Electronics explained in a simple way
Two weeks ago, we were instructed (as in most of the world these days) to self-isolate. My plans to fly down to Spain and build a kitchen had to be discarded.
But a wonderful thing happened instead:
I suddenly had time to build a new project!
[Read more…] about The dangers of learning electronicsIn this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build an automatic night-light that turns on when it gets dark. It’s a simple circuit that you can build on a breadboard.
This circuit shows you how to do it with an LED. But you can use the same principle to turn on bigger and brighter lights too.
Find the breadboard diagram and parts list below the video.

“I know the basics, and I’ve built a few circuits. But I have no idea how the build my own ideas!”
That’s a common problem.
However, here’s how you solve it.
[Read more…] about Not sure how to build your idea? Here’s how:Electric current is what you get when electric charge moves around a circuit. It’s pretty simple when you finally get it. But there are some common pitfalls that can give you the wrong idea when learning.
And if you don’t know what current is and how it works, it’s a huge source of confusion when learning electronics.
My goal is that after reading this article, you’ll understand what current is. And you’ll understand that a resistor must have the same amount of current going into it as going out from it.

This is Oyvind checking in from Valencia in Spain.
In the last few weeks, I’ve been busy recording podcasts, designing circuits, and creating electronics courses for Ohmify.

I like to create sound.
It’s one of my favorite things to do with electronics.
To create sound you need to make a circuit that creates a voltage that goes up and down very fast.
