@@mykasiurka So you "heard some great things" and go around recommending I watch that and have all the info for me? Sad you need likes that much, I'll make sure not to look it up.
A little comment on the resistor values: When I started first building of schematics, notations like "4K7" or "6k8" confused me a lot, and took me some research to understand. As it turns out, the little dot (or comma) in 4.7kOhm easily gets lost when you don't write that neat, thus resulting in someone using a 47k resitor instead. To prevent that, they choose to place the 'extra' symbol (kilo, mega, etc.) between the full and decimal numbers. So 4.7kOhm becomes 4k7, 6.8kOhm becomes 6K8 and so on.
Thank you very much! I am glad people as yourself share your experience that you obviously spent your time studying on this particular subject! You are a very kind person. Thanks again! Gary Bounds, mechanic for 50 years.
I've forgotten all the stuff I used to know, from 30 years ago, when I took high school electronics for 2 years. Thanks for these videos. I like having those old memories prodded to the front of my brain.
I love it when a plan comes together. There's nothing better than when a person knows something & can explain it & make it simple for a beginner to learn. Even rocket science can be broken down & explained.
About to start a electrical technician job and haven't looked at a schematic in 11 years. Thank you for helping knock some of the rust off. The video is to the point and a very good refresher.
Excellent...I have a high end amplifier I'm wanting to fix myself. I've already replaced the power supply capacitors and all the relays but I've reached the end of my knowledge and understanding. This helped a ton, and now I feel like I can actually find enough information and learn how to fix it. I found a schematic for $6 online, now I have a much better idea what I'm looking at. I've built a few crossovers for speaker kits, so I had a basic understanding, but this short video cleared up a lot of questions I already had.
fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeahhhhh, finally somebody knowledgeable enough to go back to the fundamentals. Its like cooking metaphorically speaking, once you understand the platform, and develop a baseline, building from that comes easily. Trying to remember parts over and over become redundant in never convincing the circuit simplicity! Thank you so much! means a lot, should have millions of views, should be taught in schools, goddam!!! :D
Sir, I've got a 1985 Toyota Mr2 that has a MULTITUDE of electrical ghosts. You have just taught me how to read the wiring schematics I need to fix her up. You dun good sir, many thanks from a classic Toyota and it's owner!
Thank you sir, for the video, I know electrical but I'm can't understand schematics, so to me the way you explain it's great you simplified way low & that helped me
thank you for the video l was a radio ham in the 80s but now retired and disabled l am finding my back into making small project just made two FM radios fro kits and they work well. All the best from Allan in stoke on Trent UK
That was Awesome overall, covered the details properly & efficiently! Well explained and entertaining for one who never has actually viewed such knowledge! Two Thumbs up
That was fantastic, Im going to watch this a few more times and then check out your site. The key was you using the simplest possible example, battery pack, resistor, switch, led.
I saw a symbol i didnt recognize on my state Journeyman exam. This was informative as I believe I see that symbol in this video. greatly appreciate it Sir!
im taking HVAC ...i want to say i just seen the international symbol for fuse in a previous video from a huge corporation which had ready to confront my instructor tommorrow about this confusion. i find your video more instructive an clearly presented...you do not miss the details various thank you....please keep that style and i always watch.
Joel Santos Oh, and there seem to be a few variations for a rheostat. Some have a diagonal arrow running across it and some have the arrow to one side pointing right at it. It can be a rectangle or a zigzag.
Thanks for the suggestions. I finally added relays, transistors and buttons to the webpage rimstar.org/science_electronics_projects/electronic_symbols_for_schematics.htm There are so many variations for relays though, so I put a few. Let me know if they're not the ones you're used to.
Interesting and great job. This is like a refresher course in electronics before I became a PC tech. Can you explain flyback transformers? Thanks again.
I love all the videos you do, especially the basic tutorials you make, can you make a tutorial on how to understand the schematics, i.e what each elements function in a particular schematic is and how it changes the current flowing throught it and what happens next. I hope you understand what i mean :)
My brain has fried, however, I know I've retain a fair amount of what I've watched and am saving this for further views to reinforce what I did understand, leading to more time focusing on what I didn't, this time around. Thanks for uploading!
Someone mentioned EveryCircuit here, and I'd like to point out a related app: ElectroDroid. It offers a huge set of tools, from (SMD)resistor colour decoding, LED resistor calculator to voltage drop calculator and everything in between. And that's just the first tab! It offers pin-outs on many popular connectors, USB, Ethernet, Scart, HDMI, Apple 30pin, Arduino, you name it. I've used it many times for that alone. And there are many other references, like a table for wiresize AWGmm^2 I'd really recommend it to any electronic enthusiast, since it's free as well (A similair app for iOS would be something like Electrical ToolKit it seems.)
Usually when I have to read a schematic that includes a major chip or chips, I'll have the data sheet available. This data sheet has the pin out layout. I'll mark the numbers of the pin out on the data sheet onto the schematic to help when wiring like you have done on your schematic.
you should try the app (android and iPhone) Every Circuit. It's one of the better circuit building app out there. Any virtual circuit building app is good because it's good to experiment cost effectively rather than buying it and blowing it up. Just one of the apps that I use to make silly circuits.
ProSurviver I have quickly learned basic electonics by watching EveryCircuit tutorial in RUclips. I am positively addicted to that app, as I love watching speed and movement of electrons on paths. I wish there were more videos on EveryCircuit.
Good video, and you did note that a wiring diagram and schematic is different. but it maybe also be helpful for beginners to understand the difference between the two. Wiring diagrams show the PHYSICAL connection or relation ship. A schematic shows the electrical or theoretical relationship & exact connection For a functional process. Which as you said may not be obvious visually looking at circuits or pcb (printed circuit board)
Great video. One suggestion with the switch; better if drawn with circles that are not filled and in the closed position the "rocker" not a straight line but sitting on top of the circle on switched side :) (a newcomer may be confused with a piece of wire connected in between)
Good point. I've drawn the "rocker" sitting on top of the circle before. I don't know why I didn't think to do that this time, maybe because I was drawing on the computer instead of with pencil and paper. Do you mean draw with the circles not filled only when the switch is in the open position?
Love it! Share the knowledge!
Thanks!
Y’all pay attention to Hacksmith, I bet they get really popular
@@13StJimmy ya late boy
@@FePlayerStarVlogs Missed the joke
Hello there
This video was more informative than the 4 years I've been in school for electrical engineering
Damn no kidding?
FACTS!!!!!👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
@@mykasiurka So you "heard some great things" and go around recommending I watch that and have all the info for me? Sad you need likes that much, I'll make sure not to look it up.
At what school did you complete your Electrical engineering program?
Damn shame right? lmaoo. I agree.

Thanks, I'll try to remember that if I put together a webpage on reading schematics.
Wow
Really helpful bro
Thank you for that
@@RimstarOrgyou definitely should!

I like that you put the real life scenario with the schematic side by side. Very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for letting me know if helped.

Helpful, to the point and friendly. You win the “how to make a RUclips video” award brother! Thank you!!
pleasent voice, natural teacher. thanks for the knowledge.
About to start a electrical technician job and haven't looked at a schematic in 11 years. Thank you for helping knock some of the rust off. The video is to the point and a very good refresher.
You’ll be a real time inventor having to come back from your hiatus.
The visuals in this video are an excellent support to the words being spoken.
Thank you for simplifying it and giving us a website to look at! People on RUclips are the only reason I know stuff about knowing stuff. ((:

Amazing channel! that's the way electricity basics are meant to be taught at school.
Very well done Steve! Entertaining and educational. Now I'm ready for part two :)

Thanks Ritchie! Part two? ... Good idea!
This is the only reason why I dont play with power. thanks. you are one of the best educators on youtube. keep up the good work.
Thank you for getting straight to the point and not making us sit through a 2 minute intro 🙂
Well sir, that's an instant subscription right there. Thank you!
I really appreciate the way you explain things. Thanks for what you do.
Finally, someone who knows exactly what he is doing. Thanks a lot sir!
This is going to help me to troubleshoot so much, thank you
Thank you sir, for the video, I know electrical but I'm can't understand schematics, so to me the way you explain it's great you simplified way low & that helped me
This us so helpful! About to interview for a field technician job and they're gonna ask these types of questions. Extremely helpful
One the very best illustrations on electrical symbols and understanding wiring diagram...GREAT JOB?
Man this is more useful than my teacher's 50mins lecture getting us more cofused everytime
Thanks alot :)

It was amazing how straight to the point it was. Thanks!
I’m a visual learner. Thank you for making these videos!
when i first got into electronics they looked so complicated but after this video my brain is already tuned
This is most probably the best demonstration I have seen. Great!
That is discouraging. You say it's the best you've seen and it totally left me in the dust. I guess I should quit right now.
A very good no nonsense explanation. Well done sir!
I just started getting into modding gameboys and wanted to learn how it all works down to the board. Great info!
was having trouble readin a schematic for a mock up this vid helped a lot thanks !
I love this video so much. I am just a beginner and this is really helpful. So many useful knowledge in 5 minutes.
Never delete this video. Thanks.
Literally just got interested out of the blue and decided to look this up. Good stuff
I truly appreciate this video I’m a Student in aviation/avionics and this was so confusing to me and in minutes I got it 🤟🏽💯
I JUST LEARNED SO MUCH!!!!!!! thank you. too bad every info vid isn’t like this
By request, a new video on how to read a schematic for those new to electronics, or the merely curious or nostalgic. Enjoy!
Chris D
Cool! Thanks so letting me know. It often seems the videos I'm least sure people will be interested in turn out to have the most interest.
You have nice videos, i´m a follower!
Add the rheostat simbol in your website (if you want to)! Square and arrow, isnt it?
Joel Santos
It may have to wait until I get back from vacation but I'll definitely add it.
Joel Santos
Oh, and there seem to be a few variations for a rheostat. Some have a diagonal arrow running across it and some have the arrow to one side pointing right at it. It can be a rectangle or a zigzag.
RimstarOrg ...I only knew the one with the diagonal arrow, because of my physics class.Good to know! Thanks!
relays, transistors, and buttons would all be cool to see on the site.
Thanks for the suggestions. I finally added relays, transistors and buttons to the webpage rimstar.org/science_electronics_projects/electronic_symbols_for_schematics.htm There are so many variations for relays though, so I put a few. Let me know if they're not the ones you're used to.
I do not nothing about schematics ,your video makes me feel profecional tanks for sharing👍🏼
Thank you! ... You helped me a lot I learned for only 4 mins than a 1hour explanation in school
This is a great tutorial. Also good for refreshing ones memory.
Interesting and great job. This is like a refresher course in electronics before I became a PC tech.
Can you explain flyback transformers? Thanks again.
Amazing presentation...Thank you very much
u ve actualy explained to me how these
ground symbols connect
thx so much
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO. VERY INFORMATIVE. FROM BRASIL,
Great job for reading these diagrams - thanks
Wow, I learned two really cool things in a short 5 min video. Thanks!
Well done! This will really help a lot of people.
Thanks! I hope so. So far so good.
Loved your elicit explanation Sir !

I hope you understand what i mean :)
Yup, I know exactly what you mean. It's a very useful exercise. I do that in my "How a Joule Thief Works" video.
This is what i was looking for. Excellent explanation .Thank you Sir..
This helps, better than my engineering teacher. Basically I gotta look for the circles.
cant explain how much this helped me
Thank you for this, it will help me immensely in my new (still training for-) position
Love a good choky starfish rim job.
Well worded, perfect tempo.
