Roger shows a DIY RLC-Box with many switchable functions due to a clever wiring of the resistor-, capacitor- and inductance-switch.
Support Roger on Patreon: / kainkalabs
All 3 Components can be set to 48 different values with a 2-layer 24-position rotary-switch.
You can get 6 decades of component-values if you take components from the E6-series or 3 Decades with the E12-series.
Furthermore a simple DIY RC-Box with a continously variable resistor and capacitor is shown.

Hi Roger. This is the most complete Low-pass, high-pass RLC box I have ever seen. You should pack it, seal it, and sell it. Really, I am not kidding.

[@KainkaLabs]

Hi Alex. THX for the compliments.
The versatility came during building this little beast.
I was surprised by myself how many combinations of R, L and C in parallel or serial connection you can get with only 2P2T-switches with center-position.
In fact I was contemplating if we would take this into our shop for commercial selling.
The problem is, that all components must be hand-soldered to the rotary-switches and the 2P2T-switches.
And that took me some hours...
Perhaps we will try it as a kickstarter project and see if enough people are interested.
Have to do the price-calculation and think of it...

[@AlexTechWiz]

You know, Roger, this RLC box is not for the average Joe, this box is way advanced for an average user. School, universities, technical people, etc., all of them including myself will love to have it. I understand perfectly all the time it took you to put it together, but you got the prototype working. Go for the kickstarter project, and I will be the first one to support you.

+1!!!

​@@AlexTechWiz Alex R.. Is this guy ok do you know?? i was put on to this video by a guy off the comments on a Big Clive video, but then he told me how this fail to launch as a product and then he has gone static on youtube???? he thinks he might be not be to good after it failing to meet a target of some kind which i thought was mad coz its such a class bit of kit!!!! anyway you seem to know him a bit better i was hoping you might be able to let me know if he's OK????

@@keithking1985 I was just thinking of going over to Big Clive's resistor box video and comment "well... have a look at THIS!" .... glad to hear someone else has already done it.

[@jimmydburrell]

Great tool. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@robertanderson8613]

Thank you so much for a great video and most importantly the way. To build it as well as labels

[@demetriusmichael]

Novice here: AFIK Having a large air gap between components prevents them from interfering with each other, hence why you’ve hand soldered this.
However - Shouldn’t this matter only if the component trace / wires receiving power are next to each other? The design inherently prevents any frequency/ resonance issues because you’re only using one component at a time, no?

[@edgeeffect]

Wow! That is a soldering masterpiece &/or a soldering nightmare.... amazing piece of work.
I like the look of the trimpot version... I might make one of those sometime soon.

I know im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@raidenmaurice3552]

@Ayden Jackson instablaster :)

[@aydenjackson8328]

@Raiden Maurice thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@aydenjackson8328]

@Raiden Maurice it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !

[@raidenmaurice3552]

@Ayden Jackson No problem :)

[@keithking1985]

i just got put on to this video by a guy, brilliant what else can i say...

[@iosifM789]

I would like to build one of those and I tried to get the documentation you so kindly provided, unfortunately it seems like the cert for kainkalabs web needs to be updated in order to get a secure connection.

[@KainkaLabs]

Yes, the SSL certificate has expired and in the last 12 months I didn´t have time for anythnig, Nevertheless you can download the docs with e.g. the Chrome browser when you allow an exception. Better still if you wait for 6-8 weeks, you can download the full production files, a manual etc. from the Kickstarter campaign pages. I have (after a 12 months pause) continued the project in the last week. All parts are in production or already on the way to me. When the first are shipped, all files will be published and it will be available for buying in our online-shop. In the meantime all progress updates are also published on Kickstarter.

[@mbaker335]

It might be the design task from hell but would a pcb design using surface mount devices work? A double sided load on a two layer pcb maybe. Once designed and optimised then manufacturing can be automated and you would have a great product. It would not have to be perfect. Get 80% of the way there and it would still be brilliant.

[@KainkaLabs]

Probably one would need 2 PCBs because the rotary-switches have 2 layers (or is it levels?).
That could be feasible without too much manual rework.
