A video companion to the book But How Do It Know, explaining how a simple computer's parts fit together, linked by people building CPUs from logic chips.
Ben Eater builds an SR latch from NOR gates on a breadboard and shows how feedback holds a state; people copy it when learning sequential logic.
Ben Eater builds a JK flip-flop and uses an RC edge detector to shorten the clock pulse; cited in questions about that capacitor and master-slave designs.
Ben Eater explains binary addition and builds a 4-bit adder from logic gates on a breadboard; suggested to people asking how a processor physically does arithmetic.
A clock circuit for a homebrew 8-bit computer built from a 555 timer and logic gates, often copied by learners who then need help debugging it.
