Electronics explained in a simple way
I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago.
There I built an electronic nose with Jose Ramos.
The video I made is a bit short and doesn’t go into the details.
But you’ll see how we solder a circuit that might look a bit advanced.

I wanted to meet electronics people, build cool projects, learn from others and make videos.
Today I published the second and final video from the trip.
[Read more…] about A Colombian Robot [VIDEO]Back in the days, when I was just a teenager, I remember reading about the “water analogy”.
Comparing electronics to water.
I didn’t like it.
Because I didn’t get it.
I found a lot of things that just didn’t make sense to me when thinking about circuits as water.
[Read more…] about The water analogy didn’t do it for meI’ve had a great time in Colombia.
Meeting family and friends.
And building electronics.
I’ll create and publish part 2 of the video blog as soon as possible.

This email contains a crucial piece of information.
There’s no need to waste time trying to understand how any circuit works before you get this:
The amount of current flowing out of a battery is the same as the current flowing back into it.
[Read more…] about What goes in, must come outAs a kid, I tried to see the delay between me flipping the light-switch and the light turning on.
“There must be a delay”, I thought to myself.
“Something has to travel from the switch to the light, right?”
But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t see any delay.
The light seemed to turn on exactly the same time I flipped the switch.
