Electronics Tutorial Video Learning to use a new oscilloscope can be daunting! In this video, I show five measurements you can make using just an Arduino as your DUT. Learn how to offset voltage, set up measurements, enable infinite persistence, save reference waveforms, AND trigger (and decode) serial signals. For this video, Rohde & Schwarz was kind enough to send me an RTM3004. Check out the links below for more. Episode #28 Show Notes and…

In part 3 of the DIY Arduino series, James solders, turns on, and, debugs the Pyramiduino! In this episode you can see how to solder parts with a toaster oven, test a board with a scope, and program an Arduino bootloader. Episode #27 Show Notes and Links Support AddOhms on Patreon Order Pyramiduino R5 from OSHPark JEDEC Reflow Profile via Diodes Inc. MG Chemicals Low-Temp Solder Paste via Digi-Key FTDI Friend from Adafruit Coin Acceptor…

This week the bald engineer unboxes swag from electromaker.io, programs the Adafruit Coin Accepter, with a Pyramiduino, and answers questions along the way. Interesting time code jump points: 7:59 – See Programming Bootloader Clip12:11 – Coin Acceptor Programming18:00 – Pulses on the R&S RTM3004 Oscilloscope42:05 – Code working as intended!

The primary tool I use to create AddOhms animations is Adobe After Effects. In this live stream, I take you through the process I use. For an upcoming video, I needed an animation showing how the Arduino Uno’s auto-reset circuit works. As you can see, what is on screen for a few minutes (at most) can take several hours of effort!

This video is part of a 3 part series, with the other two parts coming in the future. When it’s time to design a custom PCB for your project, you might be wondering how to design in an Arduino. This video shows the pieces that go into the schematic. The next video will show how to layout the PCB. And after the boards come back, I will show how to turn it on. Related Videos…

Part two of the DIY Arduino series. In this video, we create the PCB. Also, the project gets a new name: Pyramiduino. Watch the process to make a PCB in KiCad. And the Bald Engineer gives you a challenge, can you find the unconnected nets before he does? Check out Part 1 – the Schematic and subscribe to see when Part 3 – Turn On is posted.

When asking questions in a forum, like the Arduino forum, it is important to Post Your Code! It is so difficult to help without seeing what you intended. This was a team effort from the members of the Arduino forum. First, all of the people who help answer questions, of which, there are too many to list. The real credit goes to wildbill and Grumpy_Mike. wildbill wrote the original lyrics and Grumpy_Mike put them to…

https://youtu.be/7vhvnaWUZjE Trying to decide between an Arduino or Raspberry Pi for your project? In this video we look at what the difference between the two boards are and talk about what kinds of projects each are best at. Episode Notes This one has been a long time in the making for two reasons. First, I spent some time creating an opening sequence for the videos. Thanks to everyone who helped me decide on the right…

https://youtu.be/WxJKXGugfh8 We live in a world of analog. Clocks are a great example of how time is continuously changing with nearly infinite precision. However, when you look at a digital clock, there are very specific “digits”. (Get it? Digital… Digits…) Using the analogy of clocks, this TutorialCast explains the basic difference between Analog and Digital Electronics. It ends with a slight twist.
