It's hard to pinpoint exactly why Collin's Lab is so damned entertaining while being quietly informative. But it really is! Thanks, y'all!

[@bradleynatarian]

I love Collin's electronics videos. I wish I could look as classy as him when I'm building circuits. Keep the videos coming!

[@8yerbrain]

The guy is just plain likeable.

[@sirjamesfancy]

Heck yeah

[@coldiso]

I really enjoy how much this crew loves noise makers, cyber punk and sharing knowledge in a fun way.

[@mokmo23]

More Collin s lab! Please!

[@GroovyGI]

Finally a breadboard video that is not dry and boring. And from a company that sells some great parts.

[@nullthegrey]

Around 0:53 I was expecting you to say "Mr. Anderson..."

[@u8915055]

This is my absolute favorite series on youtube.. as someone else says, the Alton Brown of electronics.. well done!

[@LucasWeakley]

Great to see Collin in more videos!!!

[@jdmarino]

I've really liked Collin's videos.

[@JustinHallPlus]

By the way, that solder spool tensioner thing is awesome.

[@doml8520]

Very cool, I hope to see a sequel about moving the circuit onto a homemade pcb

[@I967]

Collin the greatest! I've learnt so much by watching your videos! Thank you so much!

[@F_N9901]

I967 me2

[@SotosAlex]

Absolutely LOVE Collin's Lab! Missed these videos so much!

[@ankushkakne9530]

This is one of the best breadboard video. A must watch video who wanna know how to use a breadboard. This person makes amazing videos.

[@YeahItsThatBad]

Collin, you did it again! Well done!

[@DavideNastri]

I love visiting the lab. You guys are awesome!

[@AlexRubio]

collin been looking for your stuff ever since make video's. Keep the great work going. We need more!!Well i do.

[@fernandocabette6050]

Glad you are still doing this series, I really love your videos!

[@JerryEricsson]

If there is one thing better then an educational Electronics Video, it is an educational Electronics Video that is funny! This video, and the preceding ones were BOTH, and I love them. I have always maintained that in order to stay young, a feat I am trying very hard to accomplish, despite my 67 years on this big blue marble, one must keep his mind active, to do this, I attempt to find some new knowledge to absorb, these videos do that nicely and always with a smile. So thank you both for keeping me young and involved in the electronics.

[@thewordwithin]

Thanks Collin's lab for the advise you give. It is very, very well done. Keep up the great work. God bless.

[@PrimalEdge]

glad to see Collin! love his videos!

[@raywachaga]

Whoa! I didn't know you could connect so many components to a breadboard with some creative 'jumping'. Thanks!

[@JustinHallPlus]

Another cool video. Thanks to all involved.

[@pedroserapio8075]

Amazing video editing, clean, sharp. Congratulations. Great work.

[@Professzore]

Just two footnotes/hints. 1. Re-bend bend the leads of the component after soldering to a stright vertical position. It will be seriously easier to de-solder. 2. Use properly sized socket for ICs, do not solder them directy onto the board. Two reasons: 1. no heat stress on IC, 2. easier de-soldering.

[@rland93]

Love it when Agent Smith teaches us electronics! Thanks.

[@remowo_]

Oh yeah...Collin once in a while...therapeutic :) keep those videos rolling guys

[@altacbori4836]

Great style and top-notch quality, well done.

[@tim8602]

I learning so much from these videos, thanks!

[@CallilCapuozzo]

yes! can't wait for the pcb video next, it would be good to start getting into some intermediate stuff.

[@peterlake9448]

Haha great ending. Thanks Collin and Adafruit gang.

[@robertkielty5094]

Collin you're a legend. Is it true that you are friends with Neo?

[@FrequencyBender]

Lol! At the end of the video my attention drifted off to one of my projects. I thought my little home made amp was shorting out! I was all like heey, what's this, why are you dying on me now? Haha! But it's still alive pfieeuw... Thanks for the video :D...

[@PuffyCatTail]

Yay!!! A video by Collin. :)

[@benjaminmolnar3881]

These are so concise and informative. I wish I found tjese when I was first getting into electronics.

[@newelectricmango]

The camera sliding feels a bit awkward. Maybe try more still shots? Anyway, glad to see Collin's Lab is back! Loved these simple and inspiring series.

[@casiothestrong]

Collin you're amazing! I want to see you do more videos about electronics. :P I've seem pretty much all the Collins Lab playlist.

[@AndyDeMeyer]

Great video as always. Keep 'em coming :)

[@fknbastages]

Loved it, thank you. Funny and informative for dummies like me.

[@mysss29]

THANK YOU SO MUCH oh my gosh I was so confused looking at all the options before and wondering how the things even worked

[@bigmikeh5827]

Another great vid Collin.

[@Conlan0215]

I subscribed solely because of Collin's lab. Keep it up!

[@dobrew9]

Its back I love the colins lab series

[@TuneintoLearning]

I'm 29, living the pandemic, and I have found my favorite sensei. I'm trying to get more into electronics, I really wan't to become an electrical engineer, i have the aptitude, and eagerness that I haven't had, always been in a fog on my path in life. I APPRECIATE YOU EFFORT ON TEACHING.

[@megadeth369]

Love your show

[@Oinikis]

I need more of this amazing music

[@john-mg3ex]

I have little technical ability But love watching Collins lab

[@danielgazda]

It took me some time to find your new home channel!!

[@TheVicky099]

Great video!

[@niranjanawati3315]

good to see ladyada .. Go Adafruit go!

[@johnnypinkleton9410]

I very much like these educational videos

[@JovenAlbarida]

Great video thanks

[@RealationGames]

Dude that's pretty massive solder spool. There should be a breadboard thingy for the double row headers. I hate hooking those up manually. Hold that thought, I think you could actually cut the breadboard underlying strips in half for that purpose! I'm going to try that now.

[@Oinikis]

I need more of this amazing music.

[@kf7tkj]

Collin's labs rock!!!

[@ibidathoillah2051]

Perfect couple at the end :)

[@Gabirell]

Hahaha Collin, you are a great actor (an a fantastic teacher) thanks for the explanation...

[@superrobotfan1099]

ALL HAIL MASTER Collin! Electronics Guru

[@dawson345]

More Colin!

[@TabletopJunkie]

Great video, good product to show with unintrusive product placement.

[@likjhnfkjsbn]

This guy is great!

[@Willyliemfams]

very good!

[@thomasalexander1563]

Nice content again.. Using perf board is same with breadboard.. But mush have soldering skill

[@skylerfether7184]

Yay, collin's back

[@doodh_jalebi]

Collin's Back!

[@evdawg1000]

Finally, he is back!

[@prakashc1918]

Interesting you are.Impressive style.......

[@ernestojimenez6085]

nice! Collin

[@garethprice4223]

He sounds like Agent Smith from "The Matrix". Love these videos!

[@rbmaserang]

wow really professor quality dude

[@noahyen]

Dude, i have to not idea what's going on ...but the host makes me want to buy one anyway!

[@brunoip]

yeah, Im gonna need the schematics of that circuit :)

[@darkfoxfurre]

Where can I get the music from this video? It's super awesome!

[@seal3081]

more please!

[@ukvemsord]

I wish there was a tutorial for that one!

[@scribble71891]

After finishing all my computer tech classes in college seeing the schematics in the beginning gave me ptsd.

[@alcapwned86]

The beat starting at 3:30 makes me extremely nostalgic for Super Metroid.

[@ZaneErickson]

let's say you have a proto board such as the beaglebone proto cape. it's essentially a perma proto board, but doesn't have the separation in the middle to isolate pins. how would one go about isolating the other side in case you want to put an ic or some sort of sensor on the cape?

[@arduinodaisycontrollers9421]

I need to know what the dope second tune is !!

[@moosepiss9]

Great video! Anyone else think he looks related to Agent Smith from The Matrix, with his facial mannerisms and tone? Hilarious.

[@mattrenegar476]

im glad collins back but we already know what breadbords are. can we please get some of the juicy hacker electronics knowledge that is in his brain?

[@robertparks2933]

More Collin Labs and please make the music downloadable!!!!

[@EliSettle]

what are the resistor and cap values so i can make my own

[@domareidal5997]

whats's the song that plays when he's using the perfboard???

[@43monk]

Please oh please oh please tell me that Collin's lab is back?!

[@youtherbiswas8]

Hi, Myself Rajiv, from India..I have often found that while soldering on a Perforated Board the metal pads come out of the base plastic often, if a little heat is expended, while connecting, say, Node points, wherein two or three wires have to meet to form a Node point..If the Metal Pads come out then the circuit fluctuates due to loose joints, and the output is inaccurate. Is there any way to come across this Problem ? Thanks, Rajiv.

[@jamesfox8930]

MISSSSSSTER ANDERSON

[@RohinGopalakrishnan]

Yayy! Collins back. (^_-)

[@zachsofai5458]

more collins lab

[@ailaG]

What do you do when many components need to connect to the ground or Vcc on your perfboard? I'm somewhat new to the perfboard, I did a project with an Arduino and 6 (7?) components (to date. I plan on expanding it) and they all needed to be connected to ground. I ended up running an exposed wire through them hovering a few mms above the board and then carefully taping it to make sure nothing shorts anything else but it's far from being a good solution. (Maybe I should've shrink tubed? And then exposed parts of it?) Though it did work fine so far & stayed secure through flights and events I brought it to. Great tutorial Adafruiters :) BTW, if anyone's interested in my small project, look for "Dalek Fez" on my channel.

[@nextstorming3908]

She has such a high voice

[@KiR_3d]

2:46 - what is this trimmer pot. name, please?

[@ritvikvaishnav3472]

more colin pls

[@imho2278]

The perfect geek.

[@StarskySTARS]

I noticed that he is soldering without a fume extractor, isnt there potential health risks with this? even if you use lead free solder?

[@primemeow]

Wilder wild I think he has one off camera

[@Strider-Ragnarok]

Does Collin have his own channel on KZbin?

[@edgeeffect]

The PermaProto board is a great thing... but... I've been using YwRobot's breadboard PSU ( www.hobbytronics.co.uk/prototyping/breadboards/breadboard-power-supply ) but the spacing between the power rails and the main prototyping area is a little wider on a regular breadboard and a little narrower on a PermaProto board

[@muhammadnoumankhan9735]

Sometimes power electronics components have wider legs and cannot be inserted in to bread board in that case how to fix that components?

[@bjrntnnesen9207]

Is lam you cant fix it. you need to find “breadboard friendly” of it.
