We used this video to learn how to set up a domain and SSL certificate for our website when it came to hosting our server on a VPS/Domain instead of over LAN.
We had a collective zero experience when it came to pcb design. This tutorial helped us out a ton with the basics of wiring and using certain circuit elements correctly.
We only had basic ideas of how magnetic reed switches worked and this tutorial helped with making a simple monitor. This was able to give us an idea of how to read the switches which helped start our process.
