  I just think of how different my life could have been if I had more teachers that could engage their audience like you do Mark.<br>Love your work.

  I’m an electrical/computer engineer and I love using Arduino for projects. This is a great big picture explanation of how it all works together. Nicely done!

  you definitely need to know how to code, people can copy/paste whatever they want, but if they don&apos;t understand what they&apos;re reading they can&apos;t really tweak the stuff.

  I learnt 2 things today:<br>1: Arduino boards are cool<br>2: Electrons are tasty

  As an electronics engineer with 40 years experience I believe the Arduino project is one of the greatest enablers of technological advancement ever and its so easily available. Every test rig Ive built has arduinos on. Control, sensor interface, computation, display, logging, theres an arduino for everything. The Teensy 4, 600MHz, MB of ram, floating point math, its a dream come true. Bringing sorting algorithams to life with real world data is a beauty to behold. Could there be a project to spread arduinos to African schools ?

  Dentist: You have some cavities.<br>Me: It&apos;s not my fault that electrons are delicious.

  Microcontrollers were able to do this for decades. Having any kind of sensor on input, and any kind of actuator on output. But the revolution came with the simplicity of plugging it directly to USB, and having relatively simple code processing all the stuff. And, of course, the huge community support behind it. Love Arduinos, made tons of complex projects with them even with no previous experience with microcontrollers or ways to program any. Super easy to learn, and extremely powerful. I often have a feeling that the limit is only my imagination

  You said electrons move from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery, but in reality, the opposite happens.

  This breakdown was amazing, ive always been facinated with eletronics but stopped one step shy of code or circuit boards. i cant wait to learn more!

  Mark hit the nail on the head describing robotics: just inputs and outputs creatively mapped to each other through a computer. The only tricky bit is to figure out and lock down the interfaces between the components and the microcontroller&apos;s code. With robust interfaces, writing the actual code logic to do something useful becomes a walk in the park. Luckily, there&apos;s tons of code libraries that do this for you already--you just gotta find them and understand which one to use for which component type. Hoping for a follow up video like this one describing communication methods &amp; protocols (analog, digital, pwm, i2c, serial, CAN, etc.) and for what types of components they&apos;re typically applicable to

  The aha moment for me in this video is learning that devices like microwaves and cars are powered by custom pcbs 🤯

  What i love about Marks videos are that they are for all ages. He explains it in a way that makes sence to all ❤
