Electronics explained in a simple way
About 20 years ago, I soldered my first circuit.
It was a blinking light bulb made with relays.
That was a lot of fun.
And I can still remember the excitement of seeing the light blink for the first time.
Back then I had no idea about soldering irons.

My friend Elias and I built a new circuit.
It’s a little gadget with 90 LEDs that form a display.
You can connect it through USB to program the display to do fun things.
We’ve built one before, but this was a new version with a new microcontroller.
Now we had soldered the circuit.

More than 15 years ago, I was sitting in the basement of my parents’ house.
A friend and I were soldering LEDs.
The smell of melted solder was surrounding us, and Eminem’s album “The Marshall Matters LP” was pumping from the speakers.
We were really enjoying ourselves.
I’m seeing signs of spring today.
After traveling from place to place for the last few months, I’m now back in Norway.
The sun is out and the birds are singing.
A bit cold, but beautiful.
And I’m looking forward to settling down here for a bit and reestablish my day-to-day habits.

I invited a fellow electronics enthusiast to develop a course on Ohmify.
Roberto from Developpa is an expert in many things, one of them is simulating circuits.
[Read more…] about New course: How to simulateI 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.
