The Maker Show - simple video tutorials on creating your own electronic devices

It has long wanted to learn how to solder, create your own device and make the surrounding area more intelligent with the help of modern digital media? These video tutorials with a simple and accessible presentation make it right now. And most importantly, they come and the children of seven years and a large bearded guy in his old age.

In order to learn how to design electronic devices, someone goes to university, someone reads the information in specialized communities, someone buys a thick book. Unfortunately, all of these methods is quite a high barrier to entry.

What about those who never knew how to solder, he does not know how to distinguish from Arduino Raspberry PiBut really want to learn? Perhaps we should start with the video lectures The Maker ShowThat cover all the basic questions of modern home DIY-electronics - from soldering to create their own programs, bringing together domestic gadgets in smart home system. Leading speak in English, but there are Russian subtitles (although not very good quality), which will facilitate the understanding of those who are not well-lingual.

A little about accessibility. The first series of The Maker Show tells the smallest and those who skipped physics at school, how to get electricity with the help of available tools (batteries and lemons) and apply it in practice - to connect Light-emitting diode. Following is shown the same experience on the breadboard.

Thus, by viewing a video, you can see what a resistor, prototyping board, voltage, current, performance (power and operation), what types of connecting resistors exist and how they affect the flowing current.

The next lesson is dedicated to the same light-emitting diodes that make flash using Arduino Uno. It also briefly disclosed the basic principles of programming microcontrollers. Next, the audience is invited to a record dedicated to connecting the servos and the creation of mobile elements (including the necessary manipulations with the controller).

One of the video describes in detail the soldering technology. Despite the very easy to grasp presentation, the authors do not miss important details.

The channel The Maker Show regularly come out with new issues, such as wearable devices, stepper motors and other electronic utility. It is possible to download video and source code projects.
