An Interview with Great Scott

The channel started October of 2013. YouTube in Germany is more focused on gaming and non-electronics channels.
Scott's job training started in 2011. He works in the electrical power industry.
Apprenticeship in Germany has a bunch of different names. One of them is einer ausbildung. The one that Scott did was duales studium.
The electric longboard project was 10 - 20 hours of building/prep! The controller uses a wii numchuck and it communicates via an attiny85 (with an RF chip). The Xcarve was also used for the mechanical portion.
German distributors
- Conrad.de has a component window, as well as other home automation type equipment.
- Scott buys most components on eBay.
- Chris asked if he had used Ragworm for boards.
The mentioned 7 segment display project
Scott is an expert soldering with perfboard (see the intro to each video as an example). The mapping program L ochmaster helps plan out spread it
Audio amplifier video
Scott's town does not have any hackerspaces. CCC is held in Hamburg.
Beginners are a larger portion of the audience. The recent electronics basics video goes over brushless motors. Scott things the Afrotechmods video on amps vs volts is a great start.
Scott started with op amps and encourages users to do the same.
The 555 timer contest was back in 2011. Analog Tom's servo videos blew Chris away.
