Intro to Breadboard Electronics

electronics
In this podcast, Bre Pettis shows you how to set up a breadboard for power and then play around with electronics on it Note: In the podcast, I mention Charles Platt’s article is from Make: volume 11. Its actually in Make: Volume 10.

@iorixs there’s electronics software that you can build circuits with called Multisim, look it up, it works like a charm once you know how, and should come with little examples to troubleshoot a circuit like from simple dc series circuits and so on..

To answer your question, the diagram is in fact backward. Common sense would indicate that current flows in the direction of the arrow but notice the vertical line at the point of the arrow. If you think of this as a “brick wall” then what the diagram says is that any current going with the arrow will hit the brick wall and be stopped. It seemed sort of odd to me too, at first, but if you think of it that way, it makes a bit more sense.

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I just now found my inbox on youtube. Anyway, to answer your question, the diagram is in fact backward. Common sense would indicate that current flows in the direction of the arrow but notice the vertical line at the point of the arrow. If you think of this as a”brick wall”, then what the diagram says is any current going with the arrow will hit the brick wall and be stopped. It seemed a bit odd to me too at first, but that’s how it’s read.

@Armoredlamb thnx a lot for sharing

@ajk321 , i have only blown one cap and an led so far, i hope i have learned my lesson to never just try out this component here to just see what it does. calculate first, then try it on software if need be and then use the breadboard after that solder the final circuit

Good attempt at the Starwars theme, Bre

@ultimateninja111 go to TheNewBoston ‘s channel to his Robotics and Electronics tutorials. He is REALLY good at explaining stuff. But he stops his electrical stuff after like 20 or so.

@iorixs Pspice for PC or Solve Elec for Mac. Both are free

is there any breadboard software so you can mess with the parts without ruining them?

Great video

can some one tell me a rly good vid for electronic for beginners i rly want to learn
May 22nd, 2010 at 12:03 pm
can you show a schematic for the power part

@makemagazine
do u know how to use this for the seven_seg_display LED? it`s pretty amazin

Not sure if you noticed but you said in the video that capacitors even out the current. Correct me if I’m wrong but capacitors oppose change in voltage and inductors oppose change in current.

ROFL .. he made an electronic fart machine!! 3:34 .. that’s awesome ..

kk itz cool lets just 4get this whole argument

Sorry, I should have read your entire comment. I’m actually not bragging, I just deleted my comment because I could care less…

@EllisPerkins93
look again kid, i wasnt bragging i was just sayin about my middle school tech class and the part where it says “i suck @ it but i still love them” so yea. and look at ur comment, UR the 1 bragging so dont say ur not. btw, THAT WAS A MONTH AGO
May 22nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm
that is not Make vol 11 its Make vol 10

I don’t get it…but I don’t get much…
