  • thanks for this video series! very informative for a noob. Do you think you could do a vid with maybe a resister, diode, pot, led, and battery so we could see how they all fit together?

  • @kellerj0 Yes, I have some ideas in mind, I hope to get them out to you soon! I will do a building a power supply from scratch next, it will have the essentials, transformer, diode, resistor, and capacitor. Easy and cool stuff.

  • I don know anything about electronics andI have questions what if you hold it backwards does it say which side is right/left

    ex: It takes the voltage or whatever and it goes slower but in the meaning of from 5w to 2.5 like that

    So it slows whatever passes through it

see all

  • you read a resistor wrong

  • does it heat up or melt if you were to put say 2 or 3 of those battery packs through the resistor for that little led?

  • nice!!

  • and yeah, I have subbed and I hope to see more from you :)

  • I was looking for some channel which explains the basic of electronics

    thanks a lot :)
