Paul, your the greatest. Love the honesty and sharing a rev 1 experience. Because of learnelectronics and Kiss Analog, I have a bench and love reproducing your projects. Don't let the trolls get to you.
Man I watch your channel because you show everything. I know how hard of a time I have building simple circuits sometimes, you did not let us down, you showed us the importance of double checking our numbers. Sorry I’ve been gone this last little bit Paul I’ve been having a rough time, but I’m back now. Thanks for all you do for us Paul.
Takes a real man to admit mistakes, cowards edit them out. Show me a man who never made a mistake and i'll show you a man who never did anything. Everyone has an opinion but it doesn't make it right. It's the mistakes that we learn the most from e.g. beware of these pit falls. Great vid and thanks for sharing, mistakes and all. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ISO Guy I came here specifically to express these same sentiments. I respect and trust people who admit their mistakes WAY more than people who hide them. THAT shows that you have confidence in your abilities and yourself. On top of that, it shows that you aren’t afraid to fail, and being afraid to fail is often what keeps people from living up to their full potential. Bravo for having the guts to thumb your nose at failure! Thanks to your character, now we have ALL learned one more way not to do a thing. Keep up the good work.
Fully agreed! Although on a few (I would say less than 5) occasions in the many videos that Paul has produced I wished that he posted a follow up video explaining the mistake and showing the result had the mistake not happened.
Well it’s very nice to see that we sometimes make mistakes, it makes me feel a lot happier knowing I’m not the only one who makes mistakes, thanks for sharing great video.
The man that never made a mistake never made anything! We learn by our mistakes and the mistakes of others, just part of life; I hate it when people won’t own up to their mistakes, become defensive or go in to denial, so respect to you for that.
Too hard on yourself Paul. We’re all learning and I watch your videos because I learn a lot about electronics and circuits from the way you teach. Thanks mate 👍
Glad to see I’m not the only one who can build it perfectly on a breadboard, but get distracted or something when I’m making the schematics, and I don’t catch it till after I’ve ordered the PCBs. Normally I have fried a chip or two in the process. I have honestly got in the habit of finishing up the board design, then I’ll wait a few days, go in and double check everything, do this again a few days later, and maybe I’ll do it a third time. I just need time to sleep on it I guess and to get away from it so I’m not going to convince myself I did it right because I’ve been looking at it a lot lately so I know it’s right... usually takes me a week once I’ve completed it, and I always find a few things. Great video as always, and I actually like this channel because it’s not scripted! Is nice to see people who can talk about this stuff off the cuff, has a more relaxed feel. so what if you said transformer instead of transistor, we know what you meant from context.
One of the good things about seeing you make mistakes is how you debug them and correct them - that's a really valuable skill to have. I often mess things up but have trouble figuring out why. Glad I can learn from your successes and mistakes! Keep up the good work!
All I have to say is you did a much better job than I could have done!! No worries, we sometimes learn more from our mistakes than our triumphs. Keep up the good work my friend, really enjoy you sharing your knowledge!!!
Didn't let anybody down Paul. Us nubiles need this so we can learn how to trouble shoot our circuits! Why not make a video about the process you use to get to V2 with all the trial and errors included. We really appreciate the honestyi
Hey, I really appreciate your videos. I can relate to working on something and having it take multiple tries to get it just right. I'm sure it will be perfect in the end. Thanks for making these!
Paul I like it when you make mistakes as I think "Hey if this guy can do it why not me I'm just as much a klutz as he is". Inspirational as usual yer a good teacher Paul and entertaining too 😄
I've converted a camera mount into a phone mount. Part taken from a selfie stick. Using them to make videos. Plus the video and audio from the note 9 is pretty good. Just have to filter out the noise using Da Vinci Resolve 16. Noise reduction and Gate feature is included on the free version. Moving from iMovie, I'm very happy with it. Still figuring out things as I go.
Prototyping is somehow about leaning with mistakes with first revisions and it is represented here. Swap the resistors, capacitors needed and it will work better, thus resulting in a better , refined revision.
Awesome video, and you managed to put of 4, and no magic smoke, I call that a winner. Some small adjustments and you get the rest right too. Keep up the good work, looking forward to you next video..
I'm glad to see you include your mistakes. I'm a seasoned electronics tech, and I make them all the time. I watch a lot of videos from other channels I follow, and they edit out they're "fallacies". Keep on keeping' Paul. 73 de Patrick KI8UM
What? You did not let anybody down. You showed how to produce the worlds most edgy sine-wave ;-) And more importantly, you showed that mistakes happen, even for experienced people. It takes a real man to own his mistakes in public.
Great Video Paul...One way to get rid of the trolls... set up a paid membership site. Even if you just charge a buck or two a month...all the trolls will disappear......Keep up the great work !!
@@jasonlee3247 "In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community" - They are everywhere. Its easy to get sucked into responding to them , especially is its a subject you are passionate about.

You did a great video, showing mistakes is GREAT, you learn more from mistakes then from successes. I am looking forward to version two. I hope you add the ability to change frequency of output.
Paul, If your videos and experiments came out perfect every time, we might think there were more than one person involved in the production. Performing the troubleshooting can sometimes be more taxing than the original effort of engineering the project. Great videos!
The circuit diagram shows the capacitor on the trigger connected between rail and ground, I cannot see how this can work. From a more general point of view, there is a joke about a car driver who stops and asks a local for directions. The reply he gets: " if you are going there, I wouldn't start from here". I question if the 555 is the best choice for this project, when there are many better solutions.The 555 needs two resistor adjustments to control the frequency and the mark space ration of its square wave output, as the timing capacitor charge and discharge times are set separately. A further problem of providing a frequency adjustable output is that a tunable low pass harmonic filter is required to turn the square wave output into a sign wave. There are single IC function generators on the market, admittedly the digital ones require a controller of some sort to program them such as the AD9833, but there still a few analogue ICs on the market. I refer you to the XR 2202 or ICL 8038 (which is a near perfect fit). The traditional approach is to make a tunable Wayne Bridge oscillator, as this provides a sine wave output, and it is always easier in the analogue domain to turn a sine wave into some other wave forms than do the reverse, without using a significant number of components. Triangle wave forms can be generated using a constant current output oscillator to charge a capacitor. The square wave can be generated either by limiting the sine wave signal or feeding it through a digital divider t type flip flop. For a simple circuit, i might choice my old favourite the quad Schmitt trigger as the square wave oscillator, or maybe a quad op-amp. The latter offers a number of way to generate the wave forms required. In the past, I have used 4017 Johnson counters to synthesise a pseudo sine wave output, using resistors into a summing op-amp. An R2R resistor ladder network makes a low cost D to A, that can be used with a memory to generate programmed arbitrary waveforms. A 7046 PLL can be used to generate square waves up to 18MHz. For a fixed frequency generator, my inclination would be to use a crystal oscillator and divide down to the required working frequency. The 555 was never my favourite circuit, because it always seem to be so limited and there always seems to be a better option.
Very Good Channel, I like it when you admit mistakes.I don't feel so bad when I let the magic smoke loose. You might say did I learn anything? Yes, open a window. Thanks for your videos.
I don't think you can beat the $3 price point for a 555 function generator module from the Chinese ebay/aliexpress/whatever sellers but maybe you can make something which is more interesting for modders and tinkerers for a bit more. I think you do a little miniseries how all the circuits work and what is what people will benefit more for having this particular one so they can follow up on the thinking and improve the unit or whatever.
We all love you Paul, warts 'n all! I think your function generator is a great idea and would make a brilliant kit especially for beginners! Oh, and it's useful rather than the usual flashing leds etc! 🤣
This was fun. It's nice to see others make the same mistakes I do. I have a habit of forgetting where I put the decimal and a cap that was .01 micro Farads is .1 micro Farads...LOL. This is one of the things I love about your channel. Keep it coming.
May I politely suggest that you down load the linear tech application notes on low distortion audio signal generator. This uses a Wayne Bridge circuit with AGC implemented with linear tech high speed op-amps. The component cost should be low as there are not many components used in the circuit. It will also be relatively easy to add an additional comparator or op-amp to generate the required square and triangular waves. Failing this can I suggest that you look at the ICL 8038 precision waveform generator IC. This cost approximately £2.39 and has very few external components to make it work. Both the above offer better solutions than the 555 circuit and would be worthy of development on a PCB. I commend the use of the myriad of application notes that the IC manufactures produce, particularly those of linear technology and Texas instruments. These are always a good place to start when considering a new project. It is up to the individual or they chose to simply copy the application note circuit or to refine and improve it to meet their needs. It is not an admission of some designer short coming to use such application notes and the technical notes that go with them. It is not our job to reinvent the wheel, but we can make improvements to it and taylor it to our needs.
Dude, don't worry. As an old and wise man once said... Shit happens. 😬 BTW, I don't script my videos either. When I realize I made a mistake when still recording, I say it again and cut when editing... And if I realize during the editing I just put a text in the screen correcting me. But every process has its fails, so... It can always happens. 😬 Anyway, great job! 😊
Corrections, given in the spirit of humility are beneficial for learning. I don't think there are any experts here. Opinions, should be expressed as opinions. If we can't tell the difference, we should keep quiet or as you say, move on. No worries Paul. You're doing okay.
No offense but I think this video got a lot more interesting because of the fail. I Dont feel let down or anything near that. Great video. I would love to see you replace the components and try to hook it up again.
I've got the same problem as you, the same ISP provider. I've asked when were going to get fiber? They don't even know when or where...supposedly. Yeah Right. It's so disheartening I've given up trying to upload at 2 or 3 speeds, first 5 minute video took about 7 hours, the next around 4 hours & it still varies so much no matter at what time of day or night I try it.So you must have the patience of a saint to keep uploading all the time. The best of luck with your channel for doing this. No one's perfect so it happens my friend.
Great Vid Paul, and hello from UK 🇬🇧, would rather watch a video with honest mistakes in than polished ones tbh, can't wait to see the next instalment of this wonderful project, really nice pcb layout and love the purple, don't get disheartened the work you have already put in is truly inspiring, if and when they become available I'm sure they will sell well , put me down for one, keep up the great vids. Thanks for inspiring.
When was the last time you used a Triangle wave? Multi level Square wave I use. Stepped ? Sign wave I use. In the old analog old Tv days Ramping voltage was handy. Used in sweeping circuits but never used these days. My wonderfully Damaged Brain Prevents me from grasping what is required to use the Software on the Board maker. Sad Fact. Please take that in account if I ever ask you to provide one of your products. I have not issues following directions nor the schematics. I fully understand that. Utilizing the Gerber Files to make a order is impossible for me. Simply out of my Computer Oligy Reach.
This video is not scripted? 😲 I thought you had a writing team, lighting, sound and post production. The torture I must put myself through to watch an amateur video, the pain, the pain. Feel better Paul, I'll listen for you on 7.185.
We all make mistakes. Good on you for being honest about it. BTW China is shut down due to New Year celebrations until Feb 10. Or until the are over coronavirus, whichever takes longer.
You let me down? YOU LET ME DOWN? The hell you did, not only is it awesome when youtubers put in their mistakes, it also helps us learn because you tend to learn more from mistakes than failures. But not only that, When we inevitably make mistakes, we feel much less bad because those teaching us are capable of making the same mistakes. Ignore the haters, they just don't like seeing others do what they believe they can't. God bless and looking forward to more.
I like your design, even though it isn’t right yet, I know it will be. I like it because it’s made of manageable components that you don’t need a microscope to tell what’s what. Also I have a question. Will your finished design be up for running a car ignition coil ? Can it handle the transients that frequently burn up my F.Generators........ All puns intended!
I think its great you make mistakes because this shows we are human and most of all we all can learn from it great job and your efforts. I think constructive criticism is healthy but bagging criticism not need and disrespectful to the owner of there publication. I think your doing a great job and service to the new and young folk of this topic. And as Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th century say to those bagging, biddi-biddi-biddi-biddi to them . Keep you the great trials and tribulations . In Aussie bonza to your work. :-)
We love you Pauly, keep up the mistakes! There is too much of this ragging on people nowadays. if we could make a channel for insecure people we would have many subs. lol, can you say: inferiority complex. the quote I live by is this: “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.” - Eleanor Roosevelt.
NO you didn't let me down! You keep doing what you are doing! I enjoy your videos and the raw truthiness of them. I am sure if you have a melt down and tell the negative idiots to take a flying leap every one will cheer you on. We are loosing creators like you every day because they get fed up of constantly being criticized by viewers with armchair PHD's who have no content to back up their claim. Hey I will take V1 mistakes and all as I am 67 and know that great things come from trial and error.
That's 13:39 minutes that I'll never have again. What's the point in posting your failures? Everyone makes them--no sense posting them--there's no point in it. Make an out-take vid for those, please.
Paul, your the greatest. Love the honesty and sharing a rev 1 experience. Because of learnelectronics and Kiss Analog, I have a bench and love reproducing your projects. Don't let the trolls get to you.

Agreed. Pin 2 (trigger) is connected straight to Vcc. The view of the board at 0:25 shows the same. I can't see how this would oscillate at all

Nice PCB, just a bit of tweeking needed, thats all. Great vid demonstrating that things go wrong from time to time.
Always enjoy your vids.
This video is not scripted? 😲
I thought you had a writing team, lighting, sound and post production. The torture I must put myself through to watch an amateur video, the pain, the pain.
Feel better Paul, I'll listen for you on 7.185.
Why would I watch another channel? I would not get to see or hear something I can correct.
Thanks for the video!
We all make mistakes. Good on you for being honest about it. BTW China is shut down due to New Year celebrations until Feb 10. Or until the are over coronavirus, whichever takes longer.
Oh no....well you make great videos and I don't feel let down...you should see my oops...not pretty!! Thanks for all you do.
You let me down? YOU LET ME DOWN? The hell you did, not only is it awesome when youtubers put in their mistakes, it also helps us learn because you tend to learn more from mistakes than failures. But not only that, When we inevitably make mistakes, we feel much less bad because those teaching us are capable of making the same mistakes. Ignore the haters, they just don't like seeing others do what they believe they can't. God bless and looking forward to more.
I like your design, even though it isn’t right yet, I know it will be. I like it because it’s made of manageable components that you don’t need a microscope to tell what’s what. Also I have a question. Will your finished design be up for running a car ignition coil ? Can it handle the transients that frequently burn up my F.Generators........ All puns intended!
Edison messed up a lot of lightbulbs before he got one to work.
awesome job!
That train. It’s always wait for you to start your recordings lmfao.
2 trains per hour min 24 hours a day
I think its great you make mistakes because this shows we are human and most of all we all can learn from it great job and your efforts. I think constructive criticism is healthy but bagging criticism not need and disrespectful to the owner of there publication. I think your doing a great job and service to the new and young folk of this topic. And as Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th century say to those bagging, biddi-biddi-biddi-biddi to them . Keep you the great trials and tribulations . In Aussie bonza to your work. :-)
So Paul, Were you high? LMAO that cracked me up, Don't let the A holes get to ya brother.
We love you Pauly, keep up the mistakes! There is too much of this ragging on people nowadays. if we could make a channel for insecure people we would have many subs. lol, can you say: inferiority complex. the quote I live by is this: “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.” - Eleanor Roosevelt.
Don't apologise ..
You are human after all....🖖
NO you didn't let me down!
You keep doing what you are doing!
I enjoy your videos and the raw truthiness of them. I am sure if you have a melt down and tell the negative idiots to take a flying leap every one will cheer you on. We are loosing creators like you every day because they get fed up of constantly being criticized by viewers with armchair PHD's who have no content to back up their claim.
Hey I will take V1 mistakes and all as I am 67 and know that great things come from trial and error.
"BEEN THERE !----DONE THAT" JUST KEEP PLUGGIN' AWAY . AT THIS POINT I'D TAKE A NAP AND THE ANSWER WOULD COME TO ME ! .
A 555 timer cant have a 50/50 duty cycle...mathematically :)
Ha love your video's have you heard about free Micro-Cap 12 circuit simulation software. it may help with debug this circuit.
We know you scripted the train in this video. Don't lie to us.
welcome to the reality of electronics, its worse than programming how much of a bitch it is.
That's 13:39 minutes that I'll never have again. What's the point in posting your failures? Everyone makes them--no sense posting them--there's no point in it. Make an out-take vid for those, please.
To me it was a lesson learned. I loved the vid. Gives me courage to go find the fault and not to give up. Thanks, Paul.
@@johnnystamboel7745 That's what trouble shooting vids are for. If he shows it right & you follow his example, you should succeed.
