Electronics explained in a simple way
Do you want to build a circuit that blinks a light? This inverter-based circuit is simple, and it’s small enough to fit a breadboard.
Apart from the inverter, it only uses standard basic electronic components.
Below you’ll find the complete circuit diagram and component list.

A breadboard is a really simple way to put together a circuit. You don’t have to solder, just plug in the components.
I love to use breadboards for testing out new circuits quickly.
You can build really cool things on the breadboard. For example, check out this color-changing lamp or this radar that detects my breath.
If you don’t know how to use a breadboard, don’t worry. It’s very easy.
Just check out my video:
I went to Berlin with Elias Bakken. It’s such a cool city.
We met up with Helen Leigh and Drew Fustini to eat kebabs, see homemade instruments, play artsy video games and learn about sewable circuits:
I just brewed myself a cup of coffee.
It’s morning, and I’m ready to take on a significant confusion. One that many beginners in electronics have.
Have a look at the following circuit:
The first instinct of many (including me many years ago) when trying to understand it is:

I often get the question:
“How can I learn to repair electronics?”
My response is:

The resistor and capacitor on the left of the inverter make up an RC delay element:
But how does the current flow in this circuit?
