Circuit Skills: Perfboard Prototyping
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มี.ค. 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
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!
His videos are much better then the ones that are just commercials.
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!
Bending the lead in a certain direction I have never thought of that and I have been doing this for a while amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Engineers like Collin never die,they just go OFFLINE!
I really like his soldering skills 👍
LOVE the synth music! I hope it's used in every video from here on out for multiple reasons!
2:08 omg that is the most satisfying looking circuit !!
Collin produces high quality TH-cam videos, it would take me for ever to get to that standard
I think you are the only person who does instructional videos on this channel nowadays.
Excellent video Collin.
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?
Welcome back Collin, really like your video's!
I like the music. Good job, thanks.
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.
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
Collin is f'n awesome.. Thank you for your well thought out tuts...
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.
@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
Sorry how do you connect your chip to the ground plane for that prototype PCB?
Hi Collin where do you get your perf board the big green like the ones from the led organ?
So precisely what I am interested in!
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 what website did you get that from it looks like there are many different guitar pedal schematics there! thanks!
Thank you for this video, it really helped this noob out
Wow, that music is perfect for the video!
I really like your videos about electornic.
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!!
As usual, nice work!
thanks for the wisdom! why would it blow? if what is not connected right...?
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!!!!!!!!!!!
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
can i ask why do you connect the viper of the pot to one of the sides ?
wow collin is amazing. A M A Z I N G ! How can you dislike this ?
I went to the page you were looking at, but could not find any part numbers? how did you come up with a shopping list from that picture?
Nice job, thanks for the tips
Love all your video's. Keep it up.
i have no clue what he does but its 100 times more interesting than any of the john park videos:)
just FACINATING
Nice music COLLIN.!!!!
It makes interesting electronics.
Is it bad to try to fit components within a small surface area of perfboard?
The excess holes trigger an itch to adjust them compactly, especially in the absence of an IC
it is better but then you will have to cut the board.
@Frodoflo Human ears do not hear changes in volume linearly, so pots compensate for this by adjusting the taper to fit
i had a question could you make in and put it into a altoids tin
Old video I know but how does one wire a 1/4" output to perfboard like this?
Nice tune and vid man! Thank you :)
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!
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?
what gauge of wire do you use for prototyping?
Yay, and actual DIY instructional video from Make. =D
What website did you use to get the custom guitar effect diagrams?
www.jiggawoo.eclipse.co.uk/guitarhq/Circuitsnippets/snippets.html
What site were you scrolling thru at 3:09?
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
A question, can any resistors be used for jujst anything and if not when will io know where to use them
for the jumpers, does it matter what wire gauge is used?
Suggestions for sourcing perf board in totally custom dimensions ?
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
where did you get the Soldicore wire? preferbaly online? Please reply :)
is that an original 65 mustang or a reissue? i've got one that looks almost identical with a couple extra scrapes and chips.
@make: where do i find this guitar effects site?
+aj abarquez www.jiggawoo.eclipse.co.uk/guitarhq/Circuitsnippets/snippets.html
HI,COLLIN,CAN YOU HELP ME,I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OP-AMP IC I CAN SUBSTITUTE FOR A JRC4559.
REGARDS
Love your videos! Also
how many watts have his iron and how long do you have to be on board for heating it up
this guy is brilliant
@xiaoyangkao2 my mistake, I did not make my point clear enough
I want to find this part to make this project, but I can't find it with that name because the salesman doesn't know this description
so is ther any other possible name for it???
the other two are linear but this one not
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!
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
Guys do you know what drill size he used for mounting the off board components to the eclosure? Thanks!
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...
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?
Love that Circuit
Nice one Colin! Excellent vid, and a nice subtle (sort of) show off of your iPad... :)
What iron are you using?
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).
How do you get rid of the soldering flux fume?
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 =)
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?
Collin make a video on how to prototype circuit with strip board or parallel strip board
can i use telephone wires as my jumpers?
3:51 what are those called and do you have to use it?
does it actually matter where you put your pins and solder or does it make a difference
how did you learn how to make circuit boards?
this dueds vids are so long but yet soooo cool!
Being a guitar player yourself, I was wondering if you've ever considered making a one-of Frankenstein instrument? A Warmoth Telecaster body pre-routed for the Line 6 Variax electronics and a little extra custom routing to accommodate for the wiring and pick-up placement for Roland's GK-2A electronics would offer a world of multi-tonal possibilities. Interested? Run the numbers. If it's not obscenely expensive... I'm in.
I own a Arduino Uno (I F*ing love it). It's a programmable microcontroller, and Arduino makes an IDE to program them with using a modified version of C programming language. You would want one if you want to perform digital (and PWM analog) functions. If what you're doing requires many ICs or tons of analog, then I'd suggest maybe looking into Arduino. If it's purely analog circuitry, then it's not necessary. He's definitely trying to upsell, but if it's around $30, pick one up, theyre fun
Hola veo que no tienes el foot switch o me equivoco, se puede evitar?
that was a pretty cool effect
like your style! keep on keepin on
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
Can i do this with the contact mic
Collin's back!
im confused about how to power things while using pin per hole. anyone able to help?
For some reason I call resin laminated paper versions(the tan kind) perfboard, but the fiberglass kind(the green ones) protoboard.
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.
What soldering iron is that?
What i dont get is how do you know where to jump the cables to?
Feel it in your heart...
@cheapfxstudio Is it? I have heard it called loads of different things, perf board, veroboard, strip board etc I see Maplin call it matrix board but I have never ever heard it called this :S
very very nice explained !
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.
You are the best man!
