Ohm's Law for Programmers: Understanding Voltage, Current, and Resistance in Numbers
An Ohm's law guide for software engineers picking up an Arduino or Raspberry Pi for the first time. It redefines voltage not as a "quantity" but as a difference between two points, and pins down exactly where the water a
