Intro to Breadboard 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.

    @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

    @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.

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

    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.

    @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
