    In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you what make the popular 555 Timer IC tick and how we can use it in our circuits as a monostable, bistable and astable multivibrator in order to create delays or even PWM Signals.

    Your videos are amazing ! So much information, you're going straight to the point without any detours. The information is tightly packed and the whole subject is covered quickly and efficiently. If looking for one specific information, I can watch 4 or 5 videos in what feels like no time and I'm very likely to find what I'm looking for. As an other non native english speaker (i'm french) I am very happy to be able to use english as a way to communicate with somebody that eager to make the world a smarter place.

    Another great video, Great Scott! My advice is to keep up your high tempo, despite the complaints that you're going too fast. I'm a beginner, and you're "too quick" for me too, but that's good motivation to learn more so I can eventually keep up... and your videos are never boring! In all the language classes I've taken there is always a student who complains the teacher is speaking too quickly. One teacher responded "No. You're listening too slowly." That's right on the money!

      @jasond.valentine5931 7 лет назад +17

      Did that, as pathetic as it may sound to someone who actualy understands electronics, but there are to many elements unkown to me. I'd need to sotp the vid, go investigate what is that flipflop for instance, then come back and lsiten to the rest of it.. Ijm just too dumb.

    • @starcitizenmodding4436
      @starcitizenmodding4436 7 лет назад +9

      I agree with both of you. that is the beauty of youtube and having so many people talk about the same thing. you can jump in the deep end and not understand lots of things and you can go and listen to a noob which both are very usefull, when your goal is just to learn. just use your intelligence.
      its like if you speak to the top brain surgeon you probably wont understand hardy anything but talk to the beginner he will probably spend 10 mins talking about keeping tools clean. where the pro never mentioned it once but its fundamental. But use ur intelligence and you can learn key points very fast.

    • @starcitizenmodding4436
      @starcitizenmodding4436 7 лет назад +8

      it would be unfair to ask the top brain surgeon to cover everything from the most basic and you would miss out on the cool stuff he really knows.
