    In this video I will show you the main applications for resistors in schematics. I will talk about current limiting resistors, voltage dividers, current shunts and other various tasks.

      +Werede I can certainly second that, while there are some good youtubers out there, not many are as straight to the point and as simple to follow as GreatScott videos.

      @JaqiesGadgets 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Werede Agreed! His personal style of building is so much like my own that he is the only one I support on patreon!
      However if Julian Ilett (check his channel out!) had patreon I would support him too.

    Because of those burning demonstrations, I feel very, very small to myself that I am just scavenging electrical components even the tiniest components. I'm not saying it's bad but people says that "it just cost little" and sadly, it cost much for me, especially I'm not capable to work and get salary because of my age. No all out support and no access at new stuffs, only old things and reused "customized" crappy pcb. So basically THANK YOU GREAT SCOTT for all those knowledge, I still managed to survive this passion of mine and doesn't know when will it last.

    • @wartoc3708
      @wartoc3708 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Taking stuff apart is a good way to learn how things work and how circuits are designed in the real world rather than a basic tutorial or schematic that assume optimal conditions. Reverse engineering is invaluable. Plus your soldering skills get better.

    • @fakiirification
      @fakiirification 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      nothing wrong with salvaging. There are tons of useful things to pull off even modern PCBs. why pay for it if you can harvest it from something destined for the landfill?
      Ive even successfully repurposed SMT logic and opamp ICs and voltage regulators pulled off things. They are a pain to get off without destroying, but that experience makes me better at working with the tools of the trade. plus, its just fun to see something work with "scrap" parts, even if you have to add in a few new parts with it.

  • @AlexandrePicotte1
    @AlexandrePicotte1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You are so helpfull! You vulgarize complicated stuff so well and we learn so much from your amazing project. Please dont stop what you are doing because a lot of future engineers are learning from you.

  • @anthonyvolkman2338
    @anthonyvolkman2338 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your videos are great! I enjoy watching tour vids even when I've known the information for years already and use it all the time on a daily basis, but every now and then you show something that I didn't notice before it at least it brings it back to memory to assist in current projects.
    Thanks for your excellent tutorials and informative videos.

    @PixelOutlaw 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was lucky enough to have a friend point out the need for resistor on the ground of a button or switch. Usually you just think of a switch as open or closed but you neglect thinking that that electricity needs to be grounded properly. Good point to cover it in a video.

    Hi Scott. I love your channel cause it's stuffed with information. The only problem is that you really shouldn't call this "basics" as I'm trying to learn electronics and find that after every 10 to 20 seconds of video, I google something and spend 10 to 20 minutes trying to grasp some concepts. So what I wanna say is that these "basics video's" are really more of a "table of contents".

    @nattybumpo2012 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello,
    just stumbled upon your site. It seems that you have done 100% of the work for all your various projects/labs. Have you considered putting together packages of the various components (as they relate to the projects), and selling them? Since the demise (for the most part) of Radio Shack, it's not as simple as it used to be to have electronic components within driving distance, so to have all the necessary items for your projects would be (in my opinion) a value added nicety.
    thanks again

    MicroWave Transformer... I was wonder if exposed wire portion end is also capsulate with same metal . will that make transformer more efficient? Or just a waste of material?
    What is the reason for EI shape? Why not small O inside big O shape? Or any other shape? Is EI plate just metal or some kind Simi conductor, what can I use to experiment with different shape?
