Can you please show us how different electrical components likes transistors, capacitors and others work together in a circuit

[@andremurojisu]

Thanks Paul...

@@tulanichiyowele6304 We have many videos on this already, please check them out

[@tulanichiyowele6304]

@@EngineeringMindset I have but I want something were all different types of components work together in one circuit board . For example a high voltage multiplier

[@EngineeringMindset]

OK I see. We have done some in the Time delay relays video. How the components act together

[@SlimJongUn]

I like that you include even the basics in your videos.

We try to make it a level playing field so no matter the viewers experience they leave knowing more

OMG I totally so agree First step motor diy video guy I've subscribed to!

[@zockerco8134]

In the end everything complex is just a connection of multiple simple things understanding the components better makes it self explanatory which makes these videos awesome

[@KpxUrz5745]

One of the clearest and best explanations of anything I've ever seen on youtube.

I had already learn about stepper motors but with you there is always something new to learn. God's speed ♥️

[@fredchevalier2333]

Let me just say I love your channel, I am a tool guy and love electronics but I'm also a high school dropout (married young), yet I just woke up and had no problem understanding this, very clear and to the point

[@timothysands5537]

Great video, superbly explained. Greatly appreciated how you covered the various types of stepper motor designs and their strengths/ use case

[@Frack_Black]

Incredibly well demonstrated and explained.

[@Intelli_Jayant]

[@ivanbratanov8699]

A very simple detailed video! I’ve got everything at once! Thank you!

[@cooldaniel6]

Was thoroughly impressed with this video. Wish my engineering teachers taught this well.

[@tonyjeffs2875]

as a professional designer of stepper based systems for global slot machine companies, I find your explanation of basic operation well thought out, methodical and covers most of the basics, well done!

[@sebastienparent4606]

at 11:30 when he explain how it move around, what stop the rotor to move backward, how does the magnetic field know to move it in a certain direction? rotor teeth have the same polarisation and the stator have the oposite polarisation wich is why it move i get that much but why in the direction it is going?

[@ethanjennings6442]

​​@@sebastienparent4606here are two sets of coils in the stator that are controlled independently (each controlled by its own pair of wires, A and B). Each pair can be given a positive or negative voltage. Positive voltage will make the coils in the set have poles facing one way and negative voltage flips them. In the basic wave drive version, only one set of coils is energized at once, so there are 4 possible "states" which I'll call A+, B+, A-, B-. While in the state A+, the rotor can either rotate clockwise into B+ or counterclockwise into B-. So you can control the direction just by the order that's energized. A+, B+, A-, B- for clockwise and backwards (A+, B- A-, B+) for counter clockwise.

Brilliant explanation! Thank you!

Been watching motor explanations for ages trying to get my head around how it works & this was the first time I think I actually got it enough to make my own from memory. Thanks a lot! 😊

[@Chillingworth]

Thanks. Just got my first stepper recently and haven't found this clear of an explanation of how the thing works anywhere.

[@niklar55]

Thanks! Thats added a little to my knowledge, and cleared away a little of the mystery. Clear concise, and to the point. Couldn't be better.#.
