Created in 2007 and produced by Bre Pettis together with Joe Grand, the Awesome Electronics Workshop video series focused on electronics and engineering skill building tutorials for hobbyists.

Episodes:

• Intro to the Arduino

This video introduces the Arduino open-source hardware and covers basic setup and programming. Arrrr-duino!

• • • • Supporting Material

• Playing with RF Modules

This video introduces RF transceiver modules and shows you how they can be put to good use.

• • • • Supporting Material

• LCD and Global Positioning System (GPS) Modules

This video introduces LCD and GPS technologies, shows you how to put together a simple project combining both, and takes you on a whirlwind treasure hunt!

• • • • Supporting Material

• RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and Text-To-Speech

RFID and text-to-speech. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. This video introduces the technologies and we show you how to put together a simple project combining both.

• Introduction to Oscilloscopes

An oscilloscope is an electronic measurement device that allows you to visually observe the characteristics of a circuit and how they change over time. This video introduces oscilloscopes and their many uses in debugging, reverse engineering, and hardware hacking.

• How to use a Multimeter

This video covers the most basic elements of a multimeter and discusses techniques for measuring continuity, resistance, voltage, and current.

• • • • Supporting Material

• Soldering and Desoldering Tutorial 

A 19-minute crash course in the basics of proper soldering techniques. We also cover multiple techniques for desoldering through-hole and surface mount components.
