RCET 002: Basics of Electronics – Part II
Al Tejera continues covering the basics in this second RC Electronics Podcast. Going a little further into DC electronics he discusses common battery ratings like mAh (milli-ampere-hour) and maximum C charge and discharge rates as applied to lithium polymer, Nickle Cadmium and Nickle Metal Hydride batteries.
Now that the basics are covered the show will feature a quick single electronics tip that will benefit anyone interested in RC. That means we won’t just be covering electric power systems but instead we will discuss a variety of topics like glow starters, servos, ignition systems, power distribution systems, speed controllers and more.
A written pdf covering both part I and II of the basics in electronics may be downloaded here.

RCET 001: Basics of Electronics
In this new podcast we look at the ground level electronics knowledge you need to advance in RC. We start at the basics so that all our listeners will have the same understanding of Volts, Amps, Ohms and Watts. The classic water analogy is used to describe these terms in an intuitive way.
