HEY YOU ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING STUPID:
Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.
It will kill me one day. I'm doing ok right now, but someday...

    Another informative video thanks Paul. Reading through the comments I agree and would be saying the same too. Im newish and all self taught via books and on here. For me the challenge is getting the schematic to the breadboard, test it then get it onto strip board as making my own PCB's are the next step but later. So Yes please more videos on this subject. Question: My schematic for a LM386 audio amp shows pins 2 and 4 connected with a capacitor but both are shown with seprate grounds continuing afterwards. If the cap bridges both pins will one ground from pin 2 or 4 be enough or do both pins need their own ground? Hope Ive explained that well enough. Thanks

    I remember the day the penny dropped and this guff all came into focus. I'd say It's THE KEY to everything (it was for me) when you stop seeing 20,000 components and miles of wire and learn to find the bit your're interested in and ignore the rest the panic goes away. I'd be happy to see you spreading the word. Demystifying the basics sounds good to me. You're obviously round and about even if you're maybe not up to speed ... Possibly the biggest hurdle after appetite is having a dump in your own head in your own time ... for me that's the milestone that I aim for. stay safe.

    As alway a joy to see your videos! :-) I can read most schematics, component by component but that is fine if I want to assemble the circuit. What I would really like you to make, is a "read function" a when you see these standard combination, it's a xxx. It could be like, that is a voltage divider, that is a amplifier with negative feedback and so on, so that the schematic suddenly becomes a drawing of modules.

    I blew my chance to learn electronics when I was at school back in 1959. It was for a goverment training course in radio and t.v. I had passed the preliminary maths and algebra exam. In an interview by three officials I was asked various questions to justify the £2000.00 it would cost the goverment. I was asked, what is a diode? I replied I did not have a clue, that is why I wish to learn. A letter arrived later to say I had failed the interview. I now know what a diode is and learning for 2 years at age 76. Many thanks for your valued help. Would love to meet you if you ever came to Cornwall.

    I am glad to see that you are using the American symbols, rather than the much less easy to read European symbols. In the case of logic, the European symbols are really hard to read at a glance, because everything is represented as a box. Engineers are usually very competent at reading a circuit diagrams, but most can be taken out of their comfort zone when presented with some specialist areas such as microwave power circuits, where there can be some very esoteric devices.

    Hello! I'm a beginner beginner and it looks like i'm the only one having trouble here, lol, but i'll ask anyway. I'm having trouble making the connection between the circuit being drawn at the beginning and the one drawn at 6:11 (the one using rails). Especially when at 7:27 he says it creates a loop. It's hard for me to visualize a loop considering that there is not a literal loop drawn on the paper, so I think I just fundamentally don't understand something about how the ground or battery is drawn or maybe the relationship between the two. It makes sense that the battery in the first diagram has two "leads" connecting it, one on the positive side and one on the negative side. However it doesn't make sense for me to see the battery in the rail diagram only have one "lead" connecting it to the circuit. Again at 9:25 when he's describing the flow from the battery through the resistors and to the ground, to me it appears to be a one-way street, so it was confusing to see him draw the red box and say "so this by itself is a complete circuit," lol. Sorry to post on an old thread, thanks for your patience if you're reading this!
