Components

I can't find a single place online which covers almost all components and explains their function on video.

 

I have struggled for a week (aside the 2 days spent in the hospital) trying to understand how transistors I work...  I am constantly attempting to learn.

 

Please create a YouTube playlist to teach us these things.

 

Thank You

    Use google. , try this playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVy_MG0X2h4&list=PLA9212719342ED971

    I think you'll need to be prepared to read stuff as well as use video. Most of the tutorial material I see on YouTube is very weak.

     

    Give us an idea of the level you are at and I'll attempt to suggest some reading.

     

    BTW - do you want to know how things actually work or just what they do and how to use them  - (for most purposes it doesn't much matter how a MOSFET or Transistor works - you just need to know what it does).

     

    How do transistors work? - Explain that Stuff  is  a start but very general.

    Thank You,

     

    I appreciate it, and have read it repeatedly (as is necessary for me, as it is difficult for me to learn in this manner).  I am an audio/visual/application based learner.  I have to read things repeatedly (until my mind will absorb it, meaning that sometimes I just stare at the page.  This is why I try so hard to find videos on the topics.  they don't need to comprise the curriculum for undergrad in Electrical Engineering.  I am just hoping that people will realize that a centralized website which gives video on ALL of the basic components, AND how they work, keep us at a website almost dependently for ALL of our needs...

     

    ...the moment we look elsewhere, we have a large opportunity to drift off and buy from wherever we drifted to.

     

    Please keep us here.  Show us how basic components work.  Otherwise the site shows us (metaphorically) all of the awesome things we could build with legos, if we know how legos work...

     

    ...Unfortunately, due to some of our imperfections, we need a little better understanding of how legos click together.

     

    For those who know how to accomplish such "simple tasks", please demonstrate on video.  This will allow all of us to rapidly build and grow a legion of Lego awe, causing the world to tremble...

     

    ...And, each captain of "Maker" Industry built by Element 14, due to this "catalyst" for understanding will be forever loyal to the site which took us from NOTHING, into being able to comprehend enough to experiment and learn with the basics.  AND, we will have learned at ONE place...

     

    ...ELEMENT14!!!
