SD cards in Raspberry Pi computers wear out and die after a while because they are not made for computer usage, and many write cycles. In addition, the SD cards can become corrupted if the Pi loses power without a proper shutdown. We have several possibilities to avoid this disaster. Only one is simple and cheap. But, unfortunately, it has its caveats. So let’s get an overview and use a nearly unknown Raspbian feature to help us solve the problem.

This video shows how to use Arduino interrupts to measure the speed of a strong 4 wire fan. It shows also the steering of the RPMs by using a PWM signal. And it measures the transfer function of the fan.
The fan is part of my Wind Tunnel Project.
In the next video I will close the loop with a PI controller programmed into the Arduino to stabilize automatically a choosen RPM.

This is a re-run of a video made on May 6, 2018. Of course, some of the tools are replaced. But many stayed. I will pin a comment with the changed tools.
Which are the essential tools in a lab? Which one do I use, and how am I organized? A video for all who are curious about how it looks behind the camera. Maybe you will discover something you can use for your own work?
This is also one of my few "real" appearances on YouTube.

In summer 2015 I decided to change from a passive YouTube viewer to the role of an active YouTube creator. Since then I learned a lot. Some things I believe are interesting for you if you think about starting your channel, but most of it is also interesting, maybe even important for viewers.
This is why I would like to let you see behind the scenes and discuss the vital question: Why to become a YouTube creator and why to continue to be one? The answering of this question should also lead to understanding some of the changes on this channel for 2018.
It is nine months since my last update in April. Back then this channel had around 20’000 subscribers. Today, it has more than 50’000. I take this fact as feedback that many of you like the content it provides.

In this video I compare two USB loads. One is passive with just two resistors. The other is active and also with cooling.

Stripping isolation from copper is an essential task for most of us. Today we will compare several wire strippers, and we will find out if the German strippers really are better than the Asian, as quite a few viewers suggested. And we will find out which strippers would fit a typical American president!
