Anyone knows a good resource for soldering components in laptops?

I do not think I have seen Khan Academy mentioned here:

https://www.khanacademy.org/science/electrical-engineering

Here you can see

Visualizing the Fourier expansion of a square wave   

https://www.khanacademy.org/science/electrical-engineering/ee-signals/ee-fourier-series/v/ee-visualize-fourier-series-square-wave

An excellent book from TI about opamp applications, and a lot of other useful stuff:

(This was on another EEVblog forum)

[DP53]

A lot of information about various sensors, transmitters (temperature, mechanical specifications, photo effects, thermocouples, etc.): http://senphys.com/

[KD0CAC John]

On the RF side of things , and over on the RF / ham radio forum here , another ebook & videos .
Half way through and looks good .

Just found this (apologies if already mentioned)
http://www.mosaic-industries.com/embedded-systems/microcontroller-projects/electronic-circuits/push-button-switch-turn-on/latching-toggle-power-switch

This particular page shows many circuits of on-off function from a push button with very clear circuits and good explanation.
The pages are well written and well laid out.

The site is a good reference for all things electronic, and has excellent navigation on the left hand pane.
Many resources for micro-contoller peripherals,  interfaces, touch screens etc.

Sorry if a few channel names were straggler's unrelated to EE.. Perhaps someone may do a list in MPU's and FPGA's related to coding.

You have Hydraulic Press Channel in the list

Awe shucks, that's just anger management. You ever think some bad EE projects may need fluid force before tossing in the trash?

good reason I guess lol, your project doesn't work? crash it in hydraulic press!

[Cliff Matthews]

    Actually I am looking for MCU links

You may want to add to an item I posted in sub-forum MCU's & FPGA's about the need for a resource sticky there too. It's funny how folks that type so much (coding) had no resource list to help out with the basic stuff.. Maybe they like asking and answering the same questions over and over? I don't know..

Hi ez24, good idea. Long messy url's should be hidden and a short description can be given instead, like this (thanks to Ian.M for lending me his brain):

Code: [Select]

[url=http://www.example.com/anypage]description text for link goes here[/url]Wish I could offer more, but I leave for the Caribbean Tuesday (I've just 3-weeks to forget about the Canadian snow..)

OpenStax was started by Rice University.  They write openly licensed college textbooks.  Limited subjects available.  But, what they do have avail is very good (Calculus, Statistics, Chemistry, Physics, etc):

Here's a well done small collection of "Handyman's Guide to..." articles from The National Radio Astronomy Observatory:
http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~pharden/hobby/Hobby.shtml

Could be of some help for the new Makers among us.

coursera.org has some pretty good lectures from georgia tech!

[PDXjason]

CODE, by Charles Petzold, if no one else mentioned it.  Although it deals with understanding code, it also goes through logic, relays and other EE-related things.
