YES!! He's back!! I have really missed his videos and I am so glad to see this kind of video being made! Please keep making more videos so I can keep learning! Welcome back Collin Cunningham !!! :D
This is a really great guide! You are doing funny things, but all of them actually make sense and do not take away from the meaning. Really really great job guys!
I'm so glad Collin Cunningham is back! I LOVED his videos and he's one of the biggest reasons why my workbench is covered in projects!! Thank you Collin Cunningham and Adafruit Industries! You guys are boss, and are making me want to do MORE projects!
Thanks for the new series. I am happy Collin Cunningham is making videos. He has a great style to explain and make ideas understandable. I hope this becomes a weekly show.
If I may suggest a tip that will not only be helpful to new/aspiring/amateur EEs but also possibly generate more traffic and hopefully revenue for Adafruit, when showing some of the special tech like those specialized tweezers for testing continuity and probe voltmeter, maybe provide a link to such products for sale on Adafruit or some other place where we can read more. Awesome tutorials and site. You guys do awesome work!
I have followed Colin for sometime. I thoroughly enjoy his electronics videos. I felt lady Ada was a little intrusive in this video. Forced if you will.
Agreed, They are two very different styles. Collin's Lab is art just as much as informative. A fun challenge for them to see if their styles can be shared more seamlessly.
They have developed their pair personas...he, focussed, her, diverting his focus to her ideas. Then once she has left, he refocuses. Mildly entertaining if not carried to extremes. She acts rather like a cat, in fact....
It most likely wouldn't blow up. It's a current shunt, used to measure current, can handle huge amounts of current. It's also obvious the fuses will blow first before the shunt does.
Collin, is it really you?! YES. i missed your vids. i found you! i am glad that you still make video´s! I thought that your last video at the Make channel was your last. What a luck!
+Collin Cunningham , my son Ethan says that you are a smart guy. We are trying to learn electronics and you, Lady Ada and AdaFruit have been most helpful. Playlists like this and Circuit Playground are great. Thank you!
Fantastic! So excited these are back. Like Rene, I watched and loved all the Make ones and probably spent far too much money as a result. They made me a fan of Jameco, which is still my favorite place to buy components that Adafruit or SparkFun don't carry. So sponsoring these videos certainly paid off for them in my case.
Loved this presentation, slightly geeky but very cool, certainly kept my interest and it was delivered in a way that keeps a person interested. Many Thanks, viewed, liked and subscribed.
You can also test continuity by setting the multimeter to the lowest ohm setting (best is around 100-200 ohms). If it shows your multimeter's error code, it is not connected. If a resistance pops up, you know it is connected.
On my homemade multimeter I fitted an external fuse holder, just to make it less fun for Murphy and his pesky law to have me blow the fuse. It still has the original fuse I put in there...
You can still buy brand-new Simpson 260 meters as well as the higher accuracy 270 model. I own a 260 made in the 60's as well as one made in the 90's. Digital meters are great for quickly checking a voltage or measuring resistance, but if you need to tune something for peak or dip value, nothing beats an analog meter. Also, analog meters can measure voltage or current without needing batteries, so they work great as monitoring meters for long-term use. Anyone who works with electronics should own at least one of each, digital and analog.
We need more videos from Collin!
We need more cowbell.
What you smoking?
@@retiredump7038 more colinbell!
Of all the people on RUclips, Colin has got to be my favorite.
Collin's videos are the only reason I look at this channel. really helpful. more collin please.
YES!! He's back!! I have really missed his videos and I am so glad to see this kind of video being made! Please keep making more videos so I can keep learning! Welcome back Collin Cunningham !!! :D

So happy to see Collin's Lab bac!
Oh man, I was so excited when I saw this pop up in my subscriptions! I love that you kept the original music!
Glad these videos are coming back! And good to see Lady Ada too!
I'm so glad Collin Cunningham is back! I LOVED his videos and he's one of the biggest reasons why my workbench is covered in projects!! Thank you Collin Cunningham and Adafruit Industries! You guys are boss, and are making me want to do MORE projects!
I've learned so much from Collin! I am so excited that he's back doing these awesome videos!!!!!
I could watch these quirky informative videos all day.
Collin is a super legend. Great to see you back in action
Thanks for the new series. I am happy Collin Cunningham is making videos. He has a great style to explain and make ideas understandable. I hope this becomes a weekly show.
Delighted to see this series picked up again.
Wow, finally, collin is alive!!!
Yes! Collin Cunningham is back!!
Happy to see these type of people exists from 2005 who made so many useful videos😊 You deserve atleast 1M subs❤
Oh man,COLLIN'S BACK !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank-you.Thank-you.Thank-you.
Love this guy.
4:20, Closing Time reference?
Collin... The best thing to happen to Adafruit ever.

Awesome tutorials and site. You guys do awesome work!
Yay, Collins Lab used to be my favorite series on make.
Collin: *How to use multimeter.*
Ada: I'M POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE TO HOLD THE MULTIMETER UP TO MY EAR AND SELL YOU TWEEZERS!
Scary, mildly.
It's a late Christmas miracle!!!
Collins back!

Dang, not a physics pun.
Thank you for returning brother
Awesome! really glad to see Collin's Lab is back!!
Oh man,can't believe I missed your amazing return.
Well better late than never.
Nice to see you making more interesting videos.
What if you blow up the big brown wire near the fuses, as show at 6:22 ?
Replace it...
It most likely wouldn't blow up. It's a current shunt, used to measure current, can handle huge amounts of current. It's also obvious the fuses will blow first before the shunt does.
+Angelo You cannot replace the "wire". It's a current shunt, specialised for the multimeter.
Collin, is it really you?! YES. i missed your vids. i found you! i am glad that you still make video´s!
I thought that your last video at the Make channel was your last. What a luck!
Collin's back! Yay!
5:30 What LED is that?
Thanks to the both of You. I really liked all content, but loved " you don't have to go home.. but you can't provide current here"
Yay Collin's Lab is back!
Hooray! More Collin!
Subscribed to Adafruit for Colin! YES YES YES!!!!
Gracias Adafruit por permitirnos saber más de electrónica.
Welcome back Collin!! Just the video I needed right now Thank you
+Collin Cunningham , my son Ethan says that you are a smart guy. We are trying to learn electronics and you, Lady Ada and AdaFruit have been most helpful. Playlists like this and Circuit Playground are great. Thank you!
COLLIN'S LAB!!!!!! Welcome back!!!
Glad to see Collin back :-) Collin Cunningham FTW

Yeah! Collin is back!
I'm so glad to see Collin back, is this a new home? Hello from a MAKE fan!
That tie is awesome!
YAY! Collin I've missed you so much!
Awesome video... And welcome back collin.. Itx good to see u again.:-)
Short and extremely useful. Thanks.
Oh My God! This is the best thing since ATtinies with a USB bootloader! The epicness of Collins' Lab is here! \o/
Thanks Collin. Glad to see you're back. Your front too!
So excited for Collin's Lab! I've been waiting for so long for this!
MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.
Colin's Lab. Yes. Yes.
Thanks for a very informative post! Nice surprise there with lady Ada popping in : )
Can you tell me where you got your tie?
Brilliant channel! Just what I was looking for!
Yay Colin is back
I loved Collin's Lab when it was on Make's channel, now it's come back, woot!
Loved this presentation, slightly geeky but very cool, certainly kept my interest and it was delivered in a way that keeps a person interested. Many Thanks, viewed, liked and subscribed.
He is back
I like this man :)
Great video! How do you test which fuse is blown if my multimeter is taken apart?
I replaced both, just in case.
Lusting a little for LadyAda's analog meter.
You guys are my heroes.
Fabulous stuff guys!
Yeah!! New episode!
Collin is the man thank you for the break down !!!!
Collin is a great processor on the Adafruit board!
You can also test continuity by setting the multimeter to the lowest ohm setting (best is around 100-200 ohms). If it shows your multimeter's error code, it is not connected. If a resistance pops up, you know it is connected.
Great series thanks!
Complete with the electro music. Sweet!
Collin is back! :)
WOOOOOO YES its Collin !!!!
Yay Collin!
what is a good multimeter
Wish I had you guys years ago.
Collin... I've missed you old friend... I've missed you
You can also measure current by measuring resistance then dividing maximum voltage by resistance.
Or, r is voltage divided by current.
Collin is THE BEST!!!!!
*%$$3@ьб😮😉
I would love to have some smart tweezers for my smt components on my sstc driver.
Go away ladyada Collin is mine
You can't measure a resistor in circuit!
he just did! dun dun duuuun!!
Living dangerously!!!
TechMad UK you are right
TrollingAround it’s the same thing doofus
I learned so much here !
On my homemade multimeter I fitted an external fuse holder, just to make it less fun for Murphy and his pesky law to have me blow the fuse. It still has the original fuse I put in there...
Awesome. This is how you teach

V good job 😊 I like it thanks Cullen
welcome back!
Great teacher,
Very very informative, thank you.
That's a nice little multimeter.
Great vid. He should have had a spot in the matrix
As a good guy, though....
@6:40 "Evolved to be [...] portable" That old, chunky analogue one had a carrying handle for portability...
Hurry and upload to this playlist again
...and God said: "Let there be... wait.. one sec, BRB gotta grab my multimeter..."
...
"Let there be light."
And there was light.
Awesome dude!
Yay for the 260-6PM, but what happened to the button?
What if if power is in during testing continuity!??
Well turn it off. How to fry your meter, or you. Zap!
I used to calibrate the Simpson 260's when I was in the Navy. good meters :)
Don't sneeze, Lady Ada! You'll never find that component!
Not a fan of facial piercings.....
Love this guy.
