Our Verdict
Basic Electronics for Arduino Makers is a solid foundational course that lays down crucial concepts, theory, and practical applications of various electronic components. The instructor's expertise in delivering engaging content backed by real-world examples adds value, but the course falls short in providing enough hands-on Arduino projects specific to makers. With minor issues like occasional video demonstration discrepancies and resolution limiting some visual details, this is still a recommendable starting point for electronics hobbyists interested in using Arduino platforms.
