y down there get some hotel rooms and then take care of speaker fees as well as the facility fees because they They do a great job at atheist experience studio The camera guys the tech guys are phenomenal That's why I think that's probably one of the reasons why The debate between matt delahunty and inspiring philosophy on our channel is the biggest channel biggest debate we've ever had with like 212,000 views that one is a mammoth And I think a huge part of it in addition to the speakers is that the video quality is phenomenal The sound quality is phenomenal And so we'd like to do another thing like that for this stretch goal But we're open to ideas if you guys have anything you're like man, you got to totally do this would be epic Other stuff though. You guys really pumped about this So we're really glad about that. We're also really glad about this. Let me turn it over. So you are seeing on your screen We are on twitch if you have twitch if you enjoy twitch folks, you can follow us On twitch We are called modern day debate as you'd expect we have the same little logo And you can follow us and if you want you can subscribe That definitely does help us One thing I would mention a lot of people don't know is that if you're an amazon prime member You have a free subscription that you can give to any twitch streamer Well, I technically any affiliate because we just became an affiliate which allows you to subscribe now Is you can give that to any twitch affiliate or partner Namely kind of like higher level streamers loosely speaking You can subscribe to them and that helps us because every subscription we get Is two dollars and fifty cents that helps the channel as man, we've got big hopes you guys I'm not joking. I'm dead serious that this summer. I'm seriously hoping to have some epic debates that are just monstrous to the to where it would be like wow this Channel has blown up over the summer and so we're absolutely going for it and then Let me show you this but yes, Amy evidence and reasons Oh, yeah, you guys did you guys debate before you and sal but yeah sales debate with Matt is going to be epic this monday. I would highly recommend you don't miss it. I'm pumped for it and then As I'd mentioned during the stream If you cannot find us on your favorite podcast shoot me an email Because we're on pretty much every single one of them. There are some where like I look at our Podcast stats and I'm like, I didn't know we were on Himalaya. I don't remember sign But yeah, we're on like just tons of podcasts We've worked really hard to make modern day debate as convenient for you on the go As possible and so we really do hope there's a value for you guys And then really pumped about this as well though as we just basically Just today we finally kind of up dark tea spring Merch, so you'll see on the far right of your screen tea spring we're definitely on tea spring if you go to Basically teespring.com slash stores Slash modern day debate. That's where we have our merch. That's linked in the description as well If you like that stuff, we have uh, especially for the clothing. We've tried to knock the price down Significantly, so I think it's like we make a dollar on each shirt So it's usually we would make like 14 or something and I'm like who would buy a t-shirt for like 26 dollars No judgment if you would but I'm a frugal dude and so If you will Good more power to you, but we want to make it as cheap as possible for you guys also Using our amazon affiliate link in the description can help the channel a lot. I'm pumped about this you guys We've gotten we've been confirmed or what's the word I'm looking for approved as an amazon affiliate And this isn't really hard to do.  I don't have any cash on me I don't have any extra cash I can give to like super chats or whatever else like and so You're like, well, but I would love to like help, you know Have bigger speakers on or more in-person debates and stuff like that so you can rent facilities and all that And you're like, well, okay, so how can I help? Is that if you go to the description under our patreon link, there's an amazon link And it's like not too far from the top if you click on that amazon link And then search for whatever items you wanted to buy and then you buy them It's like roughly two to three percent that of your purchase will go to modern day debate. And so It's you call it like a portal link It's like a link that if you use it to get onto amazon any of your purchases that you make after you use that link to go on They will basically Two or three percent of that purchase So you're paying the same prices as always for these items that you get on amazon But amazon gives two or three percent of your purchase to modern day debate So that's really cool. You guys that can help a lot. I mean imagine if like You know, maybe 10 people did it and uh, I don't know it can add up if enough people do it It can definitely help. So we do appreciate that Tuss feed boxes the tote bags are so clean to be honest. I'm so glad to hear about that I I do like those tote bags. They look nice and Big daddy sheep new zealand says we all know you're a huge thrift shop blazer man You're right about that and G shot says at this rate We will be debating whether the moon is real or not in a few years.

It's uh And let's see is shavites jagnaroth still spamming Let's see world view detective. Sorry that i'm late. Um, they said who do you think would be debating matt delanti? This is not for sure but There's a possibility that it would be a resurrection debate with mike jones who you were seeing No, right here That's not for sure at all. It's just something that mike originally wanted to do it We would like to host it and so perhaps this spring or early summer We would do that and that's something that kind of depends on if both the speakers want to do it, but Big deal for this Kickstarter folks would highly encourage you to Consider doing it even though this is our stretch goal because you might be like, well, hey, you already met the goal Like we're pumped about that. I'm honestly overwhelmed with so much joy And I have to tell you some of you guys said, hey, that's like a cool Like way to start the year and it's also a cool way to start I don't know if I I told you guys this but today's my birthday And so I am I didn't say it on stream because I don't want to like distract from the debaters while they're here because I feel like It's like we want the focus to be on the debaters. That's why I try to that's also why I kind of like try to not Be overbearing as a moderator because some moderators. I'm like you clearly are taking a side um, we want the uh We want the debaters to have the spotlight on them And that's why I didn't mention it, but I'm excited. I'm 34.

That's super cute. There's I love cats and I'm so glad that you're a cat babysitter I we've got cats once in a while. They come on camera This is the uh, so I'm out of friends in the basement and they've got cats that once in a while pop on screen and so Oh, we're just gotta be around here somewhere Let's see Today while let's see I would say I woke up this morning And there was a cat like basically on top of the blanket It's like sleeping between my legs because it was I think warm just like by like my basically by my knees like snuggled in cozy And it was very sweet. Um, because sometimes they crawl into the bed where I am but He shield said will you get drunk as barf for a birthday debate? Probably not. I'm not drunk right now. I'll believe it or not. But yeah It's so unfair tusk says it's unfair when the cats come in They just win the debate so fast. They yeah, that's true. They are super cute and then Justin I don't know how pronounce your name looks like greek letters said let's see the geocentrist Explain the prograde and retrograde motion of planets orbiting the earth in his model That's an interesting idea I don't know if Justin if you're watching it live now, or if you're if you're like early into the debate Maybe you just tuned in and clicked back. I don't know but Rue from the dots. I'd love it when the cats come in or come on. I agree Human girl said I got yelled at by a woman driving on the freeway.  I am sorry to hear that and I uh, I'm glad you survived I hope that the anger You know turns to peace Tuss v. Buck says whenever I go to my bed cat jumps up and screams at me while Until she can sleep underneath the covers with me.

You guys. Oh my gosh. It is going to be epic. You don't want to miss this you guys Day Boreum said what made you start this channel? Thanks for that question. The answer is I enjoy it for several reasons one. I like meeting new people I like connecting with new people, which is a great way to do this through both the live chat That's why I love like being in the chat during the debate too and my attention is kind of split, but I just love it connecting with people. I love meeting the debaters. I Wanted though probably the biggest thing at first before I realized I'd get to meet so many people was that basically I Let's see. What was it? Yeah, by the way, if you have not yeah, it's uh, well, hold on. Let me stay focused. I'm like all all over the place basically I wanted to do a channel where while I'm putting new footage onto youtube. I'm simultaneously learning And so I didn't really want to do a lot of editing I thought this would be the best way to do it because I could listen to the debaters And simultaneously be putting content on youtube, which is like I get to learn while I'm also You know kind of doing the youtube thing, which I just I've always loved youtube. It's always been um Like the most fun for me like I've just totally enjoyed it. So thanks for that question Perfect one says if it's james birthday, what does he seem sober? I'm a sober as a judge El Spaghetti says james blink twice if you're being held hostage in that basement You could kind of say that. No, I'm it's honestly, I love this. It's actually it's great It's a little bit. You might be able to hear the furnace, but it's all right Human girl might get a cat good for you And she says no the lady she went off the freeway. She took a turn the coward Well, that would have been interesting. I'm sure you guys I'm sure you guys would have been buddies El Spaghetti says I can't wait sal is super pleasant. He is really pleasant. I think matt'll really like him too Dora for thanks for being here said I'm really late and I'll watch the debate later But doesn't an infinite universe preclude it from even having a center.

So, IT for IT is like an assembly line blueprint so that IT organizations know how to assemble their IT organization from what happens at the very beginning, like raw car parts going to the factory. That's where the business and IT conversations start and the strategy portfolio value stream. And then it shows you how all of those parts come together through each step in the assembly line to result in value for the customer. Many of the customers that I've worked with and presented IT for IT too have identified opportunities to connect silos together and integrate the systems that flow the work that they do from one place to the next. The resulting issues that organizations have when they do have too many silos is the fact that they don't understand where the work is actually bottled up, where it's actually not getting through and providing value for their customers. So IT for IT is a framework to understand your silos, understand where the integration should be and not be in many cases. IT for IT also provides a very strong data model and shows you what we call the service model backbone, which is really the nut content that describes the service which IT is expected to deliver in the industry. We're all about being able to evolve the standard as we all learn and we all evolve in this industry. So I welcome you to join the IT for IT forum to be able to learn and also contribute your experiences in making it better.


Astrophotography is a hobby that really rewards proper planning. And I made a video on the planning process a few years ago, but a number of the tools I demoed in that video have been updated with new and sometimes important features. And so for these updates, I've decided to make this a series this time, a series of videos because to fit it all into one video, I think it would just be too much. So for this first video in the series, I'm going to show you my most used Astrophotography tool and a good place also to start with your planning, I think, which is the website astrobin.com. Astrobin is the creation of an astrophotographer named Salvatore Yovone who started the website 10 years ago with the express purpose to help astrophotographers share their photos but also learn from one another by making it easy to share all the details, all the metadata that go into making an astrophotograph.  And it does share some similar aspects to social media and that you can like and comment on other people's images. You can follow them to see more as they get notifications, but it's also just much more than just a social media site because Salvatore has done a great job of continually adding new features that really help astrophotographers learn from each other. And it can help a lot, I found with inspiration and with planning, which is the topic here. And what I'm going to show you in this video, before we jump in, let me just quickly disclose I am an Astrobin ambassador, which means I vouch for the website because I truly believe in it and I've been a paying member myself for many years. If you do sign up for an Astrobin subscription with my affiliate link below, you'll get 10% off your first year, and I also get a small percentage back on that first year's subscription. However, this is not a sponsored video. It's not a commercial for Astrobin. It's a video that I wanted to make an update on. I think all of what I said about Astrobin in 2018 is still completely relevant, but with all the new features like the advanced plate solving, browsing by constellation and the revamped advanced search, it was really time to dive back in. And in the series, I'm going to be diving back into a number of the tools that I talked about. I've broken this video into chapters by topic. I'm going to start with the features on the site that are open to everyone, including if you're on a free account, and then I'll show off some of the paid features that cost a few dollars a month. Okay, the first thing is if you're new to Astrobin, go ahead and click the link in my description to make an account on Astrobin, because that's going to open up a lot of the features, even if you make a free account. And if you use my link, if you do decide any time in 2021 to buy a subscription, you're going to get 10% off. So I'm going to go ahead and just submit this for a new account. It's going to ask me to go to my email and just click the activation link, which I will do. Okay, I now have my brand new account on Astrobin. And here is the Astrobin homepage. Every day there is an image of the day, which is part of the contests on Astrobin. That's sort of a fun, competitive aspect of Astrobin, but not really what I'm going to be talking about today. The next thing here about the homepage is we have some forum posts. There are a number of good forums and groups that you can sort of follow along with your interests. Like if you're more of a solar imager, there's lots of solar imaging groups. Or if you are interested in really obscure deep sky stuff, there's groups about that. The next thing down here is the global stream. And right now it's just sort of showing everything that's going on in Astrobin. But if I click on personal stream, you can see there's no activity yet. And the reason for that is I'm not following anyone on Astrobin yet. But as soon as you do start following people, then you'll see all kinds of interactions from the people you're following, like what they like and what they're posting and all of that. So there's a bunch of different options here for how to customize your homepage. In terms of planning, though, within Explorer, there's a number of different options here. I'm going to talk about a lot of these today, but let's just start with the first option, the big wall slash advanced search. The big wall is just everything being uploaded to Astrobin in order. So it starts with the most recent images being uploaded to Astrobin. And then if you just keep going through here, it just shows you every image that's being uploaded that's made public. This gives you a really interesting browse of just seeing all the different kinds of astrophotography going on. So you can see that we have lunar images, we have wide field images, we have nebular images, we have star clusters, we have galaxies. And so there's all kinds of stuff going on on Astrobin. But you can customize it to just be more along with your interests or even just follow people that have similar gear to you and things like that. But I often, like I'm interested in almost all aspects of astrophotography, so I often look at this just sort of general browse to get ideas. And when a thumbnail looks interesting to me, like this one maybe, I will maybe see what else this astrophotographer has produced. I'll look at the kinds of equipment that they are using and seeing if it's all like mine, which in this case it's not. But I still might think, well, this, I might want to approach this target in a different way. And so if it's something that I, an image that I want to return to, to think about some more, maybe something that I want to see how it would work with my gear, I'll bookmark it. And so once you add it to your bookmarks, let's actually bookmark a couple more things. OK, so I just bookmarked something else here.  And this is just going to be our personal page of everything that we bookmarked. And so I use this all the time to remember things that I want to return to. And this I use in my planning process because I think about I browse, I find ideas on here and then I add them here for things that then I can do more planning on. So we can search, of course, for different deep sky objects we might be interested in, but I'm going to try a search for a piece of equipment here that I own, which is the Canon 2000D, also known as the Canon T7. OK, and what I can do from here is I can click on an image of something maybe that I'd be interested in shooting and I can see what equipment this person used to create this image of the sole nebula. So I can see they use the Canon 2000D, they used a Skywatcher EQ5, a guide scope and a basic guide camera and the Skywatcher EvoStar 72ED with a field flattener. So this gives me a lot of information, but other than just the gear, if I scroll down here on the technical card, I can see exactly how many pictures they took, the exposure time they use, the ISO, the moon phase, the portal scale, having all of this information is really useful for planning. And so again, I can bookmark this, I can like this. And what I would really suggest is if you find that your gear or maybe the gear you want to get is similar to Tom914 here, you know, start up a conversation with this person, you know, follow them, start adding comments, click on their name to see what other images they produced with this gear. And, you know, you'll find that this is where Astrobin becomes really valuable because it really is a social platform. And so it's really great for connecting with other astrophotographers through their images. OK, so we've gone over, you know, following people, looking at the technical card to understand, you know, what kind of equipment and sky conditions they have, using the bookmarks feature to, you know, remember things that you may want to shoot, which is really important for planning. Another interesting aspect is up here, it will tell you exactly what objects are in the picture right here. If it's a plate solved image, which most images on Astrobin are, I'll get more into that when we talk about advanced features. And then it can also tell you the constellation. So I can see that this is in Cygnus. Now, if I click on Cygnus, it's going to show me all of the different pictures of objects in that constellation. And this can be really useful. This is something pretty new in Astrobin. You can get to it either by, you know, clicking on that above any image or it's also up here in the Explorer menu. So we can click on constellations and it will bring up all of the constellations in the night sky and we can jump to any one that we want. And this is really helpful because this, you know, learning the night sky, looking out outside right now. And I can, I know that, for instance, Ursa Major is really high in my sky. So if I wanted to find all of the deep sky objects in Ursa Major and find example images, I can jump down here to Ursa Major, click on Find Images and look at that. Lots of beautiful galaxies, lots of M101s, M81 and 82s. This gives me a quick understanding of, you know, the popular objects, but also maybe some of the less popular ones. Like what do we have here? This is M100 or M, sorry, M109. And I didn't even know this was in Ursa Major. This is a really useful feature for getting to know the night sky because it's not like I can go look at Ursa Major and with my naked eye understand all of the deep sky objects hidden up there. So being able to just quickly browse through a constellation. I know that's high in my night sky right now and see all of the deep sky objects that are within that constellation is super helpful. You know, another thing that I see here is that Ursa Major is home to a lot of really popular Messier galaxies. But if I look down here, there's a Nebula. And so since I'm Nebula Photos, I want to click on that and get an idea for one where this is. So I can look right here at the sky plot to understand where it is in the night sky. I can also look at what filters were used here. So I can see that they shot this with narrowband filters, which gives me an idea for how it looks in narrowband. But now let's say I wanted to see how this particular object looked in broadband. What I can do is I can just click on the name of the object right here, NGC 3587, or I could click on Owl Nebula either way. And it brings up all of the pictures of the Owl Nebula on Astrobin. And on a free subscription, what you'd have to do is just sort of click through and find one until you can find it in broadband or with a DSLR camera. Once you get move up to even the lowest tier paid subscriptions, you get some access to these filters right here. And that's where the advanced search gets a lot more powerful. So let's go ahead and jump into that. I'm going to switch accounts real quick here. OK, I'm now on a paid account. You can see it has my real name there, Nico Carver. And I'm going to go ahead and add a filter to our search for the Owl Nebula. And I'm going to add the filter camera type. It adds it right here. And then I can pick DSLR and click Search. And then this is smart enough that it looks through all of the pictures on Astrobin of the Owl Nebula, and it will only show me the ones that were taken with a DSLR. OK, so this is great. So I now can see what it looks like with a DSLR. This actually happens to be a telescope that I own. That was completely unintentional. But it's pretty cool that this is a really nice inexpensive refractor that works well with a DSLR. And I can see how what kind of results I could get. This person did spend a fair amount of time shooting this 13 and a half hours. But what I really like about this is that you know, I started with just this really close in image of the Owl Nebula in it with narrowband filters and now just through using the filters and the advanced search, I can understand, wow, it's in context with this other interesting object over here and that it's it's accessible with, you know, a DSLR camera, an inexpensive refractor and a Star Tracker because I can see this person, Nick Ambrose, was using an Ioptron SkyGyder Pro. And it's really well situated in my night sky right now because I know Ursa Major is nice and high and is up all night. So I wanted to show that, you know, just through a little bit of searching and using the filters, this becomes a really powerful planning tool for picking your next deep sky object to shoot because there's a lot of really neat things out there in the night sky that don't get as much attention as, you know, the few showpiece objects like the Pinwheel Galaxy, Andromeda, Orion and that kind of thing. And so I use this all the time to find really unusual stuff. One way is I am a member of a group called like unusual deep sky objects. So that's one way you can do it. But another way is just browsing, you know, just just going to the big wall, looking through things, you know, once you see a thumbnail, it's like, well, I've never seen that deep sky object before, all always bookmark it. And a lot of times I'm bookmarking things that I see through the awards. That's what all these little things in the upper left hand corner are. And some of these are, you know, are not unusual deep sky objects. They're just they're they're ones that I just think are really well done. And so they're inspirations for me to, you know, just try to be as good as I can be with something like the Cone Nebula or M78. But some of these are really, you know, lesser imaged objects. Like this one is what I really want to do. I just think it looks so neat. The mask, isn't that cool? The eyes and the, you know, the frown that that just looks so interesting. I think it looks so 3D. I find Astrobin is is the site to go to for inspiration, because it's all astrophotography, it's a lot of deep sky astrophotography, which is really my passion. And there's just so much interesting stuff going on here.  So in this case, 7.7 hours from a portal six zone, but with narrow band filters. And so you can compare that to what you have, and then you can plan out an approach so you can know, well, this is going to take me some time. I'm going to want to use my narrow band filters and go from there. All right, another feature that I want to talk about here is something that was added in the past year or so, which is on a lot of images. You're going to mouse over them like this and see this advanced plate solver powered by Pix Insight. And this is really neat because the old plate solver was great, but this one is so much better. It can you can customize it. You can get this grid. You can get all kinds of more obscure objects like the sharpness objects, galaxies, you know, little planetary nebula, all kinds of stars. And then it also shows you right down here. The right ascension and declination of whatever point you are on the image. So let's say I was actually looking at a wide field image. OK, so I just pulled up one of my wide field images. And even in this view, which is the fit to screen view, you can see that the advanced plate solver will come up when I mouse over here. This is because I'm on the ultimate subscription with Astrobin. This isn't this isn't available on all tiers. But what's really cool is even if you go to my image, this view will come up, even if you're on the free plan. And so I can mouse over anything here. And know exactly what it is and right ascension and declination. And it will it has labeled almost everything in this wide field image of Cepheus, so I can go back here and know, oh, you know what? Later, I really want to shoot this weird little ribbon like Nebula. And now I know that it's called Sharpless 133. OK, I went back to the technical card here. I want to show you that from this view, we've already talked about, you can click on the individual objects in the image. You can click on the constellation. There's yet another option to find other images in the same area, which is if you go down here, there's this button now. And this is so cool. You can you can find objects within one degree, two degrees, three degrees, five degrees of this image. So I'm going to choose around one degree. This is a pretty wide field image and it picks the center of the image. And then it does a one degree radius on that and finds all of the images that are within one degree of the center of the image. Isn't that neat? So this is where Astrobin really sets itself apart from all of the other websites where you can share astrophotography in that by plate solving everything, it's a very advanced database that lets you do a lot of neat planning.  I'm just going to go back and show you what it what it would happen if instead of choosing around one degree of the center of this image, I chose around five degrees. OK, so I just chose five degrees instead of one degree. And then I want to show you what happens with the filters up here. So it automatically added additional filters for field radius, right, ascension and declination. And these are sliders. So I can slide this up and say, instead of searching now five degrees out from that center, let's search 20 degrees out. OK, and even more images came back. This is really what sets Astrobin apart from from all other astrophotography hosting websites is just how rich this advanced search is and how rich rich the browsing is with a huge database of images. So there are other websites that have some neat tools. There are other websites that maybe have more images like Facebook or something like that. But there is no website that combines these two in such an interesting way. Really advanced tools based on plate solving and advanced filters and equipment database and all that with a huge amount of images, hundreds of thousands of images. OK, another really helpful thing in Astrobin is the groups feature. So this is a list of all of the public groups on Astrobin. I got to it just by clicking explore groups. And this can be really helpful when thinking about, you know, new gear to pick up because there is a lot of groups dedicated to particular pieces of gear like the Celestron Rossa or particular filters or particular cameras. And so you can both see all of the different images being taken with those with that particular camera. And you can also join the group and look at its forum and, you know, ask questions before you buy all of those kinds of things. You can you can also, you know, go in here and start following people who own equipment that's similar to you. So this is really helpful. It can give you an idea of. What's possible with certain equipment? And also what, you know, what combination of equipment might work well? So because if you if you see an image that's that's quite impressive and they're using this thing and this thing and this thing together, you know that it worked well to produce this particular image. What I use groups for even more, though, than talking about particular pieces of gear is something that I find is unique to Astro-Bin, which is sort of obscure topics like my very favorite groups that I'm a part of are Fine Art Astrophotography, because that's a group dedicated to talking about astrophotography as Fine Art, not just, you know, as a hobby, which is something, you know, I'm all for it being a hobby, but I'm also interested in it as an art form and then Deep Sky Mosaic Deep Sky Mosaic. So this is a group dedicated to just people who are crazy enough to work on Deep Sky Mosaic, which often take years. And then this one is really great, unique or unusual Deep Sky targets because it just has so many things that are off the beaten track. And so these are the kinds of things that I typically really like going after because they're more of a challenge. So this video has mostly been about, you know, how to use Astro-Bin, the website as a planning tool, how to how to investigate images, look at the gear that's being used, look at how to find them in the night sky, look at, you know, for other objects that are around it, that kind of thing. But I also just want to point out that Astro-Bin is really a community website and it only gets better the more that you put into it.  And the last thing I'll say is that I am, again, an Astro-Bin ambassador. So if you have any questions about using the website, you can leave a comment under this video, you can reach out to me personally. You know, you can message me on Astro-Bin. All of these are good options. I'm always welcome to answer any questions about it because it is a site that I truly believe in and use daily.


They're a great search. Brought to you by DJI and Adafruit and this week's great search is electrolytic capacitors. Everything you need to know that I can cover in about 10 minutes. Okay, so let's uh over here I've got this design I'm working on an Eagle CAD. It's got a big chunky power supply and it's got these two capacitors. Let me just zoom into the power supply so you can see where they live. So one of these capacitors is a 47 microfarad 25 volts and it sits before the 5 volt regulator. It's there's a little bit of Paris protection circuitry on off switch and here is the 24 microfarad input and it's in parallel with a 0.1 microfarad. And then over here there's actually another 10 microfarad over here to the right but this is the output it's at least 47 microfarad plus and because it's a 5 volt output I need at least 6.3 volts of a voltage rating for the capacitor and then I thought I'd show the overhead real fast what these look like. Okay so what is an electrolytic capacitor compared to your kind of standard issue ceramic capacitor because you're going to see both in many designs. So this is an electrolytic capacitor it's a metallic metal tin there's a marking showing which one's the negative side. If you're using through-hole electronics they look like this you know they come in various sizes this one's a 22 sorry 220 microfarad and this is a 1 microfarad so you know you're going to find them it's usually 0.47 oh yeah I've never really seen anything below maybe 0.22 0.47 microfarad and they'll go up to like farad you can get super capacitors so many thousands of microfarad easily billy farad up to like one farad if you get a super cap very big they're large they don't come super small I mean these are fairly small electrolytic capacitors but you know a lot of them are going to be fairly chunky they actually are round pieces of foil inside that create the capacitance and you know if you compare this board which has two to a board like this which has none right this has no electrolytic capacitors at all it has ceramic capacitors so why why do you want electrolytic on this well first off if you have the space um electrolytic capacitors for you know uh cost per capacitance you're going to get a much better deal like you know a a 10 microfarad ceramic capacitor was going to cost you maybe 10 cents um for that same price you can get something that is um you know 200 or 470 microfarads is electrolytic capacitor so you're going to get much more capacitance second um if you do need a lot of capacitance for your circuit because you have a big power supply with a lot of you know a lot of current draw an inconsistent current draw that you have to protect against with ceramic capacitors they don't like you can get 100 microfarad but you don't really see them higher than that ceramics you can see them as little as a 1.2 picofarad right they'll get as small as possible in the picofarads and up to you know 10 22 47 and maybe 100 microfarad you can get that high but they start getting expensive and they start not being as effective ceramic capacitors are highly affected by the DC voltage across them um they're very small they're great at high frequency uh work uh in use cases because um they have a low ESR but when you have a big power supply like on this board where i'm going to be like drawing a ton of current like up to an amp and it's going to be drawing servos and whatever instead of having you know 4 10 microfarad capacitors in a row which i could have instead i pick one large electrolytic it's partially a cost thing but also you know this one is a 100 microfarad uh 6 volt capacitor again you know it to to make that with ceramic capacitors you either have to pay a lot more um or you end up having a lot of capacitors in a row uh and these work wonderfully um and they're they're durable and i like them so you know they don't replace ceramics electrolytics have a have a big place if you're making very petite electronics chances are you're not going to use uh electrolytic capacitors but when size isn't an issue and uh you want to reduce costs you're going to definitely go for electrolytics so that's that's your like two minute briefer of of when you want them um okay so let's go to uh digikey.com and we can that's the the capacitor so uh you know again there's there's more than like three basic electrical basic capacitors but there's kind of basically three there's the ceramic i mentioned really good for high frequency 10 microfaradish or less is what they are best at electrolytic uh big inexpensive bulk capacitance um pair them with the ceramic and you know you got the high frequency and the low frequency uh matched up and there's 10 uh tantalum or tantalum um a lot of folks will use tantalum because they're very nice uh in between you can get very high capacitance 220 470 microfarads easily um high voltage uh rating however uh i found that they're more delicate it's a lot easier to pop them um electrolytics ceramics are non-polar electrolytics are polar but they can kind of put up with it a little bit uh tantalums will just pop instantly the the moment you abuse them uh so watch out for that and second uh you want to make sure that your tantalum is being ethically sourced if you're getting electrolytics or ceramics you don't have to worry about that as much so let's uh look for electrolytic capacitor and you know there's going to be thousands that's one of the nice thing about electrolytics is they're so generic you're going to be able to have tons of options like you you never have to really worry about like am i going to be able to find an electrolytic capacitor in stock don't worry you will it's like a resistor like they're these are plentily made um so that said uh here you go there's uh you can see there's you know two uh areas there's uh tantalum and there's uh aluminum electrolytic and we're going to go to aluminum electrolytic no you know there's about a hundred thousand of each okay so under electrolytic uh capacitors again there are a lot of options and you're going to want to very quickly narrow down because even when you get to like the one of the most you know you really narrow down you're still going to have like a hundred options so just be aware of that it's not going to be like some searches where we're like let's craft the perfect search and then one item pops out with capacitors you're going to have a lot of options no matter what so look at what's in stock what's available you know what what you care about um but you'll have a lot of options available so let's um let's first look for only active um we don't always see this but uh on capacitance because oftentimes folks are looking for a range of capacitance uh instead of like shift clicking you can have a minimum and a max so let's say i want uh 47 to 100 microfarads and i believe yeah so that automatically updated to about 11 000 options that's kind of nice tolerance um you know it depends on how much you care about this uh for some audio use cases you know you might want a tighter tolerance for bulk uh capacitance for power supply you know what's nice is that the tolerance basically is just like how much they've been them right so you'll rarely get less than 10 or 20 um negative but positive it could be over right which is something you have to think about like usually when you have a bulk capacitor for your power supply you don't care if it's twice as much you're like bonus like free like it's kind of when you open up like you're drinking it's like filled up all the way to the top and you're like nice it's like an extra sip in it you don't care as long as it isn't like halfway full um same thing with capacitors electrolytic especially they're they'll do they mass make these and they're like as long as it's not less than 47 microfarads it goes in the bin um okay so there's also uh one thing to watch for is there's you know through hole or plug type and um there's surface mount so uh chassis mount and surface mount so through hole just to show you real fast uh you know as your standard you can get axial this way these are kind of nice uh they sit nice and flat on the pcb um and then this of course like your common everyday electrolytic capacitor um you know through hole electrolytic capacitors are great i have a bin of them i do recommend picking up a bunch if you don't already have some because they're always useful for like stabilizing power supplies and new pixel leds you know you add a big capacitor nice uh nicely smooths out the power supply for you um that said i'm going to undo the mounting type because i actually want surface mount sorry okay so surface mount and then now it's like okay there's a couple different there's like a lot of different like settings that you might not care about but the one thing you'll definitely want to look at is the voltage rating um electrolytic capacitors work best when you give them at least 20 25 percent of headroom above the expected voltage you're using so if you have a 5 volt power supply um you'll want it to be uh rated for uh 6.3 volts and you'll notice like the voltage ratings are like they're like oh they are more than common rail voltages so if you have a 3.3 volt rail pick four volts 5 volt rail 6.3 volts 7 or 8 volts you know 10 16 is 12 and above 20 25 you know you basically just pick the next one up and give yourself a little headroom um for this power supply uh 12 volts in is the maximum dc input so let's pick 6 volt rating um you can always go higher right so if you can't find the capacitor you want the size you want at 16 volt just bump it up to you can always get 20 20 25 but i'm not worried about getting the right uh capacitor so i'm just going to pick 16 volts okay um so next up you see the tolerance kind of now you only have two options for tolerance that's great polarization's bipolar or polar uh bipolar means that it can be um current can go either way uh sorry the voltage the bias voltage across can be either way um current of course can go back and forth depending as long as the for unipolar as long as ground is is lower than the power rail the positive rail bipolar it doesn't matter they're actually designed so they can go either way those tend to be used for audio um i don't really see them anywhere else to be honest um but for audio dc uh blocking capacitors um that said uh you will pay more for them uh and they're pretty rare so i'm just going to get rid of that option okay and then um size and dimensions so all capacitors come in very standardized sizes which is really great uh let's go to the overhead real fast and i can measure this it's to use so uh for this capacitor i measure it uh this is five point sorry five point two ish millimeters uh this one is also five point two um but if you look they're a little bit smaller than the uh outline um when you're buying electrolytic caps the you'll pay less if they're bigger you'll pay less uh if they're wider you'll pay less if the voltage is lower and you'll pay less for a lower capacitance so more capacitance you'll pay more higher voltage rating you'll pay more smaller size you'll pay more so all things can considered you know if you're if you're concerned about costume size we'll just go with the biggest one you can uh fit on your pcb okay so you go back to the uh computer so i'm going to pick uh six point three millimeters which is the size heat uh seated height you know this may matter to you in this in my case i don't really care too much um the seated height is not that important but you'll see the majority of them are they're not all the same the diameter is more uh uh standardized than the height um and then you know now you still have quite a couple hundred of them so like what what are you going to use to differentiate well you're going to pay more for um lower ripple current so the ripple current is is you know basically tells you how much how good is it at um keeping them from being variations in current and voltage so you'll get lower noise basically this is a shortcut impedance ditto um high impedance cheaper so here like four ohms uh lower impedance you're going to get uh less ripple um ceramic uh capacitors in exchange it as a comparison have much much lower um uh impedance i think this is the same as oh sorry it's not the same as the esr sorry i'm mistaken uh although i don't know what the impedance is compared to the esr so the esr sorry the equivalent series resistance um the lower it is um the less ripple and usually the more stable your power supply is um ceramic capacitors have much much lower esr i have seen some power supply chips that require high esr for stability um for for their feedback loop um i only saw it once but like it actually made a difference the power supply chip said do not use only ceramic capacitors on the output you have to have at least one electrolytic capacitor um so you'll pay more for lower esr again um they're almost all rated at about 120 hertz but i guess some are rated at 100 kilohertz um for again for me it doesn't matter so much there's also lifetime temperature um again this is whether you are using you want something high reliability at high temperature electrolytics as people who do power supply work know they can die if they are used for a very very long time or they're poorly made or it's very hot so all these things are over liability um i'm just going to go for general purpose and then i'm actually going to like check just for the ones in stock that's 59 and then there's still a lot of options and then this is what i actually like do my little shortcut i just filter by uh sorry yeah i filter uh going down by uh quantity because uh at this point i'm like there's too many options i don't know what to pick you can do it by price but it's tough because again there's so many variables of what you're paying for um you know comparatively for the lowest like current ripple the lowest esr the lowest size so i kind of just go with like whatever's popular and um so in the end i actually thought okay this 47 micro farad 16 volt plus or minus 20 looked pretty good um you know the lifetime temperature i don't really care it's polar i know that um the ripple current was not too high 58 um milliamps and the esr is oh the esr is not rated here you have to look at the data sheet so um i will say checking out the data sheet is is going to be very helpful first off because they have like all the dimensional data and they'll also tell you all of the different um if you like the capacitor you have but you want to get one with like smaller diameter or you want to get one with a little bit more uh capacitance or better tolerance you can use the the numbering system to um figure out like how to like calculate what the part number would be that you want we see okay so it's got the ripple current is here let's see if they have the esr i think they don't i think they're just general purpose and they're like we don't really rate them they just tell you like it's probably like you know an oh maybe or something um of course you can also measure it when you get the capacitor itself but it sounds like it's not it's not guaranteed just interesting right but for general purpose this is good enough for me i'm you know i'm using this with a 7805 the 7805 is like not very picky about you know the capacitance and then i add some ceramics as well um so i ended up producing this one and i think it's going to be just fine i like uh nuchicon as a supplier i've never had any issues with them i'll say that there's a lot of suppliers i think they're all going to be equally as good but i've had very good luck with nuchicon um the entire time i've uh made electronics and so i kind of tend to use uh those are pentasonics again you know the electrolytic capacitor is a very jelly bean it doesn't really matter but if you had if i have two and one of them is pentasonic or nuchicon and one is some other brand i haven't heard of there's the two i'm going to go for so those are my electrolytic capacitor tips in the great search it's a great search for this week


Hi and welcome to the session my name is Shashi and I am going to help you with the following question. Question is form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions graphically. Second part is 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs.50 whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs.46. Find the cost of one pencil and that of one pen. Now we can see in the question that we have two unknown quantities that is the cost of one pencil and the cost of one pen. Let us start with the solution now. Let the cost of one pencil be Rs.X, the cost of one pen be Rs.Y. Now two conditions are given in the question. First condition is 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs.50. Cost of 5 pencils would be 5X and the cost of 7 pens would be 7Y. This implies 5X plus 7Y must be equal to Rs.50. Therefore our first equation is 5X plus 7Y is equal to 50. Now the other condition given in the question is 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs.56. Therefore we have the equation 7X plus 5Y is equal to 46. So our required two equations are 5X plus 7Y is equal to 50 and 7X plus 5Y is equal to 46. Now to solve the equations graphically first of all we will take the equation 5X plus 7Y is equal to 50 and find the two solutions for it. These are 3, 5 and 10, 0. Now we will take the other equation that is 7X plus 5Y is equal to 46 and find the two solutions for it which are 3, 5 and minus 2, 12. Let us now represent the line 5X plus 7Y is equal to 50 on the graph. First point is 3, 5 which is present over here. Let us mark it as A and the other point is 10, 0 which is present over here and let us mark it as B. Now to represent the required line let us join A, B. Now we will represent the line 7X plus 5Y is equal to 46 on the graph for which we will first plot the point 3, 5 which has already been marked as A and the other point is minus 2, 12. Let us mark it as now we will join A, C to get the line 7X plus 5Y is equal to 46. Now the two lines intersect each other at the point A which is 3, 5 so 3Y is equal to 5 is the graphical solution where X is the cost of the pencil that is equal to rupees 3 and Y is the cost of the pen that is equal to rupees 5. Hence cost of pencil is equal to X is equal to rupees 3 and cost of pen equal to Y is equal to rupees 5 is the required answer. This completes the session hope you understood the session take care and good bye.


Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shut down his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, endorsing the party's front-runner, former U.S. President Donald Trump, just two days before New Hampshire votes in the country's second primary.DeSantis announced his exit from the race in a video posted on X, accompanying the footage with a quote from former U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill that left the door open to another run, success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts. Acknowledging there was no clear path to victory following his second place finish in Iowa, where he lost to Trump by some 30 points, DeSantis reasoned that Trump was a better choice for Commander-in-Chief than incumbent President Joe Biden, or the next Republican runner-up, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance, DeSantis explained, insisting, if there was anything I could do to produce a favorable outcome more campaign stops, more interviews, I would do it.
