I believe this is computer engineering as opposed to computer science; computer science is software and algorithm based, where as computer engineering is more hardware based. They don't regularly teach this in Computer Science programs-- which is why I'm here watching these videos.

The time spent explaining how something works is well spent. I've worked with too many Engineers and Managers that get lost because they don't have a basic understanding on how instruments give them information an how that is transformed into a measured value of what you want. Knowledge is worth something and is critical when you have to rely on subcontracting or purchased services. Please continue to explain things. Even when you know the subject matter there's something to learn from different presentations.

As someone who has spent most of the quarantine time re-learning electronics and researching for a wearable startup idea and falling deep down the rabbit hole of KZread electronics tutorials, your content and presentations are just incredibly good and one of the very best out there! Kudos and massive respect to you Paul!

Learning this without the background math is like learning to drive in a car with no engine. Keep up the good work ! - Former Special Ed math student, turned engineer....turned Healthcare worker.

Please do not change your teaching style. I love that you take the time to explain everything and show us the math. I went to DeVry for the electronic technician program and Im using this as a refresher as well as a hobby, and i'm relearning everything as well as some things for the first time and its all because the hard work you have done. Thank you!

Another fantastic lesson and I love the math and physics descriptions that really make these lessons sink in so I have an idea of what is really happening. After this lesson, I view my outdoor lights that come on each evening as it gets dark in a very different "light". I very much enjoy the challenge when you give a "homework" assignment so I can test myself; otherwise it is too easy to get complacent and just copy what you type. Thanks again!

Paul, you're explanations are awesome. This is one of the rare series where people learn what's behind all of this stuff. You might not need all the background information for your projects but knowing this stuff, those details, just makes people better at what they do. I hope you keep going! Greetings from Belgium.

In the book "Think like a mathematician" by the German math PhD Christian Hesse, he wrote that the ancient mathematician Paul Erdos loved and drank lots of coffee and Erdos said mathematicians turn coffee into math principles".

Bob Paul Erdös lived until the end of the 20th century. Hopefully that’s not what we’re calling ancient these days. Also, in addition to turning coffee into theorems, he was said to use high grade meth amphetamines for the same purpose. He was certainly an iconoclast.

when you build this, i would appreciate if you publish your paper, a link so i can read the abstract. i am doing exactly the opposite. i bought a toy windmill, (a real toy) with comments it could not charge a battery. i do not think the thing even develops the amps to overcome the internal resistance in a battery. that is why i'm taking this course, to publish a youtube video on battery charging and wind turbines. my degree is IMET, and i have training as a wind turbine tech, trained on the big wind turbines you see on the side of the road.

I used this video and made my own project with an RGB, photoresistor, and a servo. Depending on the color of the RGB the servo points to the correct color. Super helpful lesson

don't stop the explanations please, they are gold dust, its one thing to write the code, its a whole other level to understand why it physically works. The in depth component explanations are a big part of what makes your videos great!

loving that fact that you actually go into depth to help out the people that DO really wanna learn and not copy and past, really appreciate your time and effort thanks again

Paul, your video's are very articulated, greatly appreciated. My 10 year old boy has learned a lot from you.

Paul, I have been following the entire series since you released. You set out to be NEW and improved, you have done just that, by breaking things (concepts) down, excuse the term "Potato Head Style" , a true meaning of 101 Beginner. I'm diesel technician that set out to learn the Arduino programming platform. The background is great on the physics and math. For those moaning and griping , they need to look elsewhere, a more advance series on KZread perhaps. Maybe Paul will release a more advanced series in the future. Your 101 (Beginner Series) is Great. Thanks in advance for your current and future efforts. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

I totally appreciate your teaching style. we can't gain the real concept of things without being told the actual science and maths behind them. So keep diong what u have been carrying on so far...bestowing us with the treasures of your knowledge!

This was a really interesting lesson. I personally like the maths and physics part, because it helps me understand what's happening inside all those wires and it is than much easier to be able to do the things on my own.

Just for reference, my favorite parts of your videos are the those where you explain how things work.

I'm one who is very thankful that you take the extra time to explain why things work and the math and physics behind it all. Excellent videos.

Thank you for these tutorials Paul! I started watching these with no prior knowledge of Arduino, coding, building circuits, or anything of the sort, and really enjoy learning the details of why and how all the pieces of the puzzle come together to make something. Looking forward to learning more!

great lesson, love the depth and theory you go into. It allows us to get a whole understanding of what we are doing

You are the best teacher

Absolutely love your videos. My current professor only has so much time to teach and there is a foreign language barrier that makes understanding a little hard sometimes. I always watch your videos right after a lecture because your explanations go a little deeper and it truly helps me understand what's going on. So thank you for all that you do.

Yet another really informative and clearly explained lesson. Thanks very much, Paul. I did manage to work your assignment out, much to my surprise, and thanks to your most excellent teaching methods. Love the way that you explain how things work, too; adds another dimension to working with electronics. It's nice to know WHY something works...not just, like, "stick the red here, stick the black here...blah blah blah." NOTHING is learnt in this way; repeating everything parrot-fashion, without understanding of HOW it works. Your teaching methods are sound, mate....and please don't ever change the way that you teach. Regards from the Grumpy Limey in England. Cheers!

What a *wonderful* explanation on photoresistor! So clear. So precise. So simple. The math of it? It separates Paul's video from other "popularization" type of KZread videos that don't touch on the math behind the science.

Another “most excellent” explanation, this time on how photo sensors work! Not to worry though about those who seem to think their head hurts when learning. They will eventually find work asking people “do you want fries with that?” (If they are lucky!

Wow, thank you! To get the coding right the first time while your video is paused, is so awesome...even though I had to wash the dogs while the video was paused, to come back, code the micro, and see it work the first time, and to see my code matched yours (except for the pin numbers, but hey!), is so confidence building. Thank you again! And please keep up the math and physics, I can always use a refresher!

Definitely don’t hate that you go into all the grit with the lessons, I love it! These lessons have been amazing, I’ve went from knowing nothing to knowing a lot already! I was so close to getting the coding right on this homework too😑 off by 1 word.

I'm actually going through your playlist, and I enjoy learning more about this ^_^ Thank you so much for your hard work, aaand I've done the assignment and it went perfectly well !!!!!! Thanks teacher ✌🏻

Thank you again.

Keep up the way you are going, these lessons are perfect for me, i never did physics at school so i am constantly learning from you, also my maths after leaving school were pretty basic so the way you are teaching is sinking in really well and i am soaking it all up

Don't pay attention to the haters. I am a math and physics teacher who will be the advisor to the Arduino club next year. You explanations have been useful as a model of how I can explain how these work to my students.

Paul, as a Physics enthusiast I love the way you explain everything that goes behind each component of the Kit. Thanks again for another great video! Subscriber from Spain!!

I bought my Elegoo kit 2 years ago and went through the models of just copying the code from the kit's PDF. Your videos are exponentially more educational. Thank you so much for these videos!

You're doing EVERYTHING right Paul, Please don't ever change a thing. I believe the majority of viewers came here to learn how this all works and you are doing a great job doing just that. Lesson 25 and I already have a much better understanding of the Arduino, can't wait to see it all through, but will be sad when it's finished :(

Because of work, I was out of this wonderful series for almost 2 weeks. Went back at it today. And because of your detailed explanations and the fact that I'm taking notes, I was able to go back to my notes and completed the assignment for today, on my own, perfectly. Thank you so much, Sir!!

Enjoyed this project. I'm fine with the theory portion helps me remember things I get a little fuzzy about. You can do some fun and interesting things with this sensor. Thanks Paul.

I like the way you do things, it's why I watch your videos. I want to learn how to do it myself and I know I'm not alone.

Another great lesson. You are absolutely right about learning how everything works. It takes your skills to a new level. It is sort of like the difference between riding on an airplane or being able to fly it.

This series is awesome! Love your teaching style, knowing how things work! Thanks for teaching us this way!!

Math was never my interest until starting this course now I see the importance of understanding it and why its needed. Another great session Paul, thx

PLEASE don't stop teaching the way you do! understanding the hardware and math is infinitely valuable!

Love the fact that from what I have learned so far from your video series, I already have an idea of how to build a security alarm with a lot of functions :) thank you

It helps a lot with your nice calculations and diagrams, sometimes it's hard to keep up, but after a while it gets better. Thank you so much for the nice oak vasions

I used the RGB LED with the photo Resistor. When the lights were on I programmed the RGB LED to output a purple light and when the lights were off I made it into a bright white light! I am doing all of this all thanks to you, Mr. McWhorter!

Still the best tutorial on the Arduino on KZread, am really enjoying the series. You made electronics fun again after working as a technician for 20 years. I think this was a great time to practice the if ...else statements instead of two if’s.

Great tutorial! Really enjoying the "why you see what you see" aspect of it. Please continue to include the physics, chemistry and math aspects!

BOOM! Am at half of your Arduino tutorials. Explanation is really clear ! I enjoy watching. Thank you!

Keep teaching the basics! Not everyone out there is a tech. I have recommended your vids to my younger less learned co-workers exactly because of the basics. Advanced people, use the scroll bar and fast forward. Thanks Paul!

Thank you for continuing to teach the math and physics behind each of these components! I greatly value your explanations.

I'm an Arduino beginner, i'm on the beginner lessons for the Arduino Uno. I have a photo-resistor and so i came to this video, part 25 and understood everything. Awesome and clear explanations make this possible :D Also the theory helped out

Thank you, Paul. I really appreciate when you explain how these circuits and components work. A lot more valuable than just saying: 'Here is the circuit, here is the code. Have fun.'

I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you for these videos. Thank you! And don’t stop explaining how the devices work🤲🏼

Thanks Paul for your lessons. I am 64 and retired and was in the HVAC sector. I appreciate you explaining how things work, because I retain information told to me if I know how they work and not just do it this way! Keep up the good work! I am enjoying very much the lessons and I have projects lined up. Can’t wait to get to the end of this series.

We do not hate when you explain how things work. Instead it is more interesting to me. Love your lessons.

Thanks for this tutorial series, I'm very much enjoying them. The understanding content is very much appreciated and sets it apart from other copy me videos on KZread. I also enjoy the rewarding use of colour LED's on some projects.

I do love how you describe how the things actually work... it makes it easier to understand now when you know that sensors are a form of resistor.

Just subscribed to your great channel. Thank you for your passion and kindness to share this fun stuff with the world. You have been getting more ornery as videos progress, all the more fun. :) This is what great human beings dream and do, to help one another and make the world, and this short life, a better place. I am almost 57 years old and it warms my heart whenever I think of your selfless and highly committed acts. Thank you Paul, I feel like I have known you for a long time. I am certain your family is proud of all that you do. I don’t have to tell you, nevertheless, stay curious as ever and keep on trucking. Thank you.

I agree with Bob totally!!! Keep taking the time to delve into why things work!

I have been in technical field(mostly software) for around 4 yrs. Now building my base in electronics and one thing I have learnt is that if you grasp the basics, life is a lot easier along your journey. If no solid basics, life hard, you spend weeks debugging on simple bugs arising from lack of basics and it's difficult to for you to design original and authentic stuff. It's irritating and you can even end up quitting

Thanks for taking the time to explain the nuts and bolts of stuff. That leads to people that are able to expand their projects beyond the lesson experiment. I have been playing (self taught) with micro controllers and simple electronics for 12+ years and still watch your stuff because you do things in a different way than I have done it before. There are multiple ways of doing things and no one way is the “right” way. Your explanations always reveal an alternative. Thanks! PicAxe was my first microcontroller and the things I learned there work just as well with Arduino but BASIC is a lot easier to use for beginners. I still use both but Arduino is now my go-to micro.

Please remain steadfast in explaining the theory. Many of use blew this information off because we figured we "never would need this stuff" and low and behold we do need it. You are giving us all a second chance to expand our horizons and have fun doing it! Kennedy

I actually love this videos because you explain all the physics and math behind them. no need to copy rather understand. Thank for your efforts.

Hi Paul! I know this is an older video, but we are watching these lectures for our class! I have to watch through lecture 40 by Wednesday so today I followed your advice and had an iced coffee to refresh myself while working. Thanks for the great videos. The past 25 have been fantastic. Cheers.

That is what troubleshooting is all about. Once we have some problems with our circuits or our code, then we figure it out, and it becomes a little easier next time to figure out the problems.

Honestly, this is what sets you apart from the other instructors of Arduino. By explaining the component in depth, we are able to grasp how it functions and won't have any doubts once we start using it. Personally speaking, I find your explanations really clear-cut and straightforward which has really helped throughout this course and even for my studies in uni. Keep up the good work! Screw the haters. They are just lazy bums who can't be bothered to learn.

You keep on doing the under the hood stuff. When you understand how things work and the math behind it a whole new world of how to use the components opens up. Wish you were my teacher in high school. Keep it up. Great stuff.

Hi Mr. McWhorter, I did the homework and first wrote it with an if statement and then rewrote it with a while loop just to see if I could. I'm so proud of myself, thank you! I can see the MAGIC!

Paul, I am one of your biggest fans and the way you teach these courses clicks with the way I learn best. To those who are bored with the science and math parts - Fast Forward. Yup just go right on past it and get to the next step and it will all make sense, you can replay that part later if you change your mind. And to those who want to know why you show simple steps instead of easier quicker commands let me remind you - One step at a time. Walk before you run. Be patient grasshopper! Keep doing what you do best Paul!

Hello Paul, Good lesson. I like the fact you have us work out the problems during the class. I think it is important that you do go over the math and physics. Thanks for all the hard work.

For those with no knowledge in electrics and that got confused at 12th minute where he explained the need for a resistor - get yourself "Delmars book of electricity" and go through topics series, parallel and combination circuits and you'll understand why.. Book is with plenty questions at the back at the end of each topic. It helped me a lot to understand this topic. God bless you Paul for your work.

Picking up on your great series once again after a 6 month hiatus (thanks to a new gaming PC!). I was a bit rusty, but picking things up again is kinda like gettin back on the bike ;) The photoresistor is one of the coolest exercises yet! Great work again thanks Paul.
