In this episode of DIY or Buy we will be having a look at a Fire TV Stick and its problem that you can not really power them with a TVs USB Port. There is a product out there that solves this problem but I think you can build such a circuit better, simpler and cheaper the DIY way. So let's find out how the buy option works and how can we can create a DIY solution with Supercapacitors! Let's get started!

In this video I will conclude the MOSFET Driver video series by having a closer look at Gate-Drive Transformers. As a practical example I will be using a Tesla Coil driver circuit that uses a Gate-Drive Transformer to control its MOSFETs. We will be finding out how the transformer works, how to use it in a circuit, how to create a DIY version and why using a commercial solution often makes more sense. Let's get started!

In this project I show you how I build my LED Bar around my 15x10 RGB LED Matrix. I will mainly talk about the construction of the frame for the matrix and the wood construction for the bar itself. On the electronics side I will also talk about a small Attiny85 light controller to light up my WS2812B LED strip.

In this episode of electronics basics we will be having a closer look at latch circuits. As the name suggests, a latch circuit activates/deactivates a switching element through one Set/Reset voltage input pulse and keeps it in that state. Because of that latch circuit are everywhere. They are part of other circuits or come in the form of power switches or latching relays. Let's learn all about them and build one!
