Yes! Is this a full return I see?! Love you content keep it up plz.

[JaredConnell]

OMG I've never even thought of just doing the diagonals!! Thank you!

[hofandor]

Think about two long flat parallel continuous wires going through the body. It is the same wire through the body bent like it easy to bend a flat wire. It works for me every time.

[YdnarLah]

Thanks man, I don't do this very often and I always forget.

[roycas]

I can watch your videos whole day and never regret the time spent.!
Learning something new everyday.

[fecheverria]

Yea! you are back! You solved my eternal button wiring problem.

[MatSmithLondon]

I mean…. I know all this stuff but it’s so nice to watch anyway. Nicely presented.

[dhamcaleb]

Wow how bout sum linier switches? Or clicky blues?

[e.a]

Great content, i always had this question 😂

[trevann]

I'm pretty sure these things litterly have little symbols on them to show which ones go to which if you learn how to read them

[AMalas]

Today on obvious things I never thought about

[Juppie]

Why are there 4 legs then if u only need 2 to close a circuit with a button ?

[kyoteecasey]

If you look at the bottom of these you can see a line in the center between the 2 pairs of legs. legs on the same side of the line are connected when button is not pressed

[MechaniclifeJDM]

I ordered an Adafruit sound board, how can I press these buttons wirelessly?

[rpavlik]

Oh man figuring out which pair are connected is horrible...

[MrLuigge]

tactile switch most known by me as "button"

[NortelGeek]

They should call them "mush" switches as half of them don't really feel tactile, especially the white reset button you show.

[Simran-quny]

We also use this same technique to connect this switch to a circuit.😁😁

[JayJay-xrei]

Diagonal won't work if you have a DPDT though...

[falin]

I need a programmable board with at least 100MHz of clock speed. Which one is recommended? Is it better to make a programmable board out of a computer directly?
