I am an electromechanical engineer and I was a professor at the University for 25 years, of course I know what you taught in this video. But it is the clearest, most direct, useful, enjoyable teaching I have ever seen. I congratulate you, because it will be of great value to many and an example of how to make a teaching video

As an electrician and hobbyist, I approve of this video. Good show.

Understood more in 14 minutes than I did over entire units on electricity back in high school. Thank you for this.

This has been the clearest, more directed and amazing electrical tutorial I have seen! This simple concept always makes my brain wrap into knots and I constantly have to relearn it. (Never learned resistors before). So my goodness! Thank you. You're a fantastic teacher! Both in regards to the information presented but also in providing a low stress alternative with the resistor test towards the end. I'm adding a breadboard to my cart as we speak thanks to this. (Also don't worry. I still want to get to know how to KNOW what I'm doing and not just doing it. So I'm excited to start understanding and using the spec sheets with my LEDS for more immediate control too)

Oh man thank you for this no nonsense demo. I've been so confused.

[egarvue]

Thank you! I used to put together Radio Shack kits in my youth, but since I'm not an engineer, I forget a lot of what I learned then. Easy to understand, great explanation.

Dude...thank you so much for the class! This is awesome! Must have video. No more wasteful led light strips or annoying tealights. Saved to my terrain crafting folder!!

[terenceconnors]

Thank you for going into some basic theory, not just "do this, it's cool!" More crafters are doing this sort of work, it's great to have resources on it from you, as well.

First of all, awesome teaser, got me really excited about upcoming build. Secondly and most importantly, the guide is great. I was avoiding the led lighting in my own builds for ages (lying to myself that it is not that great feature anyway) but now I feel empowered to try. Thanks for sharing this!

[Designsy-wlnr]

Best video on this subject I have seen! Thank you!

[ScratchBashing]

I'm almost immediately reminded that I want to disassemble a vacuum cleaner for bits..

[shep]

Thank you for the solid state electronics class refresher

[thecraftydm]

I have started using LEDs in my builds. This video made me a lot more comfortable doing so. Nice job!

[earlkriewall]

Thank you for providing a straightforward, clear presentation on not only using LEDs, but the basics behind them. I need to watch this a few more times just to take notes.

[BPCustomCreations]

This was the best teaching video I've ever seen for electronics basics

Late to the party, but just in case anyone is confused about "I" being used for current, and then immediately being denoted in "A" or "mA" - "I" is the way of denoting electrical current, which comes from the French word for "Intensity" ("intensité").

Typically, "I" is used in mathematics where we're just talking about the concept of electrical current, but when we actually measure, we use the SI unit "A" for "Amperes" or "Amps"; This can be modified like "kA" to show kiloamp (1, 000Amps) or "mA" to show milliamp (0.001 amps). Consider that when we talk about the "Speed" of something, we might use "S" in an equation, but "mph" or "m/s" to measure it.

Great video Wyloch, I'm so happy you're back, and producing frankly - amazing quality content.
Keep it up man. ♥

[MarcinAntolek]

Best teaching video i have ever seen.Love Your knowlage and peace in Your voice.Im a car mechanic and start learning electronics few months ago.Even my english its not so good i inderstood everything You say.Love it.Btw diorama looks great.Hope will finde more videoas from You about electronics.Cheers from Poland.🥂

[FigureNerd]

Thank you. I knew jack about this stuff. Now I’m scratching the surface. Woohoo!

[PataSwe]

I have been watching your videos since I found your first dungeon tile videos. While your crafting techniques and video style has evolved what you have kept and what always keeps me coming back is how systematic, clear and thorough you are. Excited to see the finished cyberpunk build!

[KnarbMakes]

Great video Wyloch! I just got done with a bunch of LED work too and I've learned you can never have too many! Cheers
