    Thanks so much for this video, I struggle so much with logic and schematics but love the building aspect. This has started to help me bridge that gap, excusing the pun. Cheers again

    Great beginner video,. A possible addition (especially for people with adhd...but should apply otherwise) is showing how to mark up a schematic as you populate the board so you can track what you have done and what you havent. I have done it with highlighters...I am sure there are myriad ways, but keeping track of what you have and haven't done is very important once complexity increases.

      Good suggestion Michael, Im early stages in the hobby and have to use pencil to keep track I'm only dreaming of using a highlighter when I dont make mistakes and need to rub out the pencil to start again lol!

    I’ve been building circuits from schematics since I was 16 building guitar effects pedals from sites like DMZ at during the advent of the internet.(22 years ago) This is not a quick or easy topic to explain. I commend you! Great job and keep rolling out the great videos.

    My gosh I wish someone like you Karen would've explained this to me when I was a child, my environment was that of a 3rd world country and after any written "explanations"(electronics by mail) every mind was left to figure out this vital interpretation part, the learning curve was immense depending on student learning style, so that being said my 11 year old got a link to your video, he is like me interested on all kinds of technical stuff, science and loves to experiment ever curious about mechanisms etc. The way you organize your videos seems easy but I know it is a lot of work despite you having a mind that flows like a river, thank you for sharing you are absolutely lovely...even with the creepy laugh😁😁

    I like to start with semiconductors and then place resistors and finally put other components around.
    This helps when you are working with things that get hot,for example mosfets or amplifiers.

  • @alanazevedo6545

    I had my electronics students build this, and the 3V DC hobby motors we use for other projects just wouldn't work. They need about 600 mA at 3V to spin. I increased the voltage supply to 5V, but the motor just barely moved, and that was with some help from Mr. Hand, and eventually the PNP transistor overheated and that was that. I replaced it and swapped out the motor for an LED/resistor and it worked just fine. No heat issues and the light popped on and off with voice input. My question is, what motor were you using that didn't require more current at 3V than the PNP transistor could supply? Thanks for all your videos. They are very well done.

  • @Proximo011

    Thank you! I don't know if I can do it like this at school, exactly like this, with the wire bending I mean, they want us to make channels with soldering and connecting them together, guess to enhance our soldering, but I´m using this at home for my own projects... soldering boards can be a head twister when you're always turning the board over, whilst following a schematic:
    evenings after a work day, with homework of 6 courses a week, woking from 5 and schoold from 6-10:20... I feel like I think a new parent would be feeling :Þ Always tired, and can't think straight.

    Nice video and very well explained. Minor critique: You showed how Fritzing could be used to make a nice layout (a bit too briefly, as this feels like an essential part of translating a schematic into a circuit) but then it seems you never really used that layout and instead just followed the schematic.

  • @tglenn3121
    @tglenn3121 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for this video. I'm wondering if you might also have any video that explains why components of a given rating might be used instead of the same component of a different rating. For example, why a resistor of a given rating would be used instead of a resistor of another rating, or a diode of one rating used instead of a diode of another rating.
    This is what I also have trouble grasping.

    On a "lighter note", while bread-boarding (solder-less) a simple circuit (beginner level) from a schematic , it seemed natural to place the physical layout exactly like the schematic diagram. A person (shall I say of authority) told me I was wrong and wanted me to replace the components all adjacent to each other because a beginner needs to learn a "schematic diagram represents concepts and ideas" . So after that, while placing the components adjacent to each other , another person (shall I again say of authority) told me on a beginners level "a picture is worth a thousand words" and wanted me to replace my components to resemble the schematic diagram. Both people were very intelligent and both presented valid views , but shows in a humorous way how subjectivity can exist (even among the pundits) in a field we perceive with "objective truths".

    • @ggermany2123
      @ggermany2123 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      When I started out, I did like the diagram and placed the components on the pcb board. I got a little creative with a new design on the breadboard because some components are limited on the positions that it can be placed on the board.

    Can you do a video of how to design PCB board schematics enough to buy PCB Board you design? Because honestly, this is great content to understand fundamental and applicable understanding of using electronics and ICs. It would be great to have a video using software like Fritzing or Eagle for PCB Board design for beginners.

    My goal is to identify the functions of the devices in a given circuit diagram?
    Or spoken more general.
    How can I lean this general skill?
    When do I see a random circuit diagram that I can recognize the devices and their functions?
    What is the best strategy to acquire this skill?
    Do you know good information recourses specially designated to acquire this skill?
    I do not want to handcraft things on my own and I do not want to study at a university to acquire a bachelor's degree in electrotechnology.
    I just want to be able to read more or less the circuit diagram.
    Thank you in advance

    Can you do this video with free wires instead of the board with holes in it? I can’t see what’s going on. Also, I can’t tell where you are on the schematic and how it applies to the physical items that you’re connecting. Do you have a video that explains that? The commenters are liking what they see but I can’t say since I don’t know what you’re doing.
