I dont know why, but I loved the end screen with the servo waggling all over the table. I could watch that for hours. Good video

Last night I was thinking of what I wanted to accomplish today and I settled on learning about servos. This morning youtube recommended this video. I did buy some cheap servos a few years ago but never did anything with them, I guess it's time to hunt them down and apply what I learned.

wow, this is a great channel, you are not just another theory only or salvaging and hacking only electronic channel but you actually know and explain the theory behind them. so there are channels dedicated to pure theory and calculation like professors that hardly do any hands on practical projects, and there are channels by electronic hobbyist that are high school drop outs and could hardly explain a simple theory but just pure hands on electronic salvaging, but this channel is the best of both worlds.

You also could use a 2 transistor "multivibrator" setup, which btw also offers the pwm counterpart exit for a proportional opposite motor control. This comes handy if you need to control 2 servos with mirrored turns, such as pulling or pushing synchronously an object from both sides.

links to other videos for the mentioned components/consepts like 1) stepper motor, 2) duty cycle of a rectangular signal, 3) h-bridge, etc. would be very helpfull. if every video had these, a noob in electronics would be able to drill down recursively to the absolute basics, like voltage, current and transistors and then back up the "tree" to understand the initial video in every possible way. and that would increase views as well, and increase your revenue. just a tip. keep up making these videos, they are very helpful. i find myself frequently referencing to your channel after reading a piece from "The Art of Electronics" for the real world examples.

Hey, fantastic video! I remember you saying in one of your Q&As that you make your videos in English because it's good practice, which I immensely respect. In that spirit, I'd like to point out one small wording mismatch -- when talking about the 555 circuit as opposed to the Arduino, you say 'capacitors, resistors, etc.' "in this constellation" as you show the schematic. I believe the word you were looking for was "configuration". I want to reiterate that this was a fantastic video, and the only reason I mention this is because you have expressed a desire to sharpen your english... not to be a grammar nazi xD Thanks!

@deathwish3611 7 жыл бұрын

I have no idea what your saying 60% of the time. Why do I watch if I don't know what your talking about? Because I love electronics and your voice is relaxing to me.

@yuchengzhu7178 7 жыл бұрын

1. To understand how to control servos as a blackbox, buy Arduino and a servo, and then code to control the servo. 2. After that, if you care about what's inside the servo's control circuit, look it up online to build your own servo from a DC motor.
