      Your right-Half way through I was wondering how I could be watching a tutorial on You Tube without feeling the usual compulsion to violently attack someone. The reason (of course) - no stupid annoying drum beating background R&R/ Pop Muzak.

      It's totally the opposite of those tutorials that say, "Now you go over here and click this, and then you change the value over there..." HUH? WHAT? WHERE? I didn't see that.
      Yes, it's planned ahead. If those other tutorials were giving GPS driving instructions, they would be saying, "Turn left at the--Oh you just missed it. The place back there. Might as well go home and start over."
      And no annoying music. I've seen questions online asking, "What music should I use with my video of (how to bake a cake) (me riding my horse) (how to teach ASL) ??" Well, how about NO MUSIC AT ALL?

The new future is now better than ever. And ofcourse i'm not going to tell you that, it will mess the timeline or some shit. You know how it goes, ever hear of butterfly effect!?

There are apps that allow you to create/test code for arduino on mobile, the main two being Icircuits on iOS and tinkercad, but there’s currently no way to download said code directly from your phone to the arduino. So yes, you can code, but you jump through some hoops to get it onto an actual arduino

Did he tell you or it was at school where you learned of all types of variables and when to use them? If you hadn't gone to school would you really understand the whole video? I wouldn't understand what he means by 1s and 0s, variable, integer, 555 circuit, analog/digital difference, potentiometer and a lot of terms he uses in his video.

MIO's and the full spectrum of test equipment. It's really satisfying after releasing a completed test large enough it takes roughly 1 year of design, programming, debug and release.

So far I haven't gotten a grasp on them ... I understand they vibrate reaching a super high frequency but I yet don't understand how it controls the CPU speed. Thanks a LOT!!

    • @Afrotechmods
      @Afrotechmods  Před 7 lety +27

      Imagine those high frequency vibrations caused high frequency changes in voltage. Then imagine there was some circuitry to convert those small voltage changes into a clearly defined square wave of a certain frequency. Then that square wave (the "clock") tells transistors in a CPU when to switch!

    • @JasonMasters
      @JasonMasters Před 7 lety +16

      Quartz has the strange characteristic that if you squeeze or stretch a crystal made of it, a voltage with a particular polarity is developed across the crystal. This also works in reverse so that if you put a voltage across the crystal, it tends to either compress or expand slightly, depending on the polarity of the applied voltage.
      When a quartz crystal is cut to a specific shape and size, it will tend to vibrate at a particular frequency and only at that frequency if an oscillating electric current is applied across it. With a little electric circuitry to support it, the crystal can be made to oscillate (vibrate) at only that frequency, and the oscillations can be detected and used to drive circuits such as computers at a very precise rate.
      Computer CPUs need a clock signal in order to keep everything running together. For example, you don't want a register to try to latch in a data byte from memory before the memory has had time to supply that data byte. The clock signal is used to make sure that everything runs at the same speed. A quartz crystal is a convenient way of supplying that clock signal.
      An RC oscillator can be used instead, but it's not as precise as a crystal. Some things such as serial communications require a more precise clock signal than can be supplied using an RC oscillator, so a crystal oscillator is usually used instead.

    i got an elegoo kit for Christmas this year and started tinkering with it right away, I got some experience with components and breadboarding since that's what I do at my school, but I never used a microcontroller like Arduino, at the end of the day I managed to build a distance alarm using a sensor, although I followed a tutorial, I remade most of the sketch to suit my likings. I'm pretty proud of it

    I don't know if this was said in the video but I think it's worth mentioning that trinket also work with the arduino programmer.
    And that you can include different "libraries" to help communicating with components. E.g. a servo that outputs in degrees and RGB-LED-strips

    10:58 i remember doing this tutorial at school except we weren’t told to put a resistor in the circuit...later i used that same arduino for a robot project and it was always faulty. It never worked properly even though the coding was correct and all. I wondered for so long why it wouldn’t work and now I’m convinced the pin is ruined as mentioned at 11:06 or that the motors themselves were broken...
