A topic around micro-controllers might be useful.

dougw , I could do a few videos on proper soldering techniques. I have seen some cruddy soldering from folks here that supposedly know what they are doing. LOL Non of them can solder correctly ! The worst is put a dab of solder on a wire and then stick it on a board. (no mechanical joint to hold it in place), cold solder joints, too much solder. ie all sorts of crap. how about soldering two wires together???
twist it solder it and toss some heat shrink on it to hide the train wreck. I could go on Douglas but I need to eat..

Some tips and hints on soldering would be a service to humanity. I was fortunate to have a summer job back in the dark ages where they took the time to show me some of the basics of good soldering practices, but I can still claim to have made some pretty iffy joints. I often ask potential recruits if they have been exposed to soldering standards like IPC - and I get the standard response ....... a blank stare. So a few pointers is going to be useful for an awful lot of people who own or use soldering irons.
But I'd rather eat too.

kerwine First RTFM! Second: Google.
Question what are you trying to measure? Resistance, Voltage, Current.
Is your meter a Digital Volt Meter (DVM)? if yes just look at the display but you have to know what you are measuring? Resistance (circuit powred off) Voltage

Good introduction to deep learning, but the question 12 is quite missleading
