What is an oscillator? Oscillator tutorial in HD!

The basics of oscillators - what they are, what they are used for, and it shows a couple of demo circuits with a sine wave oscillator and a square wave oscillator. Clock generator circuits for digital processors are also briefly mentioned.

FINALLY! A professional-sounding educational electronics channel that both knows what they're doing and is engaging.

Every time I search for an electronic tutorial, I find your work the most useful and relevant. Thank you for spending the time to make the videos.

@chickenmunt RC oscillators means oscillators based on resistors and capacitors. I described two such circuits in the video. There are hundreds more out there. If you meant that you want to know the math behind why oscillators are inherently unstable systems etc. well that's way too much to cover in 1 video.

I have really enjoyed all of your videos. I am an electronic engineering student through DeVry University. Since all of my classes are online, it's so nice to watch your videos when I don't understand something! Thank you and PLEASE keep what you are doing…you are helping people!

"i can host my own rave" lmaoo. thx man im learning and was so lost

[muhamadhamdy]

hahahaha mexican wave!! dude you're why don't we get teachers like this in college

[MoTheBlackCat]

Yup! A short but on the point and funny video still up to this day, just awesome!

[ananazzist]

Great vid, straight to the point and no BS. Gj!

Overclock to something crazy like 3 GHz! Wow, lot has changed in 8 years.
Thanks for the video.

I love the humor embedded in this tutorial 

[maxpvisuals]

i feel like i just worked out the meaning of life thank you

[BrokenCapo]

lmao... your the best teacher... love the way you add humor which helps absorb the material

[bobbob-uvoi]

what kind of what kind of circuit would be required to make the Mexican wave?

[chenyu]

Nice introduction! How about the difference between oscillator and crystal?

[Finiras]

Thank you, you are awesome. I was hoping for more examples of oscillators.

[jennabon]

loved it! fabulous video, easy to understand, and you're riotously hilarious. thank you.

@Afrotechmods I'm so sorry what I meant was to fully charge the 2 volt lead acid battery. The source of power is a 12 volt lead acid battery and I'm replacing the LED with a 2volt lead acid battery to be charge up.Thanks for the info.

for the electronc layman': An oscillator can be made from an amplfier with gain >1 but must be made with "POSITIVE feedback" that causes the amplifier to produce an AC OUTPUT, even when that circuit has NO external input .

@Afrotechmods what is wrong with powering the Lm324 with a single nine volt battery and calling the negative terminal ground? Please respond

Thank you..
You are such an angel before my test...
