This tutorial will be your first step into the world of electronics. Here I will tell you about the three units that are commonly used when talking about electricity. You should have a good understanding of these, it will help you later. Now I know this can be hard. It took me about a year before I fully understood what current really was, then again I did not have this great tutorial to read . (continue reading…)

Resistors, one of the most common and simple parts used in electronics. So, what is a resistor? Why are they so useful? (continue reading…)

So you still want to learn more, well you are about to learn about the capacitor! I have to warn you, capacitors are more complicated then resistors, but you’ll be fine. Enough talk, what is a capacitor? (continue reading…)

The inductor tutorial! So you want to know what an inductor is? (continue reading…)

Diodes are the most basic semiconductor. A diode simply allows electricity to flow only one way. (continue reading…)

The next step into semiconductors, the transistor. Chances are you have heard of the transistor before. They are one of the more widely used components, a computer has massive amounts of them. So what is a transistor? (continue reading…)

So you have a 3x3x3 RGB LED Cube and you are board of the built in patterns. Now you want to try your hand at making your own patterns but you’re not quite sure where to start. You’ve come to the right place. In this tutorial I will explain how the demo code works and how it can be easily adapted to your new patterns. (continue reading…)
