EEVblog

EEVblog is an unscripted video blog about electronics engineering, hosted by Dave Jones from Sydney, Australia. It is aimed at engineers, hobbyists and makers, and has been running for well over a thousand episodes. Dave says he does not take paid sponsorships, so his opinions on products are his own.

The videos are informal and often long. Dave talks through circuits on a whiteboard, tests components on the bench and takes apart equipment to see how it was designed. Common topics include op-amps, power supplies, oscilloscopes and measuring how much power a product draws. He is direct and opinionated, and the occasional rant is part of the style, so it suits older students best.

Some highlights include:

An explanation of constant current sources, with a live demonstration of how the circuit holds the current steady.

A tricky op-amp exam question worked through on the whiteboard, showing how an engineer reasons about an unfamiliar circuit.

A teardown of a real-time spectrum analyser, tracing how its circuit boards were designed and how it works inside.

The channel has over 1 million subscribers.

Few channels show so clearly how a working electronics engineer thinks. Watching Dave read a circuit, question a datasheet or judge a product design is close to what electronic engineering students learn at university. It is a strong next step for anyone who already enjoys Arduino projects or A level physics circuits.
