Isn't this the best educative channel we have on YouTube??..

I’ve said this time and time again, this channel is the most well thought out and informative on this whole platform. Schools should be showing your videos to engineering students. Incredible guys, can’t praise you enough.

Listen my guy... I have looked far and wide.. just got started with Arduinos, esp8266, and raspberrypi.. I understand the mechanical side, the software side, but just couldn't find a well versed and exampled documentary on how circuitry works.. on how to calculate the resistance needed and everything all in one video... This is genuinely GOLD man. This makes sense. Thank you

In the video starting at 13 min 30 sec, the second resistor in the drawing shows 220 ohms, but you meant this to be 22 ohms.

This has got to be one of my most favorite educational channels.<br><br>Absolutely top notch!

You break the components/circuits down so clearly with simple images it makes it much easier to follow than most of the other subject videos on YouTube. Thanks!

I can't tell you how grateful I am for making these videos; I have a hard time accepting "this does that" without an explanation of the underlying foundations of why it "does that". Your explanation down to physical properties of the material is precisely what makes me go "oh! that's why!" and what I've been looking for all this time I've been trying to learn electronics. Keep up the amazing work and thank you!

Thought the title was "How octopuses work", which is why I clicked. Can't say I was disappointed.
