The Simple Electronics Podcast

Should you make it? Should you fake it? You should do both according to this week's guest - Clarissa, who runs the YouTube channel Make It And Fake It! Clarissa and I delve into deep topics such as 3d printing (and share whether we're into them as machines or as the product that they produce), Arduino-ey type projects and all sorts of making, extending to sewing and makeup! You should definitely go over to Clarissa's youtube channel and hit subscribe if you're into great making content delivered with some great humor!  

Please note: Adrian Bowyer should be pronounced "BOW-yer"

You may already know this week's guest if you are part of his fantastic online community or part of his discord server; Seon, the Unexpected Maker! Seon is the owner and operator of his own business, where he creates, assembles, tests and ships his own microcontroller boards! We chat about his journey from maker to more-professional maker, his struggles along the way and the infamous saga concerning the search for a pick-and-place machine. Check out his fantastic work on youtube and his website, www.unexpectedmaker.com.

In this episode of The Simple Electronics Podcast, Another Maker takes over the reins and hosts the show interviewing the usual host, Simple Electronics. He grills SE about a lot of stuff including his day job, his daily routine, the podcast and how that's going and a ton more! I want to thank Another Maker for taking the time to organize this conversation and thinking up interesting questions! 

Definitely go subscribe to his YouTube channel!  

Thanks for watching!

In this episode I interview the third most famous Billie behind Eilish and Jean; Billie Ruben! She is a rapidly growing star in the 3d printing world with her online persona on Reddit, Twitter and now YouTube! We chat about 3d printing technologies, which printers are recommended for beginners and common printing problems, as well as sharks, geography, and women in making. Her work can be seen on the first page of google as well as all over the 3d printing communities, with an upward trajectory steep enough to give Elon concerns!

In this episode of the Simple Electronics Podcast, I have a special guest, Gadget Reboot. Not only does he run a 'poppin YouTube channel (at least I think that's what the kids say) but he was actually a professional engineer in another life! We talk about what his old job used to be all about, arduino, circuit boards, projects and his future move (spoiler! he is now moved out the place he was talking about!) Tune in to find out more about Gadget Reboot and where his channel is headed! Make sure to check his links and subscribe to his channel!

Welcome to another episode of The Simple Electronics Podcast! In this episode, I have a special guest; Tim from Don't Give Up! Tim is a British pensioner who started electronics relatively recently and in this episode we have a great discussion about topics such as the affect of aging on the learning process, which YouTube channels are worth checking out for learning electronics and even a bit of motivational messaging for those of you who are thinking of starting your own YouTube adventures: GO FOR IT!

In this episode of The Simple Electronics Podcast, I have a special guest, Stephen from, RCtinkerer and Dad's RC Workbench! He is a great overall guy who tinkers with his RC crawling cars and enjoys the outdoors in the form of hunting and fishing. We go over a few things, like his integration of a Arduino-compatible circular board into his rock crawling hobby to add functionality - in this case, a sensor to show if the tilt of the RC model when it becomes excessive, and displays it on a LED light car integrated into the bumper. Stephen is a self-admitted beginner but the projects he have attempted and completed successfully are impressive even for a pro!

In this episode, I am joined by a special guest; Dave Bodnar! Dave is a Youtuber, retired teacher and electronics and model railroad enthusiast. In this episode we chat about a huge range of topics from PIC to Arduino, to teaching, to DIY brushless motors from fidget spinners! Dave is a self-taught electronics hobbyist who recalls starting out with basic microcontrollers, then moving onto the pic and picking up Arduino after its release. His perspective on electronics has lead him to make such elegant projects as a simple lightning and thunder generator, brushless motors from fidget spinners, and fully scratch built trolleys!

In this episode, special guest PileOfStuff and I discuss a ton of topics from mailbag videos, to operating systems to projects and everything in between! PileOfStuff is a Youtuber extraordinaire with a penchant towards teardowns and electronics projects with the occasional sprinkling in of model railroading. His fans tune in in large numbers to watch what he has purchased on eBay and then return to see what he has planned for those parts. We chat about our professions as well - he being a technician for a telecom company and myself being a professional mechanic and professor of mechanics.

In this episode, special guest Another Maker and I discuss all sorts of topics from programming to Arduino, to tools and everywhere in between! Another Maker runs two YouTube channels, and owns and operates his own company. He also is the creator of User Spice, a piece of open source and free to use software used by millions of users today! The conversation takes us to come interesting places, such as the challenge of sensing temperature in a ton of buildings and how Ryobi has a bunch of oddball tools available for purchase! We hope you enjoy the show!
