Why people recommend it
Opens Ben Eater's digital electronics series by varying the voltage across an LED to show its forward voltage and current behaviour; suggested to beginners puzzled by LEDs.
Watch for: why the same voltage and resistance give different brightness
In their words
I'm following along with Ben Eater's digital electronics playlist on YouTube.
