Learn with Mxy
Добавлен 21 дек 2024
Learn beginner electronics with me! I'm filming my learning process through electronics, and I'd love for you to join me. If you're farther along than I am, I'd appreciate any help or guidance that you can offer in the comments for me & others.
The reason why I decided to record my learning is this: I recently got into simple machine building, & I thought it was such a fun experience to go from zero to "capable." I wish I had recorded the experience. Now that I'm doing basic electronics, I decided to film this one, both for my own archive and to share with others if it's helpful.
My background's more focused on programming, so some concepts are relevant compared to someone brand new.

Let's make some LED's blink! Supposedly the "hello world" of electronics, the astable multivibrator seems a bit too complicated for me to give it that name, but let's give it a shot!

Beginner Tests Capacitors (Fading LED) Beginner Learns Electronics Ep11 - How Capacitors Work
Просмотров 2467 дней назад
Instead of an LED turning off right away, we try to fade it out using a capacitor. I fail at first by putting the capacitor in series, but ultimately utilize a schematic and place the capacitor in parallel for a successful circuit! I didn't know that capacitors stop current when in series, upon reaching full charge. I will follow this video up soon with a part 2 when I do some research on the m...
Beginner Tests Diodes - Beginner Learns Electronics Ep10

Take a quick look at diodes, and test their effect. They only allow current to flow one way, which makes it very useful when you need to prevent current from flowing backwards, or to pick up current that is only flowing in the 'forward' direction. 00:00 Looking at the diode 01:20 Testing a circuit with a diode 01:50 Orienting the diode in the correct direction 02:00 How to know which way to pla...

Resistance helps protect components, as well as direct the flow of current. I do some practical examples and test circuits here to further my own experience and (hopefully!) illustrate some key concepts. 00:00 Let's use resistance to safely light an LED 00:22 What is an amp? 00:52 What is a milliamp (mA)? 01:20 How to read a power supply 02:55 What are ohms? 04:30 How to calculate current from ...
XOR Gate Step-by-Step - Beginner FAILS then Learns Electronics Ep9 - Logic Gates for Beginners
Просмотров 25214 дней назад
Behold the XOR Gate! It was more difficult than I initially thought. Combining the OR gate and the NAND gate into an AND gate created issues for me as I wasn't properly controlling the current / flow of electricity. This was by far the lesson that showed me how important resistance is in "tuning" a circuit. In this video I cover XOR theory, then plan the circuit, build the circuit, fail, test, ...

Beginner Makes AND Gate - Step-by-Step Logic Gates with NPN Transistors
Просмотров 23325 дней назад
An AND gate is made up of two transistors in series. They both depend on each other to complete the circuit, and are controlled by separate switches. The only part that's not clear for me at this point is how to use the output from the AND gate that I made. Using 2N3904 transistors here, with 3V power supply and 1Kohm resistors. I was hoping my first AND gate would work, because I could envisio...

How Binary Works - How to Read/Write the 1's & 0's with Examples

The basics on how to read (and write) binary. There's a mistake in here with my example of 65 there's a missing zero. I guess that just shows how binary is more prone to errors for us humans.
Make a Simple LED Circuit - Step-by-Step - Beginner Electronics
Просмотров 29Месяц назад
Making a simple LED circuit is the first thing I did when learning beginner electronics. The LED lets you know if you did it right (by lighting up), so it's the perfect start. I'm a beginner in electronics myself, and I'm live-recording everything I do as I try to learn. Everything I do is on breadboards, which make it really easy to adapt and change things on the go. If you're also a beginner ...
Beginner Learns How Logic Gates Work & Builds OR Gate - Step-by - Beginner Electronics Logic Gates
Просмотров 38Месяц назад
I know how logic gates work, but not (really) how to build them. In this case, I was able to get the OR gate working on my own, but the others are much more challenging for me. I hope it helps you if you need to learn how logic gates work, or to get an idea of the logic gate truth tables and how they all work together. It's incredible to think that all processing, calculations, and data access,...
Beginner Fails (Then Learns!) to Measure Voltage & Current - Step-by-Step Beginner Electronics
Просмотров 227Месяц назад
I finally learned how to measure voltage and current. I had to look up help online, as well as get help from a generous friend. The main key is voltage is measured in parallel, while current is measured in series. Good to know!
