Not made in China. "Not for now atleast" 😂
Hassan Pedro made in China might not be bad
There are plenty of companies that can wave-solder boards here in the US. There are plenty of jobs that can be created here soldering on a last component, testing them and putting your Malduinos into a plastic shell. Perhaps you can support the US or a country that's more aligned with the western world.

PCBWay makes the boards and ship them really cheap. I do not remember the price, but it is quite cheap for few bucks only (I guess there is some dimensions limit to that price, too, would actually need to check), so if you actually have a small board, having it panelized is really a good idea. If you want to keep track of every sold piece, you could also use a tracking number on the PCB using silk screen and keep a list of sold pieces. PCBWay will also solder the components for you, and you can then have your product ready from China. JBC is also provides its services for board manufacturing, only $2 per board (also limited by dimensions, would need to check), so panelizing is also good idea here. JBC actually uses their own tracking number on your order and they put it on the board itself, so if you want to keep your boards off that tracking number, it would be wise to place a tracking number placeholder somewhere on a throwaway part of the panel, just to keep the number off the board itself - their placeholder is JBC repeated like 4 times, they replace it with the tracking number later. If you want to use their tracking number on individual pieces, think twice, because they'll assign the tracking number to the single board, and you may end up with bunch of boards with the same tracking number (which I guess you don't want). Keeping tracking numbers is quite pain in the ass for an individual, so I will save myself off the hassle actually.
I've purchased 2 of these last month and I could not even tell at first glance that these are made by hand. You've done a great job assembling them. You should look into an ultrasonic cleaner instead of the manual process you use. It is able to clean underneath the components as well.
Thanks a bunch! I plan on outsourcing manufacturing sometime soon, so cleaning pcbs with a toothbrush will become a thing of the past.
Hy i got one as well but I don’t know how to use mine please can you walk me through it. Thanks 🙏🏾
Young man you are freaking Awesome!! You are the kid I tried to be when I was young, but I was from another generation. I'm 55 now and a retired disabled veteran. Watching your videos make my day. You are very talented. Thanks for all the knowledge that you are willing to share with us. I just ordered a MalDuino. I wish that I had ordered one sooner so that I would have gotten a "hand made" one. Thanks again for everything. I live my wannabe knowledge through your videos.
I feel sudden urge to buy this...
I feel an urge to DIY this
@NH3 yea me too
You can just buy digispark for around 1.5$ delivered
Josef Kuchař i know but there is no sd card nor a dip switch
@@nielsjonkman7196 1) You don't need sd card, you can flash the sketch directly 2) You can solder a dip switch easily
I would love one of those Bluetooth jammers because at my school some students bring this super loud speaker and play music loudly every day especially at lunch and break.
Oh wow! I thought that you've made only few by yourself and then the rest is done by machine in some factory
Like seriously WOW! I'm impressed that you're able to do all of this by yourself and still be able to sell it for reasonable price. I'm glad I bought one and helped you!
Respect! I bought one of these a while back and never realised the work you put in making them. Thank you!
I have a malduino, and one of the switches broke. Totally my fault. I ordered a new DIP switch, and soldered it on (with a conventional soldering iron). Even that comparatively huge component was hard to solder! It must be very difficult to solder all those tiny resistors and capacitors and the microchip.
thats why he uses solder paste
I use a microscope. It works well up to a point.

So do you still make them by hand? I just recently bought one and I'm curious
He posted 7 months ago that he's planning to source them out so I guess not
Did it come with a micro SD card?

I didn't knew you made them yourself, that's amazing!
I think this deserves much respect, the quality of my ELITE is outstanding!
I'm also VERY happy with my purchase, since you can choose what stored script you want to run and it's way cheaper than a Rubber Ducky. The only missing thing that would blow the Rubber Ducky away would be some kind of 'Twin Duck' for the ELITE.
Got an all new appreciation for this board. Just waiting on my order to now be delivered.
We’re working with a bit of a backlog, through if your order hasn’t already shipped it will do within a couple days!
Thanks for doing full sized USB, much easier to fit a case.
this guy is mass producing products, and still does surface mount components by hand, that's really impressive
lol im in UK too RIP maplin 2018
will admit i was a fan of the MalDuino but never purchased one just thought they where pretty cool but couldnt think how to justify the price but after seeing how much work you put into them and how repetitive as one person i think i may purchase one in the near future XD as a cool lil gadget and to support
I love seeing these tips on creation of boards with SMT parts - I'm still restricted to through hole parts. Need to upgrade my soldering equipment.
How many Malduinos do you think you have done so far?

What if you sneez while assembling ?
Everything will fly off.
sad, unless he covers his mouth gg
solder paste is sticky. you gotta be careful with touching them ;]
Turn your head and sneeze on someone.
i wish we could invest in a pick and place machine for him to help support and grow his business
Human pick and place machine, huge cycle time, awesome stuff! Didn't think that could be done by hand.
It's best to do pre-production final prototype by hand if you are a low-capital start-up. Less investment needed to start getting something saleable.
And you know the product more intimately so if there are issues with the chosen layout you can more quickly adapt.
Then first series of sales can also be done that way: basically investing your own work time instead of risking ordering a zillion from China and finding the market is smaller than you hoped. There will be a minimum order size before ordering from abroad becomes cost effective. And you have to front the cost of the whole order before you get them back to sell (This investment tied up in ordering stuff is sometimes called "working capital")
Then as the business grows you trade off the extra capital outlay of putting in an order against your saving labour time.
+Seytonic Heya, you don't need to use a hot air station to reflow that... You can use all manner of hot things. We personally use a toaster-oven type device with a removable lid. Preheat, set them in for a bit, and take them back out. Much easier than blowing hot air on each joint.
3 hours and a lot of knowledge to manufacture them. Really cool work :).
Why not use a stencil made out of flash paper and just put on the components. It would be faster and fewer bridges would form as the paper would act like membrane aligning everything properly. then just burn the paper :)
Nicely done! You should get an ESD safe brush for cleaning the panels tho. Keep it up
Proper msd handling as well.
I am very surprised that it was made by hand. High Quality 👍
Made by hand in Europe I'll go buy one to test. Proud to support you.
i bought one and the quality is amazing. its been bounced around and dropped and its survived everything
I want to see a video that goes more in depth of the coding part!
Cleaning. You can submerge the lot of those pcb's in a bath of ethanol. They'll dry out and leave the components undamaged.
I'd test a dip switch in there first though, make sure they don't react with the plastic.
Use an ultrasonic cleaner with pcb board cleaner, rinse in ipa then put in oven at 70 degrees c for 40mins.
How about taking the next step in DIY mass production/automation? A reflow oven made from a cheap toaster oven upgraded with a solid state switch controlled by an Arduino with temperature sensors.
Wow, this is really great to see. I have several ducky script injectors. My favorite is the OM.G keylogger cable. Now that I've seen your video I mostly want one of your MalDuinos for the hand-made cool factor.
Can you make a list of components which you have used on malduinos? I have a project for uni & I want to try to manufacture one. Thanks
I don't really have any use for them but after watching this I now want one.
I don't know whether or not Louis would approve of what i'm about to say ;) but IMHO, with a decent iron, the right tip and a bit of practice, I find QFN packages to be easier to solder by hand than hot air, just tin the board extremely lightly first, then tack down two opposing corners, add some flux and run your tinned iron along the edge, starting from the side with no tack. rinse and repeat 100 or so times. I just don't seem to get the time savings that others do with solder paste when working by hand, too many nasty bridges in hard to see places. Either way, nice job, and your method seems to work for you. Good to see that cottage industry is still alive :)
I saw the title "DalDuino: How it's made" .So I clicked.
Awesome video, also bought one just for educational purposes. Could you specify the "learning curve" you mentioned on the video? as what's your background and you had to learn? I'm trying to design a 'Arduino compatible' project for myself, not a bad usb tho, but I think it might be good to hear it from somebody that actually did it so I can compare if I'm on the right path. Thanks!

Wooden desk + fabric matt
My ESD OCD is triggering
@seytonic There are cheap amazon part reel holders so you can avoid tweezers by using that and a vacuum pen. From experience its like 4x faster using a vacuum pen, you dont really need a switch to turn it on/off the solder is sticky enough to overcome the vacuum! Just a simply aquarium pump is perfect. I spent 40$ on the whole thing.
serial numbers: you could use them as your own to identify batch etc
that solder paste looks just like the thermal paste you put between the CPU and the heatsink
I could see this as a tutorial for a future diy malduino kit
I recomend you to add some guide holes, both in the stencil and the board (an extra piece that can be snaped off), that way you can just slide a rod in the 4 (or 2 but diagonaly) holes, that way you have an easier and quicker stencil alingment.
Im no expert, Ive done smd soldering twice, but it should work if you are mass producing them.
Flux is a good thing, the message I got from the vid was as if it was a bad thing not sure if that was the intent. Flux basically helps create a cleaner solder connection. You do however have to clean up the flux because after a while it can corrode solder joints.
Flux is a good thing while soldering but a bad thing when it outstays its welcome
Think of it like washing up liquid (dish soap). It's great for cleaning out a cup, but not so great if some stays around to join your next coffee...
i gonna buy one now.. was thinking about it for a week now, but this made me do it
I have the same station, but branded Yihua. The hot air works really really nice but the soldering iron is a joke...
Where do you bought pcb for malduino and how much it cost
Maybe sell them as a kit, unassembled. Have never soldered smd before :D
a monitor hooked up on the camera would help a lot to check if you are on focus! If you cant find anything cheap use an old laptop screen ;)
What are the names of the socket and circuits used?
Love your content keep it up
Hate your second name, keep it up

@@mylo5641 Exactly the reason why you just asked me the question..After all it's just a name. I didn't say I hate the Mahtma Gandhi. Just all these people using it as their suffix. You know the family right..haha
I order one and a deauther, can't wait for it. I think shipping is a little slow due to the holidays though.
I've always used a shitty toaster oven for smt reflow. You should look into it so you can solder and assemble at the same time.
Nice video.
Only thing I would add is roughing/cleaning the pads before applying solder. (Fiberglass pen and alcohol are all you need for this step.) This is because a thin layer of copper-oxide may form between when the boards are manufactured and when they ship, and roughing the pads will help the solder have a stronger bond with the board. If you do this, and the pads appear significantly brighter, you may find it much easier to get your solder to adhere to the board and not itself. thus reducing the number of bridges you encounter. It is also helpful to do this with the pins as well, but this is often much more difficult as they are not a flat surface. Also I try to not let my iron get above 320c, this is to avoid the risk of damaging sensitive chips. My iron may also have the thermocouple placed differently. So, my readings may differ from yours.
These are only suggestions based on how I was taught. My instruction came from my grandfather, who taught me to create joints strong enough to survive vibration tests for tanks. Don't take my advice as gospel, I am only a hobbyist. I have not done this at the volume you are working with, nor have I done soldering at an industrial level. My advice is all habit, which comes as second hand advice.
🤣🤣🤣I was using subtitles and when he says “malduinos” it says “mold we nose”🤣
Yeah--got to be careful not to get mouldy noses
Wait: this was a year ago: was this an early hint of a certain virus...
Amazing work! Greetings from Germany :)
(Next month I will order some more, allready got some)
I've been wondering of it for a long.
Pcb breakoff asmr
Isopropyl alcohol is flammable, but your soldering iron would evaporate it instead of igniting it. Nothing is there keeping the gas at its flash point ;)
If I could offer some tips:
1) Get you solder screen setup on a hinge and use some scrap boards to make a bracket to hold it in the right position. Put the board in swipe the paste over, next board.
2) Make yourself a quick part picker like this: ruclips.net/video/5fAbWfyrtE0/видео.html you can get other vacuum attachments that fit the syringe. Just drill a hole in the side of the syringe that you cover with your finger to create a vacuum, then let go when you want to drop it.
3) buy your parts in tape/reel format. Use some cheap double stick tape on your work surface and stick them down, then peel off the covering
4) build a reflow oven, i recommend the kit used in this video: ruclips.net/video/GRzsfkpgS44/видео.html
5) Board design wise, you might want to make the board a little bigger and put all the hand solderable parts on one side, and the SMD parts on the other.
6) Acetone works a lot better for cleaning solder paste off the stencils
7) Build a programming rig with pogo pins. In the same vane, you could make a test rig as well.
You could seriously cut down your manufacturing time following even a few of these suggestions. I used to make a similarly complex board with 4 batches of 25 in an hour using the above methods.
have you thought about using an ultrasonic? not sure how well that would work with the dip switches, but it should be ok if you flush it with IPA after (99%)
Did you make the panel? Did it come with the Arduino boards?
i feel bad buying one i thought they were expensive for what it does but after seeing this and how much effort goes to it i think it should cost more
Have you looked into getting your AVR chips pre-programmed?
At 12:16 you complain about having to wait to change tips, I just "hotswap" (pun intended) with a pair of pliers. It's not ideal or safe, but it saves a heck of a lot of time
What's the estimated shipping time if i was to order 400?
Genuine question, what is your device failure rate / faulty returns?
Being honest the way you clean them with that cloth certainly has me concerned.
Im thinking that cloth could generate a fair bit of static which is murder on processors.
And yes the problem with getting China to produce them is they dont respect copywrite and you will find Chinese copies all of a sudden.
Nice to see a cottage industry production though. Youll be a Millionaire by the time you reach 40 ;-)
Thanks for the video...
Maplin is returning don't worry
Well done. It looks like a very professional product!
instead of normal tape, why dont you use kapton tape so you can paste the pcb's then just hot air them while they are still connected to the stencil so you use all the paste and not have to worry that not everything has paste on it?
I bought one!
Got one of your MalDuino elite's in yesterday had a look just now and DAME its looking good!!!
the only thing i don't get is my dip switches has ON OFF written on it at the top...?
First i was like i don't understand. but i looked around and your other one's say just ON on it so i guess its a different brand.
I will just use a marker or something and remove the OFF, so it makes more sense ;)
But that's a small stupid thing. it Looks freaking Great! (tomorrow i will get a sd card reader so i can play with it properly, yes i know i can use the tool.)
Insane!!! 480 degrees is like double the temp needed the solder melts at 298 degrees...
Why can't we see how you custom made/ designed the components you are soldering on to the PCB?
Nicely done, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best.
I want to buy this for trolling at school, but have no ideas of what to do further than that.
Hey man, do you think there would be a way to port or flash these with the Twin Duck firmware? That way you can use it as a storage device and a badusb at the same time
They are called applicators the thing you called a card without anything in them
Will you sell shells to make them look like normal USB sticks ? Or provide a link to buy ones from amazon or something ? thanks you for the malduinos they are pretty cool i love them !
Thats alot of hard work. U did it nevertheless. What a spirit.
