This is fantastically clear teaching - really very good (you'd be a great teacher or lecturer!)

[@vaansimplex]

This helped me a lot, thanks!

[@tim_allen_jr]

Well made 🧠📈✨️

[@mrmathman]

I don;t understand why in the LED example the red wire connects 3.3V to the positive strip but then nothing else connects to it? What is the point of that connection?

[@Core-Electronics]

If you are just wiring up the LED and resistor the red wire is not needed! We did it because the circuits after do need it.
