Electronics & circuit design Videos Recommended on Hacker News (95)
Electronics & circuit design is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 95 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2010 and 2026 — 283 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Electronics: analog and digital circuits, PCB design, grounding and EMI, signal integrity, power supplies, oscilloscopes, EEVblog, Ben Eater, op-amps, RF and radio, test equipment.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on AT&T Archives: Similiarities of Wave Behavior (Bonus Edition): “By far the best introduction to the subject of waves of any sort.” — an HN commenter, 2019.
