I learn to become much more self-reliant. It's 2024; and already many great shifts have occurred. Thanks, and I subscribed just from this one video.
I can sense a wide and deep rabbit hole that I'm about to go down. With these basics, I'll eventually be able to learn other things like coding with C, and building machines that make jobs a lot easier and more precise. Napoleon spoke about the potency behind being able to acquire specialized knowledge. We live in a day and age where information is plentiful. Not all is created equal; and so I have been learning the art and science of finding those diamonds in the rough or the gems that sparkle amongst the average. I see this channel as one such high quality source of information. Thank you.
im a first year electrical engineering student working remotely, my prof didnt explain these boards the best, so this was a life saver for the labs i have to do, thanks!
I owe you one this is exactly what I needed. I need someone to teach me like im 2 years old. I was so embarrassed walking into my circuit lab not knowing what a wire was. Thank you.
Thank you for a straight to the point and clear explanation, I could not get my head round this at school, thirty years later you given me the courage to once again have ago at electronics,
I like how you are show us it's raw form and not just going into the technical presentation. I also like that you have the history of the bread board. Very impressed! !!!
This is a comprehensive and well made video. As a newcomer to electronics, this video was well narrated with step by step explanations and instructions on the use of a breadboard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This is honestly gonna save my ass next class. The prof didn't explain breadboards at all but we use them all the time and my lab partner understands them about as well as I did before this video. Thanks for saving at least part of my grade.
Thanks so much for this video, I have been doing digitally circuitry recently and struggled to get my head around how certain components that didn't have a wire connecting them actually were connected, I assumed there were metal strips, but obviously I came to these video to actually realise the layout of the metal strips.
I am a Software Engineer (Bachelor Degree and years in the profession) an 2 colleges each never explained how to use a breadboard and just assumed we knew how they worked. Thanks for the basics. I am tired of hardware being a weakness of mine in personal electronic setups.
Hi, I’m about to start studying Computer Engineering, but I don’t know that much about the field. I was wondering, how do these things fit into the IT world? How can you apply this knowledge?
Finally an expert who can simplify complex topics to beginners like myself! Please write a book as it will surely be a best seller. Thank you very much.
Thank you for making something for beginners! Spoken very well - not too slow or too fast and includes common mistakes. This is a very clear explanation of how it works and what it will do! I am so grateful and my young students (who I cannot solder with) are going to benefit so much! I can't wait to get making with them!
That was an amazing video, for someone who is just starting out with digital electronics. I wish I had found it sooner! The only thing I would add is an explanation for the resistor, as I see others have asked this question as well.
Thanks! Resistors and Ohm's Law are a big enough topic that they sort of need their own separate videos. You may find these two videos helpful: th-cam.com/video/NUKD9qESO58/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ZdIBle_9Y_4/w-d-xo.html
The first time I have seen the bread board I think that I will never understand it. Put because your magnificent way in explaining things. You make it really really simple. Thanks man.
Guys you are awesome! You give very clear and easy to understand explanation and answering the question about the resistor's place in the circuit was very helpful! Keep the good work!
You can use ferrules on a stranded wire to create a imitation solid wire. Great tutorial by the way. Solid to the point, no faffing about, and common terminology.
and jokes aside , you explained it so well . i have seen a couple videos on breadboards but this is actually deep as well as quick . exactly what a tutorial should be like . and moreover , you respond to queries and explain them too . nice job sir .
“Your video was incredibly inspiring! I’m also creating content and trying to match the quality and creativity of your work. Thanks for setting such a high standard!”
People that were whining about the audio need to stop. It’s fine and focus on the information. You’re all a bunch of whiny divas. The audio in no way undermines the transmission of the information and I learned a lot here. People get more self centered and demanding every day I swear.
the best and easiest way of explanation, I wish you were teaching in my uni so I don't need to search online for these simple things which were looking hard in start!
best tutorial ever! about breadboards! thank you i just started a sculpture class that features arduino and basically we didn't get this kind of clear instruction. thx!
Starting my first project for fun, and this confirmed my suspicions on how a bread board works. Also the tips about polarity were important as they will save me some troubleshooting time.
This is the best tutorial I have ever watched very clear, you are able to explain things very well thank you this helped me a lot. You earned a new subscriber

It's better than a muddy mix. I've learned so much from your video, it's uncomplicated and you make it look easy thank you! :)
great video thanks buds but no post processing could save this audio haha :)
The voice is indeed a bit awful but after a minute I got used to it it's not a big deal. Thanks for the useful video!
It's fine. Btw thanks for explaining it so nicely.
hi... when using a 🍞 board, does it matter where u put the first component?

Coming from someone who has a bunch of stuff like this laying around the house with a crappy idea of how it works, I found this video extremely helpful.
Just what the doctor ordered. Lucid and well-illustrated, without irrelevant ramblings and blunders in the final product typical of other such videos.
Thank you! If you enjoyed this video you might also find our multimeter tutorial helpful: th-cam.com/video/ts0EVc9vXcs/w-d-xo.html
Very clear explanation, best tutorial I've found online :)
I have to agree with you on that one. Great work Science Buddies
I agree completely. Great video!

I'm trying to learn to do basic electronics on my own and this video was extremely helpful for me. Thank you for making it.
I watched a lot of videos related to Breadboard. None of them were clear except this one.
I don’t know how you did it, but you turned something that was hopelessly confusing to me into something I can understand the mechanics of and use in electronics projects.
Glad we could help!

Love how you explain the concept of stiff wires and why they should be used, and still open with the worst possible example of a breadboard circuit.
Thank you for a straight to the point and clear explanation, I could not get my head round this at school, thirty years later you given me the courage to once again have ago at electronics,
The tutorial was easy to understand and it explained how to avoid some common mistakes while setting circuits in them.
1:57 helped me understand breadboards a lot more! Thank you!
You're welcome, glad we could help!
Cannot express enough how helpful this has been, you're a legend in my book. Thank You Sir.
I've had to use breadboards for a year now and never felt like I really got it until this video. Thanks!
I like how you are show us it's raw form and not just going into the technical presentation. I also like that you have the history of the bread board. Very impressed! !!!
Watching this just an hour before my electrical laboratory session. Thanks for the great video!
This is a comprehensive and well made video. As a newcomer to electronics, this video was well narrated with step by step explanations and instructions on the use of a breadboard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I had the exact same issue!
This video is like a blessing, I now want to buy a breadboard and electric components so I can finally understand practically how circuts work.
Exactly my reasoning as well!
I actually don't deserve watching this without any cost...thanks for this awesome teaching!

Was incredibly confused with the default Arduino breadboard, genuinely the best and most hands down informational video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
This video got so much input but you presented it very well enough for newbies like me
Excellent. I've used BB for 30+ years but never understood them as well as your explanation. Thank you.

This was a genuine good tutorial and I've learned more here than on 4 websites combined.
I'm so happy I ordered what I did. I literally have everything in this video so I can actually learn something while putting it into practice.
That was an amazing video, for someone who is just starting out with digital electronics. I wish I had found it sooner! The only thing I would add is an explanation for the resistor, as I see others have asked this question as well.

From one beginner to another, the resistor in simple terms reduces the flow of electricity to the LED to prevent it being burnt out. Hope that helps.
Finally.. A video that clarifies each and every question that springs in students' minds while studying bread boards .
Thank You :)
This is the exact video I needed, thanks for explaining everything so clearly! The common mistakes portion saved me a ton of time
This was the best tutorial i have actually seen, and it's both simple to understand and really informative.
It's effortless to follow along the video, thank you very much for putting out interesting and easy to understand contents like this man!
Thanks! Best tutorial ever! Recommend for everyone with 0,00% of breadboard skills!!!! Worked very great!
New EE student here, love how concise this tutorial is! Can't wait to put my new knowledge to practice.

Before watching this video, I was jumping from here to there to understand the connections made in the breadboard. Great explanation!
I completed electronics course in engineering without knowng this. Thanks for this topnotch content 👌
What size resistor
@@dennzpowerlifting9152 The video description has it as 47ohm. But you also need to learn Ohm's law to figure these things out.
Thank you SO much you've made this stuff so much more digestable than anyone else for me so far- seriously appreciate it.
I feel like I’ve just come off a 12 minute phone call
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA Exactly!!🤣🤣🤣
Funny
The exact same thing 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Followed along with a breadboard I've had in my drawer for about a year without ever really getting round to learning to use. Now I have, thanks!!! :D
Simply excellent! Simple and clear, for a beginner like me. Thank you!
This is what youtube is actually made for, not meme review. Thank you sir
This video I needed immensely to starts my beginner journey in electronic circuit.
The first time I have seen the bread board I think that I will never understand it.
Put because your magnificent way in explaining things.
You make it really really simple.
Thanks man.
Guys you are awesome! You give very clear and easy to understand explanation and answering the question about the resistor's place in the circuit was very helpful!
Keep the good work!
Thanks!
Thanks so much. I'm taking Electronics for GCSE and had no idea how a breadboard was used or functioned and this helped a lot.
You have put together such concise information about breadboard that is comprehensive, even for beginners!
Thank you so much!
Dude!!! I cannot believe what I was doing wrong was so easy to fix the whole time! Thank you so much! Now I know better.
We're glad the video helped, Brandon!
well done chaps, excellent job at getting across a body of basic knowledge concise and in an entertaining way.
After watching several other videos, now I finally understand! Thank you for explaining this so thoroughly
This is the Most Detailed video I've ever watched...
