  • How to read a schematic, follow electronics circuit drawings to make actual circuits from them. This starts with the schematic for a very simple circuit with just some batteries, resistor, switch and an LED. Then it talks about Earth ground and chassis ground. Finally it moves on to a crystal radio amplifier schematic and adds a diode, potentiometer and capacitors.

    A little comment on the resistor values: When I started first building of schematics, notations like "4K7" or "6k8" confused me a lot, and took me some research to understand. As it turns out, the little dot (or comma) in 4.7kOhm easily gets lost when you don't write that neat, thus resulting in someone using a 47k resitor instead.
    To prevent that, they choose to place the 'extra' symbol (kilo, mega, etc.) between the full and decimal numbers. So 4.7kOhm becomes 4k7, 6.8kOhm becomes 6K8 and so on.

    Excellent...I have a high end amplifier I'm wanting to fix myself. I've already replaced the power supply capacitors and all the relays but I've reached the end of my knowledge and understanding. This helped a ton, and now I feel like I can actually find enough information and learn how to fix it. I found a schematic for $6 online, now I have a much better idea what I'm looking at. I've built a few crossovers for speaker kits, so I had a basic understanding, but this short video cleared up a lot of questions I already had.

    fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeahhhhh, finally somebody knowledgeable enough to go back to the fundamentals. Its like cooking metaphorically speaking, once you understand the platform, and develop a baseline, building from that comes easily. Trying to remember parts over and over become redundant in never convincing the circuit simplicity!
