at least, i can make a robot have controller input
Yeah, but I managed by making friends with a person who excelled in the class
baby steps, control a motor to change direction first with an H-bridge first
It took me 5 months to build it
aka i know how to make rc boyos
I've done it with relays EASY
with transistors it's HARD
oh yeah
True
I quit tho
You know the difference between depletion mode and enhanced mode FETs yet?
Cause sum newbie did sumthing to my robot
Hello
Which made the batteries explode and it fried everything
What's going on here
Talking bout robots
He shorted the pFet and hte nFet on the same side causing a short
didn't add diodes
Oh those things.
you didn't say good morning
So like I got so mad I just quit
i siad
It was nighttime over here but sorry
said
Good morning
Or it's dark
well guess what, you have programs now that allow you to SIMULATE circuits on the computer
I might start again
Though
you know what else is a real pain in the ass, you watch a youtube video you write down a list of parts, and you find that all 3 electronics stores DO NOT STOCK one of the parts, you buy a DIFFERENT but SIMILAR part, you solder it together METICULOUSLY and it still doesn't work
That's the point you start tearing your hair out
And why I went bald in my 20's

😂
Then there are these elitists of "but you can buy this part online" and if you're me and you are from Cyprus and you don't have a bank account and any imports are taxed so heavily you cannot pay the customs duties....
Their attitude is "sucks to be you"
They don't understand the struggle in building a robot
Well I'm lucky since I'm in America
Trust me the day you have a working h-bridge the day you have your first EUREKA I can make the motor go back and forth at will is the day you have begun to do robotics
