Circuit Skills: Perfboard Prototyping

  • 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.

    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?

    • @EngineeringNibbles

    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.

    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!!

    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!

      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).

    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
