      Hey, much appreciated. I say this because I do maintenance for XPO and Holland freight and we do knock out where we remove c channel from concrete and jackhammer concrete and repour and weld dock plate and bumpers. A lot of work but definitely appreciated by those forklift drivers n truckers to keep production going. Good job n forgive me for grammar.

      I have been retired for 3 years. I had to understand schematics and digital circuits as wells as pumps and motors for my job in power plant operations. I was not trained formally as an electrician. I knew what I didn't know but I could understand what I needed to know for personal and plant safety. However, I never understood enough that I could explain it or teach somebody else. I wish I was trained with these videos 30 years ago because they are so clear compared to drawing in a text books. May be then I could explained how things worked better because I knew things did work.

    Listen my guy... I have looked far and wide.. just got started with Arduinos, esp8266, and raspberrypi.. I understand the mechanical side, the software side, but just couldn't find a well versed and exampled documentary on how circuitry works.. on how to calculate the resistance needed and everything all in one video... This is genuinely GOLD man. This makes sense. Thank you

    I can't tell you how grateful I am for making these videos; I have a hard time accepting "this does that" without an explanation of the underlying foundations of why it "does that". Your explanation down to physical properties of the material is precisely what makes me go "oh! that's why!" and what I've been looking for all this time I've been trying to learn electronics. Keep up the amazing work and thank you!

    When discussing optocouplers, it's a good idea to mention Vactrols aka resistive optoisolators. They aren't ofren used these days in new designs, but in the past they were widely used in audio gear like guitar effects and analog synthesizers. Since these are both popular topics, DIYers are likely to encounter the Vactrol sooner or later.

    I still remember back in 1980. We had an industrial application to measure PH Levels. It had an optocoupler of earliest design. A 1/2" plastic tube with 2 wires coming out of each end . // \\ They lasted about 4 months, and had to be replaced at a 1980 price of $80/EACH. 🤓 Much at my bosses dismay (wasting company time), I found out that there was a photo-transistor on one side, and a PR-2 flashlight bulb on the other side. The bulb burned out every 4 months. 🙄 These were glued in place with silicone. Bulb was less that a dollar.🤐 Boss never accused me of wasting time again.😄😄

    • @SandraWarmbreath
      @SandraWarmbreath 3 роки тому +1

      There were many very high quality optocouplers available in 1980 with extensive reliability data and used for the most sensitive and critical military and space apllications as well as commercial applications so you must have come across some really kludgy design.

    Very complete and concise presentation.
    I noticed one thing about PC817 though that surprised me. You show the pins 1, pin 2 on one side and pin 3, pin 4 on the other. According to the Sharp datasheet, pin 3 should be pin 4 and pin 4 should be pin 3. That is, the pins are numbered down one side and up the opposite side, not both sides from top down. Not sure that will cause anyone too much heart burn, but ...
