HUH?
Still no explanation of difference between a normal transformer and a flyback one. Disappointing video. Not even the origin of the name is explained.
thank you!
The bypass cap is supposed to be as close to the chip as possible. It can't do its job all the way down there by the supply input. Ideally it should be directly across the Vcc and Gnd pins, but as close as possible is acceptable. The intent of it being present is to deal with the chip's internal switching spikes. Inductance as in traces reduces and even eliminates the effectiveness.
Thanks for the comment. I have highlighted this information in the video I believe, the pcb design is just for visual.
Awesome video I learned a lot and this helped fix a lot of bugs for me. Wondering what software you use to simulate? It looks very good for prototyping
It's not simulation, it's an animation only.
Great video cheers
Nice explanation.
Congratulations!
"European grass fed wall power" im stealing this :b
I also stole this from somewhere 😅 maybe Great Scott or something... I don't quite remember.
@@francisstudiosengineering he has some good lines lol. AVE does as well. There's nothing quite like a good engineering joke
Cant believe you only hit 1k subscribers. Your content its amazing!
Could i translate some of your videos in spanish? I would LOVE to
Hi, sure, go for it! If you would credit me in the description that would be awesome!
take care of yourself
Thanks! ^^
You are my neighbour :) I'm from Slovenia. I have been interested in electronics since childhood :)
Greetings neighbour! 😁 I love Slovenia! Been there a couple of times - drove through the whole country - the nature is exceptionally wonderful there, and the people are really kind.
Excellent video. Liked and subscribed. What software do you use for your simulation, please?
No software was used to simulate the circuit. It's just animated. If you are asking which CAD I'm using for the circuit design - it's KiCad.
Which software you are using ??
Its called CRUMB but I must warn you: it's VERY limited so it isn't good for too much things. At least it's cheap.
Nice video! Wanted to try this chip as it came along with Arduino, but i did not get too far with example sketch. After watching this i might be able to try use my own inputs. I don't have capacitor, but example sketch seems to be working. Would it be necessary with one SN74HC595N? I use LEDs as output.
You can go without a capacitor, it should work without, but you might experience some bugs or unexpected behaviour if you drive it too fast.
The metal chassis IS a proper heat sink.
I would disagree - respectfully. I would call it an adequate solution; as it can deal with the thermals of this small IC, but definitely not a nice solution IMO. A proper sized metal extrusion heatsink would cost a dollar or maybe less - that would have been a more proper, less hacky solution than ribbon wiring the IC down from the PCB.
@@francisstudiosengineering the reason it is a proper heat sink: "I would call it an adequate solution; as it can deal with the thermals of this small IC"
By proper I really meant an aluminium (or whatever other metal) heatsink as it's custom in HIFI amps; maybe mounted on the PCB. Something that does not just work, but there is a little bit more design invested into it. These were my expectations, but the reality was a little bit underwhelming, so that's the reason why I would phrase it as "non proper".
I can clearly see op amp chip and 2 clipping led's, for overdrive/distortion.
You are not the only one :) 4:17
The tda2030 seams to be widely available from the usual suppliers for around a dollar a piece as an assembled module. Digikey says the IC is out of stock and out of production, I hate to design a project around an obsolete part even if there's still tons around. The LM1875 looks like a good alternative. Building a practice amp with either of these parts sounds like good content to me.
Nice video!!
Thanks!
Woah nice
This is cool! How much power does it draw? What kind of batteries did it use? How much does it weigh? Too bad you didn't show the measurements compared to today's multimeters and you didn't take any static "beauty shots". I would have liked to look clearly at the whole device and each detail.
It weighs 400gs w/o the batteries. I'm not aware of what kind of batteries does this device uses; i reckon something proprietary lead acid brick, but there is not much info on the Internet about this. I could not showcase how precise the measurements are on this, cuz I don't have a bench multimeter to compare it with. And comparing it with my handheld multimeters - it does not make much sense, because they aren't really high end, precisely calibrated instruments either. Thanks for the feedback tho. Appreciate it :)
@@francisstudiosengineering Thank you :) keep it up!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, brother. I hope you are always healthy and always successful

Great work
Very lovely basics serie ❤
This was a great video. Thanks for upping this! I’ll subscribe to we more. Also, your accent is very unique, where are you from and what’s your nationality ? Cheers from USA!
Hi, thanks for the nice feedback. I appreciate it :) All the best from Hungary :)
Thank you kindly. That was very informative.
I'm glad you liked it :)
What software is it?
CRUMB - but it's a pretty limited app which didn't get any updates in the last one year, so for basic breadboard stuff like this it's okay, but usually it's too limited for meaningful demonstrations.
🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
LOVE
"USBAsp" modules are really cheap to buy and easy to find, and generally work just fine as an ICSP for AVR chips if you don't want to wire up your Uno every time. Another interesting route to try is using newer Atmel chips, less likely you can get them in DIP, but they can be programmed with a one-wire UDPI interface (so 3 total - ground, vcc, signal) that can be constructed using any basic UART module (RX,TX) and a single extra resistor.
For a USBASP programmer, I assume you include a 6 or 10 pin header on your PC board or breadboard and plug the programmer into that. Is there an issue with the other things already connected to those pins?
I like the way you talk also great video 👌
Thank you
How to connect
6:00
I really like your presentation style. Keep it up, you don't need to change anything. Videos on specific chips might draw a smaller audience than say a general take on reading the spec sheet and building circuits from that. I look forward to the next video either way!
In the monostable operation, I see an issue with the switch. When closed it will short VCC to ground. Connection 2 of the switch needs to be moved to the other side of the pull up resistor. But the bread board circuit looks correct.
I wish I read this comment earlier, I burned two buttons 😅
Hmmm....I wonder why the circuit simulation s/w didn't catch that? Ah, I think I see why. The breadboard is right, it's just the schematic that is wrong.
this is the best video i have ever seen on this shift register. 100/100 perfection!!!!
The typical bipolar Xx555 timer had an issue with high through current exasperated by stored base charge which required the large 10 uFd filter cap and emitted noise pulses into neighboring curcuits. The CMOS versions avoided this problem. The also worked wider range and lower power. They could not drive 200 ma but light a LED OK.
Thank you for the interesting info :)
Beautifully done! What is the 3D breadboarding software you used to do this?
It's called CRUMB, but I'm not sure if I can recommend it, because it's very limited and there is no update for a year now...
I love crumb
Never heard of an SN24HC595N IC
It's quite useful and versatile ^^
Mi piace molto guardare il tuo video when i’am in to improve my english
Grazie! Good luck with English learning :)
At the start, you should show how the pins are counted, from the dot around, in case a viewer is new to this and doesn't know. 🤔😁👍 I Love Shift Registers. Thanks for the Video!!
I hope you keep your channel alive. It takes awhile for the algorithm to notice you work. Hang in there.
Thank you for the nice comment :)
Great Video, please keep on!!!
Pretty cute! Reminds me of the Glasslinger's giant "Nixie" project, only it uses neon tubes rather than electrodes in a noble gas filled envelope.
keep the serie coming
Thanks!
Love the chip chat! Rarely done in detail whilst keeping it fairly brief, and much appreciated. Newly subscribed in the hope there's more 😉
Thanks for the nice feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sure there will be many more episodes of the series. Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on many interesting chips that I can showcase :)
Any chance that we can get in touch?
How can I help?
were wondering if you would need some custom service we provide so we can do some work together@@francisstudiosengineering
Thank you for reaching out. Currently I have everything I need in terms of PCB design and manufacturing, thank you. (If I'm not mistaken you are on behalf of PCBWay)
Glad to know. Keep up the great work.
Great work, carry on!
I've watched lots of shift register vids but this one made it click, good job.
