The "8-bit breadboard computer" (https://eater.net/8bit https://eater.net/8bit) series is phenomenal. The videos are so clear and so well explained - after watching them I ordered the clock module kit, and now I'm addicted to electronics. Before, electronics seemed so abstract to me. After watching the videos and messing around with the kit, I was able to come up with an idea for something I wanted to make and then (fairly) confidently IMPLEMENT it on a breadboard.
Ben Eater is a fantastic teacher. You forget how different "knowing" and "teaching" are, until you get a great teacher!
- joshlegs 7y agoThis video series singlehandedly inspired me to delve into hardware (i'm a software guy). It's INCREDIBLY well done, and easy to follow. Fast forward to now, when I've blown several hundred dollars on electronics supplies lol. Plus Ben has a great voice to listen to, so there's also that.
- andyguzman 7y agoYouTube randomly recommended the first part of the video card series to me a few weeks back. I'd never seen this channel before. I checked it out just to get the general idea of what he was doing but figured I'd bail on it a few minutes in once I couldn't follow along anymore. Instead I got completely sucked in. His explanations were so clear I was able to understand the majority of the process and could possibly even replicate it or guess at the next step after watching for a bit. I felt like I learned more in that 30 minute video than I did in my whole year of high school electronics that scared me away from this sort of thing twenty years ago. My interest in doing some small projects is definitely piqued now.
