As a former electronics student that didn't learn much just as you say how it goes and now I'm an electrical / mechanical design engineer, I like your viedo and you are spot on with how you souldn't and should learn electronics. Don't forget to mention a meter and an O-scope and learn how to use those as well........good luck in your career choices.

I also started with snap circuits lol

I also learned a lot from that same radio shack kit and still have mine. I got it back in 2001 , 2002. And thank you for this video.. these are some great points you bring up.

There are some useful stuff in this video, but it’s honestly kind of why I would expect from someone who is still an undergrad - thinks he has all the answers, but is clearly missing some key things It’s a very very smart video but it’s not a very wise video. And that’s OK so I’ll just have a couple things. Snap circuits and Arduino’s are great for people who are not even sure if they’re interested in electronics or they just have a certain project they want to do - for me I started in them before I was really sure of what I wanted to even do; but I quickly moved on to ESP 32s. And that’s a perfectly viable path. There is no correct path to take , regardless of what the snobs online may like to tell everybody I also recommend people go find a meet up for a club for electronics - getting to learn from mentors is the most important thing, especially if you don’t come from a family or a previous social circle that did anything with electronics Lastly - there are kits online with ESP 32s and stuff. I’m not really sure what he’s talking about.

thank-you for your video. This motivates me because I have always loved electronics and I love working with my hands. This was informative.

Is it important for an adult beginner in electronic

4:56 The "SunFounder Electronic Fun Kit with LCD 1602 Module, Basic Electronic Starter Kit with Detailed Tutorial, Breadboard..." for $22.49 on the right actually looks decent. I see an IC, a 14-pin DIP at a guess, resistors, what are either diodes or inductors, capacitors, what I think are transistors, LEDs, cables, switches, buttons, what looks like 2x20 characer LCD, maybe 2x16, a single digit 7-segment display, and a few other bits and bobs I can't quite identify from the picture. The breadboard looks to be a 400-pin one, so a bit weeny for anything beyond a simple clock or a few logic gates built with transistors, but it is just a $22.49 kit after all. Of course, if you are completely unfamiliar with electronics then you have no way to tell what's a decent started kit.

4:42 if your wondering, he never gave a proper outlet for beginners to start, he’s basically soft launching his own kit that he’ll want to sell in the future.

I found one with most of the components at good will for 5.99 my son is 9 and seems interested but I am learning myself so I will keep watching your videos

I Also had the snap circuit it really sparked my intrest

Good English lesson.

I started as a little kid with those small kits with two alligator clips a DC motor a small light bulb and switch all for about 1 dollar it's a really good start

"The problem with trying to learn basic electronics with an arduino is that you are transforming every single hardware problem you are trying to solve into a software one" Well said. I agree with everything here except conflating microcontrollers with microprocessors, a minor point. I will add to your point re fewer rather than more learning projects ... perhaps the best way to learn quickly is to have one or two real life projects in mind to make for yourself in your real life. Something that interests you, some task to automate, some small dc motors to drive, etc. I hope you come back and post more videos, looks like a great channel

Goddam in very young huh

USB rules. 😊

you've taught me more about capacitors than any other person ever did

Any plan to do one of those for adults who would like to learn electronics gear towards music?

I might be very late to the party, but nonetheless I say "yes" to the radio-shack like learning kits.

Some great advises in this video. I started (self learning) electronics when I was 13. (Now 60 and still in electronics / embedded systems). IMHO very important to learn with real components and learn the basic hardware parts and circuits before simply grab a microcontroller I learned a LOT using the old Philips kits. A basic “springs” board with switch, potentiometer, speaker, real parts, wires and enabling to use any part. And, last but not least.. a great book and example projects. I really liked the old board you showed, the breadboards are great, and having power, switch etc surrounding it is great. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kranenborg.org%2Fee%2Fimages%2Fappcompleet.jpg&tbnid=VzCmMUbjrkkYqM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kranenborg.org%2Fee%2F&docid=zy8a-JKGVz0RbM&w=1587&h=1133&hl=en-GB&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F7&kgs=338309adf54a7079&shem=abme%2Ctrie

This is the biggest issue. Price. Eveeything is super expensive. If i want to buy a set of flip flops, its a $1 each. It gets more expensive than a $4 arduino really fast

we need to bring radioshack back, its crazy how in a world so technological advanced like today, radioshack is missing

bro im just impressed how he has such good hand writing while holding the pen like that💀🗿🗿

why do you look exactly like the human version of baljeet from PnF?

Good video you identified good circuits that will build on other projects...identify your list of top 10 or 25 that are most common...

So, if i use DC input/batteries, Ground symbols means i need connect it to (-)

Somewhat misleading information. Most everything is correct BUT ground derives from the electrical grid where a grounding rod is driven into the ground and a grounded cable is attached then secured to the service panel. The ground is still a reference voltage closest (as long as everything is wired correct and no shorts to ground are present) to 0V but it's also a safety feature for any rogue current. The ground is literally the earthen ground. The closest thing in mobile electronics is the largest conductive object available which is most of the time the chassis.

Do you ship worldwide

Any recommendations on kits

I totally agree with that approach.

Buddy, I’m was extremely impressed by you young man!…..articulate & passionate in teaching others. Well done!!!

Young man you are very well spoken! Great things in your future

Are these kits still available? I went to the site and can't type anything in the spaces.

I had the same/a similar RadioShack kit that I got after my brother showed no interest in it. Some of the stuff I learned tinkering with it I'm still drawing from in my electronics class. It was so nice, I wish I knew where the hell it was.

I recently did a lab, in my electronics class, on reference ground. A few minutes I did not understand it. This makes more sense. Thank you!

You gonna release it.?

Nooooo bro u are my favorite KZfaqr come back 😭😭😭

hello from three years ago. this is the first video I've ever seen from you and it was really easy to follow and understand. the lecture was great! I bumped into this video because I was searching for ways to stop static electricity between me and my cat

The filter tho 😩

Amazing

Hello! I’ve ordered a kit that said it was expected to ship March. Have sent you a few emails inquiring about status. Can you check and get back to me with a status? Thanks!

Bro i completed ECE ( ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING ) in INDIA. Next which country do i choose to study my masters and which course.

ok but you need to slow down ! forget to take your Adderall ?

im a 24 year old, who is very interested in getting into Electronics, would this kit be helpful to myself?

I plan on getting your kit and I found a radio shack that's open its about a couple hour drive away from me but not sure it is the real one because radio shack is a trademark so idk.

I got a good breadboard kit when I was 11 (yes, it used “real” components) and I had knowledge from before (tinkercad yt etc.) and it worked out pretty fine for me

RaidoShack and the kits they sold were goated, RIP radioshack. At least i have a microcenter nearby.

Good explanation.

When i saw the radioshack logo i had to check the upload date 😅

I started with arduino

This video is just what I've been looking for. I'm mechanical trained but want to get started with electronics and honestly had no idea where to begin. This is exciting and I think I'll get my 12 year old daughter involved from day one 👍
