    When I was 15 or so, I got a COSMAC ELF 1802 single board micro computer kit. I spent a few hours putting that thing together, and soldered carefully the whole time. When I tried turning it on, it _almost_ worked. I could enter values using the push buttons, and they would display in the numeric led panel, and I could step through memory locations. But I couldn't get any programs to enter and run correctly. I never did figure out why that thing didn't work, so I stopped doing electronics entirely and switched to computer programming instead. When you write code and it doesn't work, you can step through it in a debugger and edit it with a text editor. That COSMAC ELF computer kit profoundly altered the course of my life. If I had gotten it to work, I might have become an electrical engineer instead of a computer scientist.

I had a similar thing. when I was around 19 or so I started working for an electrician. he was and old cranky man and was rough to work for. after about a month I split. never going back to being an electrician. till a few years later when I found hvac. I think about that all the time, how if that guy would have been a nicer guy and not a yeller, I would have learned to be an electrician. got in the union and probably retired already but now I'm old and poor!

      Time is a fundamental concept that describes the continuous, irreversible progression of existence and events from the past, through the present, and into the future. It is a dimension in which events occur in a sequence and is used to measure durations, intervals, and the order of events. 🧐 But it is also the name of a really great Pink Floyd song. 😉

    Greetings from Australia. Good job making that, very neat work. I enjoyed watching and I liked the voice over with the component explanations. I have a similar clock, but because I wanted one with surface mounted leds I elected to buy it already built. One question if you don't mind. Why do you put on extra flux? Is it the type of solder you're using that needs it?

    • @LetsMakeSt-ll2wx
      @LetsMakeSt-ll2wx 4 месяца назад

      And a hearty "How you doing" from Brooklyn. Thanks for the compliments. That was something new I was tying for this video. The pictures of the components that is. As for the flux, honestly it's just something I saw when I was watching you tube videos on how to solder but I do notice that the solder does flow much better then using it.

    • @rogerwilco5187
      @rogerwilco5187 3 месяца назад

      @@LetsMakeSt-ll2wx Considering what's going on in some parts of the world, we're doing ok down here thankfully. Thanks for replying and the explanations. Of cou're right about flux making solder flow better, but with good rosin/flux cored solder it really shouldn't be necessary as long as you don't leave the heat on the joint too long. It's a bit strange that you had so much trouble with the USB port soldering. The extra flux on that should have made it easy to remove the bridges, as long as it's a good flux and you didn't have the iron loaded up with solder. Anyway, keep up the good work and I'll be looking forward to any other projects you make. 👍👍

    If you really want to hand solder, pre-solder the pads. Then remove 2/3rds of the solder, clean, and reflux them. Lead free solder creates more bridges and needs a higher temperature. Then you position your chip, use the iron to tack in pin 1 by heating the pad until the solder flows onto it, do the opposite corner to fix the chip, check alignment, then run round the rest of the pins, heating the pads, not the pins. You can move the iron in from the side onto the pin, making bridges far less likely. No chance of bending any of your pins too...
