You know it’s serious when the books are out. This is me trying to catch up with my notes for my Learning the Art of Electronics project, which I am terribly far behind on…

I am running late with Lab #1 from Learning the Art of Electronics. That video was meant to come out today, but I’ve pushed it back to next Tuesday so I have time to prepare the notes and record the lab.
See you next Tuesday? :)

Channel News #6: I Have a New Gig! Also I’m Planning Some Things | In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.

In this video I report in about what’s going on around here.
My big news is that recently I got a gig working for Hackaday. You can find my articles over here: https://hackaday.com/author/JohnElliot
I mention that I am reading AVR Programming: Get Under the Hood of the AVR Microcontroller Family which is written by Elliot Williams who is Editor in Chief over at Hackaday. The big thing I am hoping to learn from this book is how to generate tones, but I haven’t read that part of it yet!
The new book teardown which I am going to need to re-record is for Electricity and Magnetism 3ed.
The old book teardown which I have been working on is for Electric Circuits.
I have done the introduction for the Maxitronix 30in1: Introducing Maxitronix 30in1 | Maxitronix 30in1 | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay but I haven’t done the first project yet. The thing that is tripping me up is making a decision about whether I am going to start doing the LTSpice simulations in the 30in1 videos or if I’m going to put that off until we start our next Maxitronix kit… I will have to make a decision about that soon.
I am working on Jaycar and Silicon Chip Mini Project number JMP003. But I’m stuck debugging it. I hope to catch up with that soon. I have heaps of Mini Projects to do, I am embarrassingly far behind.
I have recorded the introduction for the Learning the Art of Electronics project that we’re just about to kick off: Introducing Learning the Art of Electronics | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay but I’m still waiting for the 2nd edition of the book to turn up. Fingers crossed it gets here in the next couple of days otherwise I will need to start on this project using the 1st edition of the book.
There’s a bunch of stuff here that has arrived in the mail so you can expect to see a mail call video covering that stuff soon as well.

Introducing Learning the Art of Electronics | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.

This project’s homepage is here: John’s wiki § Learning the Art of Electronics.
In this video we introduce a new feature of the show. In these segments we will be working through Learning the Art of Electronics.
We will be doing a total of 27 videos for this feature. 25 labs, this introduction, and a conclusion. Videos will come out on the first Tuesday of every month (hopefully!).
We did a new book teardown for this book last year: New Book Teardown #3: Learning The Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course (2016) | In The Lab. You can see in the comments a number of people encouraged me to make videos for this book, so that’s what we’re doing now.
Also a shout out to my mate over on Learning as a hobby for encouraging me to undertake this project.

Texas Instruments Datasheets
I was watching The Differential Pair Becomes an Op-Amp – Transistors 101, episode 18 and they mentioned this datasheet: https://ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm358.pdf. That URL looks very hacker friendly to me, if you know what you’re looking for you can probably guess the URL! I haven’t tried this in anger yet, this is just a note for Future John.
