Circuit Skills: Perfboard Prototyping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- When you think - "DIY electronics", one of the first images that likely comes to mind is a bunch of parts and wire soldered to a standard piece of perforated circuit board - and that makes sense. Perfboard is super-versatile - essentially it's just a grid of potential solder-point connections. You can trim it down to just the size you need - or leave extra space for future enhancements ... or revisions, if need be.

The music to these Make: videos puts me at ease. Collin is one talented dude.
So true
i guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch new series online ?
@Ares Kingston Flixportal :)
@Valentino Jordy thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D I appreciate it!
@Ares Kingston Happy to help :D
Engineers like Collin never die,they just go OFFLINE!
I really like his soldering skills 👍
I must say! Another great video for most of us beginner-intermediate electronic enthusiasts. I learned a few great tips on my own after so many circuits I built. But I picked up a few more with this video and your other videos. Thank you so much. And keep them coming. :D
Very nice to get a proper introduction to the basics of this prototyping technique. I've used these boards before, but just kind of did whatever seemed to work!
The best strain relief for external parts I've seen is when you drill two holes next to the solder point and loop the wire down and back out.
Jared Jeanotte I do that alot with my projects. It defiantly help keep wires from pulling out.
You do that in the walls of your home as well. Standard practice to leave a bit extra in the wall, also no twisted runs. Keeps the heating and cooling damage down, plus the extra at the end makes repairs a breeze!
yeah thats what i do
@@edlingja1 I wish they did here. Where I live the electricians seem to like leaving barely enough to even get the fitting out of the wall sufficiently to get to the screws to detach a wire. And then screwing it into a new fitting is nearly impossible.
You can also just use the holes in the perfboard depending on the wire gauge or a bit of hot glue.
Excellent vid! I was just going to build an audio project and was considering perfboards. This video is just what I need!
Excellent video Collin.
Collin produces high quality RUclips videos, it would take me for ever to get to that standard
Welcome back Collin, really like your video's!
LOVE the synth music! I hope it's used in every video from here on out for multiple reasons!
His videos are much better then the ones that are just commercials.
Bending the lead in a certain direction I have never thought of that and I have been doing this for a while amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2:08 omg that is the most satisfying looking circuit !!
Collin is f'n awesome.. Thank you for your well thought out tuts...
Good tutorial. One caveat: after testing, scrub the board using an old toothbrush and some 90% isopropyl alcohol to remove solder bits and flux. Make sure the board is completely dry before plugging it back in.
I love Collin's videos! You're very smart! Also, where do you find the music you use in your videos?
Keep on the good work!
Love all your video's. Keep it up.
As usual, nice work!
Nice tune and vid man! Thank you :)
I like the music. Good job, thanks.
Nice job, thanks for the tips
Thanks Collin - great video and you add interest with your charisma to a potentially dry subject and make it very interesting. Can anyone point me to a good guitar pedal in/out switch to add to the PWM and also possibly a way of making the LFO have separate CV in/out. All the best. Ben
I think you are the only person who does instructional videos on this channel nowadays.
I really like your videos about electornic.
@blubberass my soldering iron only allows solder to melt on one side ( flat head) and the tip isn't hot, too big for electronics, only large wires. if you live in the uk check the fuse in the plug
very very nice explained !
Love that Circuit
So precisely what I am interested in!
You are the best man!
thanks for the wisdom! why would it blow? if what is not connected right...?
Yay, and actual DIY instructional video from Make. =D
wow collin is amazing. A M A Z I N G ! How can you dislike this ?
like your style! keep on keepin on
Nice one Colin! Excellent vid, and a nice subtle (sort of) show off of your iPad... :)
nice work
this guy is brilliant
that was a pretty cool effect
I don't care how many times I hear an American say "sawder", I am always going to say "soulder". I'm Irish and proud. :) Love these quirkily well presented shows :)
All good, proud Irish people. Y'all have a lovely accent.
@@spagetmen You do see the word has an L in it right? Do you call the nearest star, Sol, (aka the sun) "Saw"?
@@wcndave Hey I know this will come as a shock to you but English words can have silent litters (calm, walk, could).
@@ithuriel2927 lol. It's true that some words have silent letters, but that is not the case for any of those you've listed. Unless you pronounce walk like whack.
@@wcndave I'm not sure if you're trolling or English isn't your first language but the l is silent in all of them. You can look it up. Don't take my word for it.
And anyway. Even if they have no silent letters (which is not the case), my point stands. Just because the word has an l doesn't mean the l has to be pronounced.
Hey, Collin (or anyone else reading this), have you seen or used those conductive pens? You can actually draw a circuit with them as the ink (more like a thin paste) conducts electricity. I messed around with one for a bit but found it did weird things with the resistance and whatnot. Any thoughts on those pens?
resistance is high and picks up noise and is prone to shorts
it's great for kids but not much more than that
For some reason I call resin laminated paper versions(the tan kind) perfboard, but the fiberglass kind(the green ones) protoboard.
Love your videos! Also
i like ur iron, what temprature is ur iron and what solder compound do u use? and what is the tip made out of if u know, PLZ RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like the settings he is using at 7:41. Anyone else who's built this pedal managed to figure out what they are?
Wow, that music is perfect for the video!
Thank you for this video, it really helped this noob out
I'm back to this video (after soldering my 3rd attempt to a VCO which came out with a success)... And I can tell that one of the most important parts here is _planning_ . It's hard to plan your layout well "on fly". Merely impossible.
So I recommend to everybody a small program called *DIYLC* . It's not the best program but it's free and you can share your layouts with friends easily.
After planning i've made a pretty accurate circuit. First two looks like a mad spaghetti! And they've didn't worked :) Actually that was more about a flux that wasn't cleared... But a lack of planning (especially with sensitive circuits like any complex VCO) can lead to a mess or a not working thing.
I’d love to know just what type of circuits are clicking away in that background soundtrack. Sounds like some pretty basic ‘twin T’ networks through a PT delay then a filter. I had a bunch of those dark red capacitors that were getting very soft when heated. Upon tearing a few open, I was not altogether shocked to discover two leads laying close to the ends of a surface mount capacitor. No glue nor solder to strengthen the connections. Just clay tightly packed around leads with their ends touching the SMD caps! I was curious if this is actually the way that through hole components are made now? It might make an interesting video. That pedal is pretty darned clever. For how few parts it uses, it’s quite capable. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS!!
I understand the concerns about high voltage and that it can kill you, but I already got the electric scheme and even complete setup drawings. How hard can it be?
Guys do you know what drill size he used for mounting the off board components to the eclosure? Thanks!
it is generally a good idea to test your circuits on breadboard first if for no other reason, just to make sure all your parts work correctly
I've had to mod circuits from the net before to get the expected results and there's nothing more disappointing than a huge project that doesn't work at the end when you aren't sure why
What website did you use to get the custom guitar effect diagrams?
www.jiggawoo.eclipse.co.uk/guitarhq/Circuitsnippets/snippets.html
Good Job.
Suggestions for sourcing perf board in totally custom dimensions ?
Nice music COLLIN.!!!!
It makes interesting electronics.
I find myself preferring "pad per hole" more and more these days. Sure, it's not quite as neat-looking on the underside, but my layout options are more flexible and I don't mind a bit of spaghetti! I've found the thing that's helped me most is to use PTFE-insulated hookup wire - if things are getting a bit packed-in, it doesn't melt if you accidentally jab it with the soldering iron!
Old video I know but how does one wire a 1/4" output to perfboard like this?
Collin make a video on how to prototype circuit with strip board or parallel strip board
A question, can any resistors be used for jujst anything and if not when will io know where to use them
Collin you are so cool!!
I noticed that an oily residue formed when he solders. It happens to me too. What is it, and how can it be avoided please?
I love this video but don't see a need for this personally could you please do a build of the tweak-o distortion I really wanna build it but find the plans a bit perplexing thanks ,
Ted
do you think make could build a cnc router system with a arduino and joystick that run stepper motors? that would be great for building other projects...
made an octave doubling fuzz for my guitar outta the exact same board, Jumpers everywhere for places where you need to make a connection for more than 3 componets, annoying to solder to when you dont have a smaller tip, cant find pencil thin screw in tips for a weller SP23L iron anywhere
@Frodoflo Human ears do not hear changes in volume linearly, so pots compensate for this by adjusting the taper to fit
nice i like it! thanks for the video
Hi,I am new to prototyping and wondering how to hold a TP4056 li-ion battery charger module and DC-DC booster alongwith battery together--can these modules be glued/soldered ,how does one put this into a project box?
I was thinking of directly attaching modules to project box wall if possible using glue OR can we attach them to veroboard?
i had a question could you make in and put it into a altoids tin
how many watts have his iron and how long do you have to be on board for heating it up
this dueds vids are so long but yet soooo cool!
for the jumpers, does it matter what wire gauge is used?
can i ask why do you connect the viper of the pot to one of the sides ?
Sorry how do you connect your chip to the ground plane for that prototype PCB?
Very Cool!
How do you get rid of the soldering flux fume?
Very helpful. Thanks. I need videos like this because I have absolutely no one to guide me. 100% self-taught through the internet. I can read about it and it helps but when I see it everything clicks and I can do it. So, thanks. But could you tone down the music a little on other videos? Its a good beat but just a little overpowering when I am trying to listen to what you are saying. Push a little to the background.
@julieail there is a great project about a 74hc14 for a great robot
Collin is not just an engineer. He is an artist.
awesome!
3:51 what are those called and do you have to use it?
Hey collin what website did you get that from it looks like there are many different guitar pedal schematics there! thanks!
He looks like one of the characters in the Argo movie!
Hi Collin where do you get your perf board the big green like the ones from the led organ?
What i dont get is how do you know where to jump the cables to?
Feel it in your heart...
For everyone who doesn't know yet, Collin has left Make. He is now part of Adafruit Industries, where he is featured in some videos allready.
Can i do this with the contact mic
@turf7227 well shouldnt that make it quite easy to get it back?
what gauge of wire do you use for prototyping?
please I ask you If there is a device makes this skills : (( effect + EDGE + DRY))
I know one of them (( Ibanez 0t 10 octave)) I want to know If there another device as It
I'am on a connect
@turf7227 well i have an ipod touch, which i love, and youre 100% right, theyre pretty much identical... though the only thing i ever wanted of my ipod was for it to be a lot bigger...
is that an original 65 mustang or a reissue? i've got one that looks almost identical with a couple extra scrapes and chips.
thats freeking cool, I never thought of building my own effects peddles, wow, just add in a hobbie box and you would have something you could use all the time thanks for inspiring me to want to build one.
Hey Collin
I know it can be really boring everyone making you questions, but have you any tutorial on how to make a circuit to switch automatically between a mains>12v tranformer to a LI-Ion 12v laptop battery, like an emergency backup system, when main power gets cut off it switches to the battery power.. Aaand when the mains are on, the circuit charges the batteries..
All this is for my door lock..
Thanks 4 sharing your knowledge =)
thank you so much!!!
Very nice video. It would have been interesting if you added 3.5mm headphone jacks so you could play music through it and use the PWM effects on it.
Collin's back!
does it actually matter where you put your pins and solder or does it make a difference
Years ago I picked up a perfboard, couldn't make sense of it, so i grabbed some cladden board instead and learned how to make my own pcb's. Now I kind of want to learn it lol
When Colin soldered the first jack, the solder created a yellow fluid, does anyone know what the fluid is?
NeXTSTORMING
The yellow liquid is called "Flux"
Flux, also called rosin. It is in the solder to act as a barrier between the melted metal and the air - otherwise the metal would oxidize and no longer conduct electricity. All welding needs a way to shield the molten metal from oxidation (well, I suppose if you weld in space you could do it in the raw so to speak).
thank you!
im confused about how to power things while using pin per hole. anyone able to help?
