Electronics explained in a simple way
If yes, keep this in mind:
Building a circuit and understanding a circuit are two different skills.
And you can learn one without the other.
As a kid, my dad taught me how the relay works. That helped me understand a simple circuit to blink a light. And we built it together.

How can a bird sit on a power line with thousands of volts and not get electrocuted?
When I was a kid, I learned that it’s because “the current takes the path of least resistance”.

We designed a cool display using 90 LEDs!
But, one of the first things that happened was this:
Almost everybody got different errors in the software we were using; KiCad.

It’s a workshop I decided to call Make Your First Printed Circuit Board.
The idea is that the members go through the whole process of designing a simple circuit board:
[Read more…] about The cool thing we’re doing inside OhmifyDo you want to build a circuit that blinks a light? This inverter-based circuit is simple, and it’s small enough to fit on a breadboard.
The circuit uses standard basic electronic components and you can build it even if you have never built anything before. Check out the full build instructions in the video below:
Scroll down to find the complete circuit diagram, component list, and step-by-step instructions (in text-form) on how to build this circuit.

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.
