I was getting so frustrated watching you place all the smd parts completely unaligned... but ten watching it all straighten out when you were reflowing the solder, brought great relief to the rest of the video viewing experience
Oh, that is beautiful. I wonder what physical property causes the chips to align when the solder melts. My guess would be surface tension, but then I had never seen this kind of thing before.
As others indicated, it is surface tension of the solder. It is not enough, though. The second important ingredient is solder mask which is used to repel solder from other parts of the board. Beautiful video! Many thanks, I just ordered one on AliExpress.
Initially, the solder connections looked quite nice. But, while removing the excess solder, some of the connections seemed to have a somewhat granulated appearance indicative of a potential cold joint or was that possibly just an illusion caused by the remaining flux?
Probably a bit of both. The board was preheated on the hot plate to 170C which is just below the melting point of the solder paste I'm using. For the purpose of making the video, I had to spend less time with the hot air gun than I normally would to prevent reflowing the rest of the board. The LEDs are not coming off, but this board has served it's purpose of allowing me to test the SPI protocol of the NXP MC33996 before making my decimal to binary to hexadecimal converter.
Hi Anthony, I have an Andonstar ADSM302 like you and I am very pleased with it. One thing that displeases me is the delay between the motion you make in real time and the image you see on the LCD screen. If you move an object with some speed in front of the objective, it is seen as broken or gives you the impression that it is bent. How do you deal with this small inconvenience, is it something related to habit or can something be improved on it ?
That is the SPI bus. The squiggly lines are called serpentine traces and that are to ensure signal traces are the exact same length so the timing is perfect. They're not necessary for frequencies that I'm using(4 MHz), but you'll find them a lot on high frequency PCBs.
Depending on what solder paste you use, the flux residue will be different and thus will be cleaned off the PCB differently. Always check the Safety Data Sheet of the manufacturer. The manufacturer may often also make a flux remover. If you check the Safety Data Sheet(SDS) for the flux remover, you may be able to make your own cheaper. I use MG Chemical Solder Paste with "No Clean" flux. Even with No Clean flux, there is still a residue that can hold onto the solder balls seen in the video. I use a mixture of Acetone and Isopropyl Alcohol which is not much different than the Heavy Duty Flux Remover that MG Chemicals makes. www.mgchemicals.com/downloads/msds/01%20English%20Can-USA%20SDS/sds-413b-l.pdf
Just asking what is this? I don't know what that board is because I don't know much about them. Is that meant for a pc. And aren't those only made in factories, how are you making them yourself
Hi, nice video ! How did the IC soldering turn out ? At reflow it was looking like some beads got lost in between pads. From the matched traces coming to that IC, I assumed you'd run that board pretty fast, how good did it perform ?

Question: Who did you use to make the yellow PCB? If this was a one-off board for helping your project move along, it seems way too pro just for that. That said, I'm jealous of the results. Please spill your source. Thanks.
I designed it just to prototype test the spi chip and that's it. It's so cheap and fast now that it actually makes sense to spend a little time a design a board up instead of breadboarding everything.

The solder touches on the chip, would this not cause shorts in the solder joints? When you put the black chip on the board it smears the solder seems to make contact with other terminals. Just wondering if it does contact?
Great work. But having said that, if you're working on a cell phone board this would never fly. You would have to use solder on a fine tip. Those components are so close together that you would have a disaster on your hands with all those solder balls everywhere. But still, Great work here!
You are using a solder mask to put on the solder paste. I use a syringe that has extruding diameters. By hand. I can be sloppy and it will still come out ok.
robin vermillion I’m using a stainless steel stencil to apply the paste. Solder mask is the colored film laminated to the PCB. I also have a syringe but stencils are so cheap now that I’ll probably always order one now.
hi Proto, thanks for your share of the Video. We have our new arrivals of AD407 digital microscope. And I want to send you one. it is our new hot sale products.I will write you email.
If this comment ever gets viewed, I would love to know why there are "wiggly" bits on the PCB? I cannot for the life of me find anything on Google, maybe I am searching for the wrong thing? Please somebody let me know : D My guess is that it is used to delay the current? Just a guess.
You guessed right! High speed signals need to arrive at the same time so the path lengths need to match. If one is nearer, the trace is lengthened by the squiggles. More here: resources.altium.com/pcb-design-blog/introduction-to-high-speed-pcb-designing-signal-paths
Both are fine and it depends on where you're from. Don't be one of those people that thinks that their pronunciation is the only way. Most Americans pronounce solder the same way I do.
It's a shame that a company like 9gag makes millions of dollars a year based on stealing content and re-uploading without linking to the original work.
That is because the pads are larger than usual because they are hand soldering smd pad footprints. I didn't plan on using a solder stencil at the time I designed the boards.
Soldering footage was filmed with an Andonstar ADSM302 HD Microscope.

This has to be the best thing ever, its so relaxing
Wong Chong thanks!
This is much more satisfying than 90% of other "satisfying" video
Very sharp! It always fascinated me that the paste is made from tiny balls while placing SMD parts using a microscope at university.
Super satisfying seeing the solder melt!
Can't believe how it gives a very pleasing and satisfying sensation.
So satisfying watching the components self-aligning... amazingly sharp microscope picture... just woooww!!!
FANTASTIC video!!! Ohh yeaahh =]
Thanks man!
Yeah
Yeah ! I guess surface tention of the molten solder does the trick of aligning the components to the solder pads.
I was getting so frustrated watching you place all the smd parts completely unaligned... but ten watching it all straighten out when you were reflowing the solder, brought great relief to the rest of the video viewing experience
One of the best things on life is to watch solder paste melt and align and solder tiny components at the same time.
Oh, that is beautiful. I wonder what physical property causes the chips to align when the solder melts. My guess would be surface tension, but then I had never seen this kind of thing before.
billeethesciencegeek it is surface tension

Beautiful video! Many thanks, I just ordered one on AliExpress.
Even more fun and oddly satisfying in slow motion.
Videos quality keeps going up every time! Such a relaxing video. Thanks for the effort!
MsMs_SS thanks for watching!
Nice soldering, very satisfying
A Hi-res, soothing and enjoyable watch. Who needs meds :)
I find it pretty relaxing too. Thanks for watching!
Amazing quality on the microscope, super sharp, it competes with a 500 dollars smd microscope.
this is next level "ASMR"

Wow, you can even see the atoms!
Very satisfying video. Thank you for uploading
There is a lot of not baked paste between IC pins. Will it be short cirquit there?
Thank you, good man! You make real relax video
So awesome but what is the microscope that you are using?
Can you tell which gloves you are using for these small electronic jobs?
At 4:59, that looks like way too much solder - or is it just sheen on the flux residue?
Can you give use your andonstar settings ?
Thank you for your video.
what kind of batteries does the remote take?
Why are the traces so long for the bottom right pins? (I'm referring to the two traces that go in a zig-zag pattern)
That is the SPI bus. The squiggly lines are called serpentine traces and that are to ensure signal traces are the exact same length so the timing is perfect. They're not necessary for frequencies that I'm using(4 MHz), but you'll find them a lot on high frequency PCBs.
How the hell do they make those little beads of solder that are in the solder paste, all exactly the same size?
@@LucaBlightOfHighland great question! 🤷If you find out, please let me know
So relaxing. Thumbs up.
Rob Fowler thanks Rob!
Hi!
Ive been trying to solder smd 0603 led to a pcb without success with a soldering iron.
What things were used in this whole setup?
Please help!

I ordered one of these for doing game console repairs, takes forever to arrive though...
Beautiful

Nice work!
Thks for the vid I met a new item. Could u explained a little about the mask you wear in the pic above? What brand is it? You use it for soldering?
Blasting all the balls out !
Ha ha ha !
Really cool video ! Thanks a lot Proto G !!
I like when components align when solder melts. o.o
Excellent
how much magnification did you use for the video
?
very good !!. I like you music .
Those LEDs seem to be coldsoldered...

The board was completely fine after the solder melted. Any excess solder not connected to a pad was easily cleaned off with isopropyl alcohol.
Great work. But having said that, if you're working on a cell phone board this would never fly. You would have to use solder on a fine tip. Those components are so close together that you would have a disaster on your hands with all those solder balls everywhere. But still, Great work here!
it looks like LEDs are not attached after soldering.
Satisfying
SATISFYING
What does the process look like to put the solder balls on?
Do you have a video on that?
Thanks
Yes, one of my previous videos ruclips.net/video/HWliS5APBjA/видео.html
Glad I searched the comments before asking. Awesome work btw.
Thank you!
Gracias

Какую паяльную пасту использовали в видео?
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Thanks for watching!
What is that pcb for?
how did you put the solder paste that neat ?
The paste solder is placed using a stencil.
How did you attenuate the glare from the lighting?
I didn't do anything. This is raw footage from the unit with lights shining from the side.
X rated. :)
what solder paste are you using?
And WHY haven't I seen this until now?!?
You still need more time heating the parts, still can see small solder balls, and some parts are not well soldered, good video anyway.
any 0603 or 0402 soldering using ADSM302 ?
I don't solder 0603 or 0402 on boards I design for myself but it can be done.
hi Proto, thanks for your share of the Video. We have our new arrivals of AD407 digital microscope. And I want to send you one. it is our new hot sale products.I will write you email.
i need the cheapest Laser soldering SMD
How paste is named ?
4:48 pure short ?
what kind of lead is that,,
Name of solder paste?
Oh so they use suspended tinny beads.
Ball grid arrays scare me.

hold the board still
Перфекционисты в конвульсиях смотрят это видео.
Soul - der ... Soddering is something else entirely
Both are fine and it depends on where you're from. Don't be one of those people that thinks that their pronunciation is the only way. Most Americans pronounce solder the same way I do.
They aren't perfectly aligned! Nuuuuu!!!
what size where the components think at least 0805 those are not to bad to solder the 0201 are a bitch and don't even start about the 01005.
I’m hungry for some reason
the soldering mixed at 4:49 is it ok with that
0:42 nooo :(
It's solder not saadder
Depends on where you're located. Both are correct. Americans drop a lot of Ls that people in the UK and Canada keep. Talk, Walk, Calm etc.
lol, I saw this on 9gag today
Niklas 194 where? Do you have a link?
Proto G 9gag.com/gag/a3K7Qp3
It's a shame that a company like 9gag makes millions of dollars a year based on stealing content and re-uploading without linking to the original work.
....too much solder paste
That is because the pads are larger than usual because they are hand soldering smd pad footprints. I didn't plan on using a solder stencil at the time I designed the boards.
No problem. Good job.
for that price this microscope is real crap. better buy used stereoscope for that price
Feel free to share with everyone a stereoscope that can take photos and 1080p video for around $280.
