Testing our dynamic (or multiplexed) 7-segment display! After discussing how dynamic displays work and creating code to put any three-digit number on our display, Josh shows it in action. With the camera, you can even see some flickering that isn't visible to the naked eye, showing how each digit is driven independently. . . . . . #circuits #engineering #askanengineer #asktheexpert #stemeducation #semiconductor #analog #stem #howto #circuitbread #eefaq #circuitsnacks #instafacts #trivia #engineeringstudents #electronicslovers #tech #didyouknowfacts

How do dynamic or multiplexed 7-segment displays work? Multiplexing 7-segment displays is a powerful way to reduce the GPIOs your microcontroller needs to drive multi-segment displays. We got a helpful animation to show how this works conceptually! . . . . #circuits #engineering #askanengineer #asktheexpert #stemeducation #semiconductor #analog #stem #howto #circuitbread #eefaq #circuitsnacks #instafacts #trivia #engineeringstudents #electronicslovers #tech #didyouknowfacts

BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistors) in Open Collector Outputs. In this snippet about open collector outputs, Josh talks about the electronic device this concept is built on - Bipolar Junction Transistors. This important review helps us gain a stronger foundation before learning more about open collector outputs in microcontrollers and other complex electronic devices. . . . . #circuits #engineering #askanengineer #asktheexpert #stemeducation #semiconductor #analog #stem #howto #circuitbread #eefaq #circuitsnacks #instafacts #trivia #engineeringstudents #electronicslovers #tech #didyouknowfacts

What is an Open Drain Output? Very similar to open collector outputs, open-drain outputs can be used in place of a typical push-pull GPIO in microcontrollers and other devices. In this snippet, Josh talks about how MOSFETs are integrated into devices as a different option than integrated BJTs. . . . . #circuits #engineering #askanengineer #asktheexpert #stemeducation #semiconductor #analog #stem #howto #circuitbread #eefaq #circuitsnacks #instafacts #trivia #engineeringstudents #electronicslovers #tech #didyouknowfacts

In this snippet about open collector outputs, Josh talks about how BJTs are integrated into devices to provide unique performance very different from the push-pull GPIOs that many may be accustomed to with microcontrollers. #circuits #engineering #askanengineer #asktheexpert #stemeducation #semiconductor #analog #stem #howto #circuitbread #eefaq #circuitsnacks #instafacts #trivia #engineeringstudents #electronicslovers #tech #didyouknowfacts

Why would you want an open collector or open drain output? While push-pull GPIOs may be more common, open-collector or open-drain outputs can be used for various reasons. One strength of open collector outputs is their ability to sink current. In this short, Josh discusses some of the strengths and weaknesses of this topology. #circuits #engineering #askanengineer #asktheexpert #stemeducation #semiconductor #analog #stem #howto #circuitbread #eefaq #circuitsnacks #instafacts #trivia #engineeringstudents #electronicslovers #tech #didyouknowfacts

Finally, we get to see how we can start with sand, move through electronic devices, digital logic, computer architecture, operating systems, to a fully working computer! In this video, we summarize the process. 🖥️ #circuits #engineering #askanengineer #asktheexpert #stemeducation #semiconductor #analog #stem #howto #circuitbread #eefaq #circuitsnacks #instafacts #trivia #engineeringstudents #electronicslovers #tech #didyouknowfacts #facts #computerrepair

How do microphones work? 🎤🔊🎶 #circuit #electronicslovers #electricalengineering #sound #soundwaves #acoustic #microphone #soundengineer

🔊 Have you ever wondered how a simple cone of plastic or fabric can recreate a person singing? 👩‍🎤 How does a single speaker make so many different sounds? 🔊 #circuit #electronicslovers #electricalengineering #sound #soundwaves #acoustic

How sound is recorded and played back? It's obvious that not all microphones and speakers are created equal.

MOON WALK? According to records, the first successful moon landing was achieved by the Apollo 11 mission on July 20, 1969. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first and second humans to walk on the moon. Astronauts on the moon may trip or stumble due to the lower gravity and the bulkiness of their space suits. It's important to note that the astronauts undergo extensive training to adapt to the lunar environment and learn how to maneuver effectively in low gravity conditions. While they may occasionally stumble or lose balance, their training and the design of their suits help minimize the risk of serious falls or injuries. #circuitbread #moonlanding #astronaut #apollo11 #neilarmstrong #buzzaldrin #moonwalk
