Silly Job Title: Operation Manager.
In this video we build our first circuits for Learning the Art of Electronics. The introductory video for this project is here: Introducing Learning the Art of Electronics.
The pre-reading for today’s project is up to page 17 of the course work. If you want to dig deeper there is extra reading to be found on the project home page. Note that some of my notes on the ITL Wiki are only available to people who support me on Patreon (see above).
We use the METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station for soldering.
We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to test voltages and currents.
We use the Riden RD6006 Bench Power Supplies to power our test circuits.
We use the Brother P-Touch D210 Label Maker to label our circuits.
We use the WilliamKlein Music Stand to hold our book.
We use the Scotch Titanium Scissors to cut things.
We use the Carpenter Mechanical Pencil to make our notes.
We use the Hakko CHP 3C-SA Precision Tweezers for precision maneuvering.
We use the Plato Model 170 Wire Cutter to cut our wires.

How to think of electric circuits
Ali the Dazzling explains how to think of electric circuits: Circuits Finally Made Sense When I Saw This One Diagram.
He says to consider Ohm’s law as: I=V/R, where I is the “effect” and V is the “cause”.
