https://youtu.be/GrvvkYTW_0k Following up from Episode #10 on BJTs, this episode is focused on introducing MOSFETs. It is the longest video we’ve done yet, coming in just over 7 and a half minutes.   There is a basic overview of how MOSFETs work, compared to a BJT.  And something that is really important to consider:  how hot is it going to get?  So we go through how to calculate power dissipation and if you need a…

https://youtu.be/sRVvUkK0U80 The two most popular kinds of transistors you might use for a project are either BJTs or MOSFETs.  With so many options, it was tough to pick just a few.   We covered the 2n3904 in this video.  What BJTs are your favorites and why?  Leave a comment below. Transistors are electronic switches that are used to control things that would kill an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Beaglebone.  There are two major types known…
