Collin's Lab: Switches

[zloben9000]

that guy is sooo BAD ASS

[reaper00020]

One example of a device that has alot of switches, but doesn't use a membrane, is a mechanical keyboard, such as the IBM model M, or razer black widow. They use tactile switches.

[sweettooth80]

do you have a vid on how to build the little bord that u was holdin????

[SuperAhmed1337]

Switches and no word about contact bounce and how to get rid of it. I mean, really? Switches are straight forward for electric use, but not so straight forward when you want to actually build some digital equipment.

[jvegaperry]

@SuperAhmed1337 Relax dude, i know your point, but you could be a little more polite and that comment could be a great constructive critic for improvement, now i read it and is kinda rude, im no expert on electronics, but i follow this channel to learn stuff, maybe not "professional electronic engineer deep stuff" but i think is great for peolpe that just wanna learn, first things first.

Don't get me wrong either, i'm not trying to bother you or be rude.

[darth123197]

are momentary switches used in keyboards?

[darth123197]

@darth123197 oops jk

[cocacolafan98]

3:58 thats the switch from the wiimote (the largest one) but black color

[CountdeAll]

@makemagazine hi collin i was wondering if maybe some time you would make a keyboard out of that membrane maybe one you can use with your hands instead of the keys

[KX36]

Who else here spent half an hour trying to find the right place for all the keys on their keyboard the first time they took it apart and accidentally turned it over letting them fall all over the floor? Just me? :D

[MacMilanTheBest]

Collin is the brother of Chuck Norris

[justin18349]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON COLLIN I'VE EVER SEEN!

[Richiezhang880]

Cool!

[tbsys31061]

booleans :D

[deniskenn]

i wanna know everything collin knows

[robot797]

@deniskenn i know 2/3 of what he knows

[david99soad]

@deniskenn guess you'll have to study electronics engineering to achieve that... ;)

and don't forget the license A and licence B if you want to use your skills and knowledge at home or at work... happy learning XP

[AMS3000]

Sweet video! I have a question: I have a slide switch I wanted to use as a power supply, but I can't tell which pin is for what! It has 3 pins on it, and a mark indicating pin 1. Is there a standard way they are set up? I melted a breadboard testing it out with and LED - what is up with that!

[denilsonsa]

@AMS3000 Suggestion: use a multimeter! :) Really, the multimeter is the right tool for inspecting a circuit or some components.

Also, LEDs blow up if connected directly to a power supply; you need to put a resistor to limit the current.

[Blackdavid2011]

rubber material,lalalalala but no conductive material

[Blackdavid2011]

why you have to complicate every easy circuit with breadboards and shits?

[spilperson]

@bamahacker01 Why would you think that is spam? I just like Collin, jerk. I wish he would make more videos.

[bamahacker01]

@spilperson I'd like too, but that dows not require to spam his videos. No offense meant...

[bamahacker01]

@bamahacker01 *Does

[wyllmRox]

and rocker switches that totally rock.... and rock back and forth. that's really all they do.

[myguitardidyermom12]

I love esoteric switches, I could fill a whole curio cabinet with weird and exotic switches and just look at them all day.  the right switch and knobs can make even the most mundane of devices interesting.

[Mrimagangster]

thumbs up if your subscribed for kipkay and collins videos

[DarkAvatar1313]

@Mrimagangster

I don't think Kipkay works with Make anymore, but he has his own channel.

[manopacs11]

Obviously, its all about switches..

[MrHack4never]

Isn't the most vital thing in electronics power???

[evilbore]

Nice *switch* of pace. :D These seem to be taken for granted too much.

[steve6375]

what about reed switches - they are cool!

[computergeekonshow]

u rock

[Judahmangi]

My keyboard is made of yelly!

[Jcbproducoes]

what about dimmer's aren't those switches?

[PieXNinja]

@Jcbproducoes No, they're usually potentiometers.

[maticauthon]

@Jcbproducoes They are a type of slider switch usually, but you can find them in rotary switches also.

[bohdan1997]

Can someone please tell him to make a video explaining how radio controlled circuits work like in rc cars and then maybe he could do an experiment.

[Ungmonable]

you remind me of an agent from matrix

[1zg]

Pause at 4:34 and look at his face

[aboOSHAN]

@1zg

Yes he looks very happy

[alejosky]

Could you please, very please, make a perpetual motion machine?!?! I know you can :3

[modgemtb]

@alejosky i actually can!

[rampike74]

can you get a little bit Kipakyish? (use it for something)

[thevectorfilms]

what kind of led was that?

[moosefarms]

i love switches. always pulling apart old electronics for switches, motors, and gears.

[bigchad007]

Collin for president!

[davidjereb]

So no word about MBB or BBM types of switches? Pathetic.

If you are making a tutorial about something as basic as a switch, at least cover the subject thoroughly.

[mickycheese27]

MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edwardholmes91]

You forgot to mention centre stable toggle switches and biased toggle switches :P

[forestsandman]

I used to not like electronics and Colin makes it cool, in a very boring way. But I like the boring, its a paradox.

[BaronZombie]

Collin's Lab is awesome!

[bretticio]

this guy rocks

[gooseboard2]

i like the information in these videos but i feel like the delivery could be faster and more crisp. maybe more jump cuts?

[johny344]

More Videos PLEASE!!!! They're awesome

[jamescatania]

"wwaaala lalalala a" wobbly !!

[MrGhosty1992]

nice

[Benivey2]

What about a dimmer switch?

[chrisxdeboy]

@Benivey2 that's usually not a switch, its actually a variable resistor.

[debit256]

i actaully learned something

[robman2100]

Thanks this helped me with a project. im new to the ebedded electronics world and needed to know a few things about switches.... :)

[gtamasta711]

he said eh at the end

dem canadians eh?

[chibikawaiichris]

You prove that things are as only as complicated as you make them.

[Mariolover24]

I liked the video but I had one of thoes "uuuuugh" moments when he broke out the cheesy rocker switch joke.

[supermatthew222]

I want to make a control panel for a flight simulator with thousands of switches like toggles, press buttons, and rockers.

[Zone51]

What about reed switches? :D

[VacolocoSynth]

Well presented (I spotted a gorf sequencer there too).

[MCJustme]

@Collin You should make you own albums with your music. The only hard part would be naming the songs and albums.

[Tomongdong]

So what are switches and how many types are there?

[qwertyboy1234567899]

what about reed switches?

[CampKohler]

DiP = Dual Inline Package (not pin).

That's one weird paddle toggle with the OFF position on top. (Google images "switch on off" to see how most switches are labeled.) It must be from Australia, where everything is upside down. :-)

[Brusier47]

@souonicko Are you going to make that happen if not gtfo you "thumbs up" whore.

[higingbotham]

@makemagazine & @Colin

Do you guys allow use of your videos in a classroom environment?

[BenLeeImp]

Gah! You forgot to mention microswitches, commonly used in arcades and large format game controllers! They are my favorite switch! Curse you Collin!!!!

[themakingofstuff]

@makemagazine i make my own switches!:) being a maker i try to make all my things myself other than using manufactured stuff. whats great about being a maker if you dont try to make everything from scratch! :)

[TehBANN3D]

@themakingofstuff Do you also mine your own raw materials and refine them to make conductive wire? Did you build your own powerplant/wind farm/solar farm from scratch so you could harvest your own electricity?

[themakingofstuff]

@TehBANN3D haha your a literal arnt you? im 16 so no not yet but most of my stuff that i can make i do but as of right now i do not harvest my own electricity , that will come later on in life....

[lordt1111]

My favourite switch is the left click of my mouse. it gives me access to minecraft, memebase, youtube and best of all, porn.

[Tamazon19]

@lordt1111 w00t minecraft!

[tomek123kotek]

there are the on off type switches, and the network type switches, for a second there i was thinking you were thinking about the second type of switch

[linolarios]

PHILL COLLINS SON ITS GOOD!

[Fekillix]

Collin you're a true maker, keep up the good work! Teach us the basics like Relays!

[ASURMlN]

Maybe you can make someting using any type of switch in one Project. :D

That would be great.

But of course, why does anything use so many switches?

[Kresjan6]

colins videos are awsome

[marcuelcajon]

Nice.

[KevinKayotic]

REMOTE SERVOS!! :D

[Knight8365]

Where would we be in the push button society without switches

[pietzeekoe]

the unsung hero

[Skwigle]

YAY!

[shango02005]

What? None of the usual comments about "thumbs up if you subbed for Collin's Lab Vids!" ?? lol

[alexinouterspace1]

you make such great videos, but you seem REALLY uncomfortable on camera.

[Death2662]

@alexinouterspace1 either he's nervous in front of a camera, or he's usually like that. but of course he doesn't act like that when he's explaining off the camera... maybe that's why he doesn't make a lot f videos.

[LauxHawk]

@alexinouterspace1 I think he's doing that on purpose.

[solidsnake7205]

faça um vídeo sobre NEON'S

[g3rrar1]

does the double pole double throw switch creates a parallel association in the circuit?

[aboOSHAN]

no one like KiPKaY

[MrJohhhnnnyyy]

@aboOSHAN I agree, but this guy is not bad too

[jozzu]

Yes! A Collin video, at last. :)

[g3rrar1]

awesome! another video by collin. thanks alot!

[mondalaci]

No, you don't need this "keyboard". You need a real keyboard - that is, a mechanical one.

[Ledrey]

Great video, Colin is awesome.

[Michiel313]

I nerded all over the floor

[MichaelKavanaghIT]

Colin should have his own channel, thumbs up if you agree!

[7NEOMAN]

Colin is sooo boring, has anyone ever seen him laugh Or do something exiting?

thumbs and pickles please

[kylehere123]

@7NEOMAN do something exiting? EXCITING. And I disagree... Collins Lab and Hobby robotics makes MAKE.

[7NEOMAN]

@kylehere123 what I mean is that his voice is so monotone and he looks soo sleepy all the time, bores me to death. but his vids are interesting only he isn't.

[CuriousGuy95]

@ExplosivetipStudios relay is a switch which is toggled by electricity

[DJNewEra1992]

I love your attitude! Great vids!

[skm21]

hold 9 for collins sex face =]

[ExplosivetipStudios]

Isn't a relay a switch?

[ibrahimalghamdi94]

I don't understand anything about electronics. But I like to watch this guy!

[iLoveEatingPie]

I love this guy.

[marioaleal]

Funny, I just did a lab about switches...

[paxmowa]

Man, that's one cheapo keyboard right there... Now let's talk FPGAs

[weelord1234]

Now Entering: Nerd Tavern.

[MinecraftPeopleAu]

Like this comment so they see the next message

We want Colin we want Colin we want Colin we want colin

[Aleksandar998]

MORE COLLIN NEEDED !!!! !!!!

[lennart0106]

hahaha video, music, BOOLEANS: collin cunningham. he's so fucking awesome.

[scientist375]

pls accept my invite on fb (Facebook)

[drumatic86]

Powernerd ;-)

[CALLIKABT]

Collin time for logic elements like MUX or something !

[PusherHun]

Well done.

[jekader]

went doing something with switches on my keyboard and mouse 8-)

[STRATOS13PAO]

COLLIN IS THE ONLY REASON THAT A DONT UNSUBSCRIBE

[xzaz2]

Relais ?

[MrWp97]

you are awesome. more!!

[LittleJohnEnterprise]

greate 

[peterk202]

Thumbs up is your subbed to Make coz of Collin

[francisroan]

this was boring ....usually collin mkaes everything complicated thats y i like it but this one took a lot of time and its all basic stuff .....

[bendertherobotmuzzy]

so...

[mrjimmyos]

I think I will do something with switches right now :D Awesome video

[mondays89]

Collin is absolutely awesome!!!! Make Magazine has gone a long way since I first subscribed, in fact, his video was the first one I saw from Make Magazine and the reason I decided to subscribe! If Collin made his own channel, I would subscribe without question.

[nimbuw]

I liked the part with the switch!!!

[85soon85]

zzzzz

[CapumOfOuttaSpace]

or don't.. lol that part cracked me up

[Shurick92]

i want that collin Cunningham make his own TANK !

[Whisper6911]

dude upgrade your dmm!

seriously, its like the cheapest one on all of ebay :P

[Intosia]

GORF Sequencer! :D

[simonjack0071]

Collin's Lab is cool :D

[abenjani]

An interesting video that taught me something. If only all make videos were like these

[plazmafeld]

I will make a switch panel, if you get some super strut framing a welder an lots of sheet metal so i can build a saucer frame to put my switches

[sobeboyzz]

He looks kinda like Hugo Weaving.

[TehBANN3D]

I was talking to a friend about applications of high pass filters and remote controls and we were wondering how most remote controls handle denouncing? Do they have the micro controller limit input speed? Or is there an RC circuit connected to the switch? Or maybe something completely different. I guess I might just pick up a remote from goodwill and find out myself.

[Ambrose4e]

lol



[Howtotutorialz1]

PLS know someone, which program he use for drawing the switches and more ?

[nathanallan1]

switches are definitely a necessary part of things, and I love me some rotary switches.

[Bobbyshew0825]

this guy is awkwardly funny...i like it! MOAR PLEEEZ!

[Shannariano]

I was hoping to see electrical switches like in our homes where you can turn on the light with a switch and turn it off with another one. never figured out how they worked

[DarkPrince013]

Ooo 6 people worship totem pole gods....

[cattnipp]

you forgot the arduino

[CrysisLTU2]

Now make a video about ribbon cables and flat ribbons!

[BriteRavenPictures57]

COLLIN PLEASE MAKE YOUR OWN CHANNEL :D

[gudenaurock]

I learned most of this from mr. wizerd, or how it is spelled...

[1337BananaL33TVostok]

collin quit makemagazine they suck start upload at your own channel

[heyandy889]

I lurve electronics w Collin

[830sxz]

Diacs, Triacs, and SCRs please :D

[AxelTiger]

We wanna know about pot... err pots! yes pots! :p

[Scatmanbrandt]

One thing I need to hack is the wireless remote for my car. It uses the membrane switch but I would rather have standard momentary switches because they're more reliable and harder to press in my pocket.

[Nigg4j4ck]

Make a video about relays!

[Repter75]

Definately, we need logic gates

[TehBANN3D]

@Repter75 > MAKE presents: The Transistor



[ARIESxSTORM]

i know this guy looks like a nerd, but damn it hes cool!

[heimederijme12345678]

go collin

[unusua]

Out of all the current personalities on the Make team, I'd have to say I like Collin's the best :D
