A Few Favourites

Podcasts

  • The Spark Gap is hosted by Karl & Corey, and has some nicely focussed technical topics.
  • The Amp Hour covers a wide range of topics, some humour and a few rants!
  • Embedded.FM is hosted by Elecia and Chris and has a wide range of interesting (and sometimes eclectic) guests.

YouTube Channels

  • AddOhms is run by the Bald Engineer, with awesome short clips
  • Contextual Electronics is Chris Gammel's channel with some great Kicad tutorials
  • Martin Lorton has a funny South African accent like me, and covers a great range of topics. Lots of equipment and solar.

Websites

There are too many to list, so these are some lesser-known ones:
  • edX is a MOOC with some great EE courses for free
  • All About Circuits is an online book taking you from basic electronics through to the serious stuff. Really excellent resource
  • Nuts and Volts Magazine has some great projects, and a series of articles I'm working on so I'm shamelessly plugging it.
