i expected electronics sensors and this one does not even explain all of the sensors he mentions and a lot of explanation is not that good especially the flow sensors
By Alimi Sodiq on 12/29/2022
I appreciated the fact that the course covers a wide range of topics, including the basics of electronics, the fundamentals of programming with the Arduino platform, and even more advanced topics such as communication protocols and IoT applications.
By Abdul jeleel on 12/28/2022
I love this course, It's straight forward to all the key points needed and the instructor is very entertaining
By Andre Herfindal on 9/4/2022
Thank you! I learn a lot in this course about sensors. Could be better with more illustrations of the sensor. I recommend looking for more details on the web when doing this course.
By Raptor7 Driven on 5/3/2022
Yes, I think so. The moderation is explaining at a pace that is easy to understand.
By Suparna Chandra on 10/9/2020
new and add in to my practical knowledge of how things works ...when you know how things work you know how to repair thing when they don't work.
By Shubhanwita Das on 4/30/2020
the speaker should have spoken more clearly. The words are not clear enough to understand. and the captions and transcripts are also wrong.
By Prafull Kumar Choudhary on 4/29/2020
The course content was good. But, It doesn't meet my expectation. I thought that each and every type of sensor is explained in detail. Only the basics are explained as well as there is no animation/video to understand the working and applications easily. It would be better if these things are also added.
By Dayal Saran Mirthinti on 4/29/2020
A good primer to understand the various types of sensors used in the industry.
By Robert Malon on 1/17/2020
Good information overview of sensors. Needs to be a better translation of English. Too many narration mistakes. I do not need to hear the narrator snap his fingers when he realizes his mistake - re-record those narrations.
