Silly Job Title: Spark Slinger. I am the Spark Slinger!

In this video we continue to work our way through Learning the Art of Electronics. In this video we finish 1L Lab: DC Circuits by learning how to use our oscilloscope and function generator.

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope as our oscilloscope and we use the UNI-T UTG962E Signal Generator as our function generator.

Silly Job Title: Terminal Tactician. I am the Terminal Tactician!

In this video we continue to work our way through Learning the Art of Electronics. In this video we continue with 1L Lab: DC Circuits and test a 1N914 diode.

The circuit we build is this:

LAoE-Fig-1L.8 Diode VI measuring circuit.

And the charts we make are these:

LAoE-Fig-1L.9-linear Diode I versus V: linear plot.

LAoE-Fig-1L.9-lin-log Diode I versus V: lin-log plot.

This demonstrates that as we increase the voltage into our diode the current increases exponentially.

We reverse the polarity of the diode to see what happens and we observe that only a very small leakage current of 0.4 µA flows.

We use the Riden RD6006 Bench Power Supply to supply 5V for our test circuit.

We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to measure voltage.

We use the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter to measure current.

We use the Carpenter Mechanical Pencil to make notes.

We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.

Thanks very much for watching! And please remember to hit like and subscribe! :)

p.s. today I added Riden, EEVblog, Kaisi, and Multimeter, to my spell check.

Silly Job Title: Science Officer. I am the Science Officer!

In this video we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

To begin with I explain the cosplay costume I wear on the show. It’s me dressed up as Egon Stetmann the Chief Scientist from StarCraft II.

We take stock of the aspirational video release cadence which at the moment is one video per day:

We have a look at the video cameras we currently have deployed in the studio. We have OBS Studio running on four different computers with camera inputs like this:
