Safety First
Working with electricity brings with it two big dangers: the risk of being electrocuted and the risk of starting a fire. There is always the risk of causing a short circuit between the two poles of a battery when you are creating electric circuits, which can very quickly generate a lot of heat as the current flows uncontrollably between the two poles. If you smell burning, or if any part of the circuit feels hot, disconnect the battery immediately.

555 Timer Bistable (Flip-Flop) Breadboard Circuit
In this short video, we examine how to use a 555 Timer Integrated Circuit (IC) in bistable, or flip-flop, mode.
In bistable mode, the output from Pin 3 can be in one of two stable states: either stable high or stable low.
Whether the output is high or low is determined by two push buttons: S1 and S2. When S1 is pressed, the output goes high and the LED is switched on. It stays in this state until S2 is pressed, which sends the output low and switches off the LED.
Flip-flops are simple memory circuits that are cable of storing a single bit of data, which can be either High (On or 1) or Low (Off or 0). Flip-flops can be combined to create registers, which in turn can be used to store data or t...

Using an NPN Transistor to Build a NOT Gate on a Breadboard
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
This short video shows how you can easily build a NOT gate on a breadboard using discrete electronic components. Here, we switch a BC547 NPN transistor on and off to control whether an LED is illuminated or not. When the switch, S1, is open, the LED is ON. When the switch is closed, the LED is OFF. If you don't have a BC547 transistor to hand, just use a different NPN BJT with similar specs.

Electrician and electrical instructor here... That's not a rheostat, it's a potentiometer. A rheostat has 2 leads, a potentiometer has three. A potentiometer is used adjust and divide voltages, while a Rheostat is used to vary the amount of resistance in a circuit. Certainly, one can use a "pot" as a rheostat by not connecting the one of the outside leads, but it's still a pot.
sir why have you limited yourself upto only 32 videos and why your .com doesnot work
CONGRATULATIONS; IS THE BEST EXPLANATION TO DIFFERENT CURRENTS FLOW IN PNP-NPN TRANSISTORS.
real newbie here: what's making the DC motor turn in the 5th example?
The Ice =7V/ 470 Ω = 14,9mA. Usually we take 1/10 for Ib (basecurrent). So R2 = (UR2= 9V-2V-0,7V)/1,49mA= 4228 Ω (or 4K3) would be the best choise in my opinion to get the transistor fully saturated.
Can I also plug it into the socket with a plug and then plug it into the MB102 with the USB-C?
Appreciate you sharing this video as I haven’t used this type of P.S. in nearly a year. Especially enjoyed your demonstration at end of the video. De AA4SH
Good
Great video Thanks for sharing.
I recently purchased a miscellaneous pack of components, which included a breadboard and the board shown here. There were no instructions with the pack, and this video has shown me all I needed to know.
thank you for the info....
when i only press the B button it turns on but dark
How can I get 9V's out of this bad boy?
I like what you're doing here. Please feel encouraged to add more narration on the breadboard sections, for example why you used the resistors you did and why that affects where the current goes.
Thank you😂😭
I would like to see your calculations for Current in Base and Emitter. The Beta seems really high, or am I miscalculating?
Yes enjoyed a lot. Thank you for considering to start from simple
I've been interested in electronics for a while now, but just made my first LED circuit thanks to your video! Thank you!
Thank you very much. I needed to know how to power it and you have provided me the info :) have a good day
Interesting video. Too bad you used the AI voice.
Just a quick note to say thanks for taking the tine to do all these. Im not absolute beginner but still find your 'short' sessions useful
This breadboard power supply can supply very less current. If we draw higher current then the SMD resistors on the module gets heated up. You can check...
I did the same design but i used two resistors of the same ohm value but im confused why LED 1 is still brighter than LED 2?
Rad man! I'll have what I need to build robots in no time!
Thanks, just got mine this morning. Bent pins all over the place out of the box! I think customer services need a few photos tbh! Subscribed! 😎 It's a shame you don't use your own voice. Unless you don't speak English and use Google translate for your scripts. Or maybe you have problems with your voice? (I have no legs below the knee so I know how it is!) Keep safe mate 😀
Bent pins is a shame 😭.
14.7k resistance… did not work… I used 470 ohm
Thank you
this is dumb if the transistor is the switch then why do you need a mechanical switch to turn it on and off for
Hi Richard - the idea of the circuit is to show that if you apply a small current to the Base of the transmitter, this then turns on the transmitter to allow current to flow from the Collector to the Emmiter. I take your point though. It might have been better to say that pressing the button allows current to flow through the transistor, rather than saying it switches on the transistor.
@@quickstartworkbook1532 actual the voltage turns the transistor on and current flows from emitter to collector
@@richardstephens-fd8jc in an npn transistor the current flows from the Collector to the emitter, and from the emitter to the collector in a PNP.
@@quickstartworkbook1532 current flow is from negative to positive current is made up of electrons conventional is positive to negative
@@richardstephens-fd8jc electron flow vs conventional current flow.... well that's an interesting conversation in itself 🙂
I have used the 555 for so many projects over the years. One project was a water sensor to turn my bilge pump in my sail boat. This was in 1994 water sensing bilge pumps where not on the market at the time. Rule came out with one in 1997. I used the trigger function on the 555 to sense the salt water and this turned on a power transistor that powered the pump. Simple and reliable. 😁🛫
That sounds like a great project.
This is cb configuration right ?
can you please hellp me, which kind of transistor you used
BC547 BJT
Why does it have to be 470 ohms not 350 ohms
350 would have been absolutely fine. I just used a slightly bigger resistor just to build a bit of additional safety into the circuit so that it would be perfectly safe with any LED. Cheers, John
HI. Can this thing power a 16 channel servo driver on one side and a nano on the other? Trying to find a way to power about 3 or 4 micro servers using the pca9685 which requires its own power supply and a nano which as you know needs its own also. Trying to make a project i can put together that can just be plugged in with one cord. Thank you.
That's an interesting question. In theory, I would say yes. Why not give it a go.
read the datasheet for the reg1ulator.
My circuit isn’t working and I can’t figure out why
Which of the two circuits are you trying to build?
@@quickstartworkbook1532 Ive tried both, think it’s my sensors that aren’t working
2:00 with this barrel jack, is the center positive or negative ?
The positive terminal is in the centre of the jack. The outside casing is negative.
@@quickstartworkbook1532 Gracias friend :)
I don’t understand the transistor…doesn’t the PIR already act as a switch like in the first circuit?
The problem with the first circuit is that the output from the pir sensor wasn't really powerful enough to properly illuminate the LED. If I remember correctly, it was only about 3mA, and you need something more in the region of 10mA at least. So what I decided to do was to use the 3mA is switch on a transistor which then allows current to flow directly to the LED without going through the sensor. Basically, the sensor isn't capable of driving a device itself, but is perfect for providing a small current to switch on a transistor.
Great thank you
why you not put led in same switch vcc roll what main point of transis .on off should doing plug battery and unplug zzzz.
when I connect two leds on a breadboard they do turn on but very dim i am using a 470 resistor as in the video. Not sure what I am doing wrong
If the LEDs are dim, try using a smaller resistor. The voltage drop across will vary for different LEDs. It will generally be between 2 and 3 volts. So for a 9 v battery, and three LEDs you might not need a resistor at all, or you might need a small one. I suggest using a 470 ohm resistor because that is plenty bi enough, but you could probably go smaller.
In the MB-102 schematics, the USB power line is connected after the 5V regulator (but before the 3.3V regulator). So when this module is powered from the USB port, all "5V" voltage pins have the actual USB voltage. In your example with a 9V battery connected to USB, the breadboard probably gets 9V.
Have you measured the voltage with a multimeter? Next time I'm back in my lab I'll take a few measurements myself to see what I get. Cheers, John
@@quickstartworkbook1532 I did not test yet! I received 2 MB-102 last week but they are already dead. The first because I accidentally shorted the 3.3V output (bad idea) and the second started smoking after about 1 hour while doing almost nothing. That was probably a defective one (or a problem with my 12V old DC power supply?). In both cases, I measured that the 3.3V rail was getting around 10V (from 12V DC). I was quick to react and my raspberry pi pico seems fine. Anyways, I ordered a few more with a 9V DC power supply.
@@cynodont7391 I have heard of similar problems with MB-102 PSUs, whereby the voltage supplied to the rails is more than it should be. I think the quality of the product can vary quite a bit.
@@quickstartworkbook1532 Well, that was 10V after the failure. For my next batch, I will let them run a few hours with a few leds and resistors before I connect my precious RPI pico.
@@quickstartworkbook1532It's madness because a simple jig at each packing station would let them test it pdq! Akin to how they used to test incandescent bulbs. (Damn! I felt old typing that last sentence!😆)
You are using a physical switch, this does show the use of transistor as a switch as I am looking for transistor as a switch and your video.
The physical switch is just used to apply a small current to the base of the transmitter to switch it.on. if I removed the physical switch, there would always be current going to the base so the transistor would always be on. Cheers, John
Thanks. It would be very interesting a circuit about how to build a timer for this kind of sensor. Keeping the lights on for a certain amount of time like 2-5 minutes
Some motion sensors enable you to set the amount of time the signal stays high for. I've got one set up in my shed so that the LEDs stay on for about 3 minutes. I used a 12v battery with 4 LEDs and no resistor.
If I add 10 LEDs, does that change the resistor?
Hi Marie Claire. Yes it does. Each LED has a voltage drop across it of about 2v. Therefore, if you use a 6v battery, for example, and you have 3 LEDs, you won't need to use a resistor at all (3 x 2v). With 10 LEDs, you would need a 20v battery, so not really practical. I have 4 10mm white LEDs connected to a 12v battery, and that works ok. Each LED has a voltage drop of about 2.8v, so I'm not using a resistor in the circuit. Cheers, John
@@quickstartworkbook1532 Thank you very much for that, I did find another one of your videos that showed me how to do it with multiples!
Change biased voltage or variable ressistor or change PNP to npn or vice versa or ultrasound reset electrical routing...that is why it cost a bank to run big business maintenance cost
Great!!
Very helpful kindle book and video ,thanks.
Thanks very much for your feedback Jimi. Cheers, John
I can make the circuit work with 2 LEDs, but when I try to add more none of them light up. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I check and recheck to make sure my components are plugged into the right holes, I confirm the LEDs are working. Yet when I add more than 2 I get nothing. So frustrating.
Each LED has a voltage drop of about 2v. So, if you have 3 LEDs, powered by a 6v battery, you don't need to use a resistor. If you have 3 LEDs and a 9v battery then you would need to use a small resistor, say something around 150 ohms. Try reducing the size of the resistor you are using. Keep reducing the size until the LEDs come on. Cheers, John
what if I want the transistor to act as a switch for a different power source?
I cannot be the only one who discovered these great tutorials.
Why is one resistor larger than the other?
R1 is there to protect the LED so needs to be in the region of 470 ohms. You could go a bit smaller, but if you go too small, you run the risk of burning out the LED. R2 is ther to reduce the current to the base of the transmitter. You could use a much bigger resistor here if you wanted too, say, 10k. If you go too big, there won't be enough current to switch on the transistor. You could go smaller as well because the base of the transmitter can cope with quite a large current range.
Thanks!
