There are two basic ways to connect electronic components with two terminals: series and parallel. In this episode, we examine those two types of circuits and show how to calculate equivalent resistance.

Continue reading

Power is the rate of doing work, and for electricity, that means the rate in which energy is converted in a circuit.

Continue reading

Let's look at the resistor and how it affects current and voltage in a circuit. Here's a hint: if you know two of either voltage, current or resistance, you can solve for the third.

Excited to see this new GNSS board added to the mix!

Does this possibly hint at the stock may be in by then to fulfill the pre-orders?!? <fingers crossed!> or are you using samples you already…

Oops -- I missed the "in-person", and thought that it was going to be via one of the e-meeting things. I won't be able to attend in-person,…

I presume that the "5:30-6:30 pm" is MOUNTAIN DAYLIGHT TIME (i.e. "Denver") time.

Ah we also wish there was a Qwiic Connector on the new Pi 5! Hopefully we can make this happen in the future!

We will! The chemical makeup of the battery is different from any other type of battery we've carried in the past so we want to make sure we…

Is sparkfun also getting the little RTC batteries with the cord attached for the RPI5?

A couple of "conspicuous by their absence": First, our friends over at Adafruit have a LOT of items that have…

I finally had some time late yesterday to watch a couple of the videos on YouTube that reviewed the "pre-release" samples of the RPi 5 that…

OK, found an "implication of an answer" -- over on Adafruit's "New Products" list is [Raspberry Pi 5 RTC…
