It's a course + development kit combo, where you build projects along with the videos. Very practical, starts from literally "what is electricity" and ends at "you can design a PCB for this automation device". For me, as a beginner, it was amazing!

The included kit is a very cheap chinese uno that cost a few dollars. It's mainly $400 of what otherwise you can get elsewhere free. For the same money you could own quality books, a proper dev kit and work on tools to get started. Or you can go the free route and buy a decent starter scope.

whilst head scratching the other night, watched two and a half of these MIT Power Electronics lectures

Hello. I'm looking for help in setting up the correct parameters to connect voltage leads to channel 1 and a Hantek CC-650 amperage clamp to channel 2 using an OWON HDS2202S Handheld oscilloscope to perform a 12 volt alternator ripple test. I did a trial run after a lot of reading but the sine wave was very erratic and I was unable to discern voltage above and below the mean as there were no voltage numbers along the Y-axis lines. Any help or direction would be appreciated. I have a good knowledge of electrical systems and some electronics.

regards,

Donald

Hello, I've tried to go to the Navy course you posted a link to and all I get is the dreaded " We're having trouble finding that page" response. I use Firefox browser. Is the link still live? Thank you........great site.

You will have to do better than that if you want to shill your own stuff.

I'm a newcomer here to learn from everyone, thanks a lot.

Hi everyone, I've been trying to repair some old audio equipment and electronics and I'm realizing that fixing broken circuits requires a different approach than building new ones. Could anyone recommend resources in any format to learn diagnostic approaches, common failure patterns, and safety considerations? I've found some information on YT but I'd like to learn the process and not just specific solutions. Thanks

Here is a list of resources I've compiled. If you find some not listed feel free to post in the thread.

Troubleshooting Analog Circuits is gold! Thank you very much for the recommendations, I'm sure there are several more gems in that list 🙏
