This is version 4.01 board which was created to solve the problem of inserting all 5 LEDs into the 3D Printed clip. It is the same circuit with the following changes: 1. The board is slightly longer, 2. The MODE switch changes from SMD to DIP type, and 3. The square cavity is longer so the two red LEDs (on the left) can slot into the holes.

Просмотров 2715 месяцев назад
After discovering the origin of the Blaster Clip (AndersFP PKD2019), I set about programming the lighting effect. The requirement is to have the Red LEDs glow up from nothing as soon as power is applied. For this effect, I had to use a microcontroller. Later on, I added the same (but quicker) effect for the Green LEDs as well. This is not a normal static LED light sequence as it was requested b...

20230621 Testing the Hot Plate
Просмотров 24Год назад
I finally got myself a mini hot plate. Alas, there is no operating instructions and so, the only I could do was to change the LANGUAGE and set the plate temperature to 200ºC. There are other parameters that can be changed but until I can figure it out, I'll just leave it as it is. I experimented with some used expired solder paste and a rejected 1.6mm PCB.

    • @MrEngineer
      @MrEngineer 4 месяца назад

      The Arduino was a very useful programming Language which can lead to the interested party to learn mode about C coding. However, at that time, it does not have a bootloader which means if I were to use it, I would have to get a whole complete Arduino board even if I do not use all of its ports. So, the microchip PIC is just one small IC package where I can add other components as and when I needed it.

    • @MrEngineer
      @MrEngineer Месяц назад

      Normal Solder melts around 183°Celsius (361°F). From the Internet, it is given as 350°C for hand soldering and lower for re-flow. I use a 25W-30W soldering iron with a pencil solder bit, 0.6mm resin-core solder with flux. The exercise allow me to solder less than 3seconds or so for one soldering join. This results minimal burning of the component.

      Well, the board is from gmprops and if you're familiar with the 555/4017 circuits (I'm not), you can easily trace the fault. Having said that, the said board can be taken at face value and assume it was really the battery. Do note that the same cannot be said if the sounds are not working since I am not familiar with the circuits for sound.

      Not really. When the soldering iron touched the SMD LED, there is a lot of heat around that area. The Blu-tack will definitely melt first and the LED will come loose. Of all the double-sided tapes, the grey 3M tends to last longer before its glue weakens. This indirectly encourages one to solder fast.
