It's 2020 and I just came across Collin's Lab. You are the man!
For me it's 2021
Wonder what happened to him? He seems like a genuine character
@@Jamslerr I see him sometimes over at adafruit's channel
For me it's 2022 and I'm running out of his videos
@@Jamslerr he also has his own channel. Try looking for Collin Cunningham. 👍🏻
This is the guy who started it all for me. I was entertained by his videos in '10, loved him, and I am now part of creative Microsystems building coin sized computer for money! Thanks Collin! We miss you!
He's gone? what happened?
Justin F ditto I wanna know to:)
Miss him?
"ensure you're able to void nearly any warranty" I think I may have found a motto I can get behind.
My Electrical Engineering homework break consists of watching this video... which makes it oddly efficient. Thanks Collin!
I realise I'm 7 years late but this video is great, love the personality!
better than me lol. I'm 12 years late 😂
Came back 10 years later and the intro was definitely nostalgia
Collin's videos have changed my life. I know that's overly dramatic, but I don't know how else to put it. He explains things so well, they just make sense.
Collin, your tool suggestions are right on. The advice was right on too. Your delivery was great. My favorite needle nose pliers, which I have two, are 4" Diamond, made in the USA. Thanks for the great presentation. Joe
What?!?!? No helping hands? Ah, this video is 9 years old and still relevant. Legend.
I wish you we would keep putting new vids out. I'm here now and ready to watch them all
I love Collin's Lab! Every time one comes out I know I'm going to have fun for the next 10 minutes. Faux candid moments are hilarious
Colin is the only teacher I ever needed.
These are Honestly some of the best Electronics Instruction Videos I've seen. Clear concise explanations, Easy to follow, and Humourous and Fun .. Go Colin !!
Always great information. And I love your style Collin!
i love this series so much
I still come back just to listen to Colin.
Thanks so so much for all the helpful tips, you are amazing. I love watching all your videos.
Great video, as always.
Loved the bit about the magnifying visor :D
and what about the digital multimeter?
Stick with fluke, saved my ass many times. Chinese multimeters can kill.
i love talking to tools and love those who talk to their's.... you are cool Colin.
Pure joy - danke! The debate on purchasing the magnifying visor has been settled.
this is great idea for me about the use and name of electronic tools tnx
you mean "FreedOhm"!
+Zer0's Supremacy Hey everyone, the greatest results that ive ever had was with the Gregs Electro Blog (i found it on google) definately the most useful info i've followed.
Get out!
Imad Kharchouf
hhhhhhh ok sm7li xD
HHHHHHHHH,, MEGHRIIIBIII??
saha echeikh !!!
I dig this guy ..has good sense of humor not to mention he really knows his stuff!
Entertaining video - linked to it on my forum!
Love those super-sized vise jobs!!!Great video......
Dear Collin,
With the help of your videos and a few others, I started making prototypes and circuit boards and just last thursday I was granted my first patent.
Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to at LEAST a few of us!
You sir, can easily cross the line between seriousness and comedy very easily.
I appreciate the way u treat ur tools..
Haven't you always wanted to use his iron, it's so awesome
I come back to this video pretty often every year without fail to make sure i have everything listed here for work. Very useful video wish he made more
This is a great video. Lots of good information with lots of laughs along the way.
This was super helpful and understandable for beginners.
Omg finally the brand of his awesome soldering iron, I've been waiting for that
Hi, this is Jeff Hansen.
What are three wires for on small fan motors?
I understand + and - but what is the 3rd wire for?
It is a mystery to me.
JWH
Tin snips are hardly used for Tin anymore but they are good for almost any kind of sheet metal up to a certain thickness, its one of the most useful tools I own
Dear Mr Cunningham,
You are the Best
Regards
You are a geek and you have a good sense of humor
I don't know anything about eletronic but I can watch this all night :D
You had me rollin...love your style.
It was a new soldering iron (so also the tip) and I always use rosin core
it just turned out that the 80W iron got to hot because since I added a in-line dimmer and got the right temperature everything works great and the tip isn't a problem anymore
I love this new setup (instead of a simple 30W iron I now have some kind of 80W station :)
A big "HI" to you wise man! I have got a crazy question. When I turn on the motor of my Nissan X-trail, my Garmin GPS (Nuvi500 has no battery) turns off, because the starter drags down the car battery voltage to 8V. Thus, I series soldered a 65000uF/25V electrolytic condenser and that allows to bridge the momentary min. 300mA/10V power loss.
Question: is there a way of using smaller condensers, such as using super capacitors? I bought some o.47F/5V5, but when I connect 3 of them in series the GPS ignores them. How come?
Dry sense of humor, my favorite, thanks for the info. Subscribed and liked, I'll be back.
Collin is just all different types of AWESOME rolled in to one
I need to get a good vise. Everything else I got! Thanks for another fun video!
YES. Metcal. I used one at work and fell in love.
Thanks for making this video!! I bought the Weller WLC100 and it made a world of difference compared to the knock-off I was using. Lesson learned.
Not just you.
Those cheapos, not worthy
Thank you, you gave new good ideas for my lab. =)
Been tinkering for many years, I'm reassured to see I already have most of this. But there's always something in these video's that is a good and new idea to me. Keep up the good work!
really awesome stuff :) Thanks Colin
You are awesome! I had several good laughs watching this and appreciated the advice. Keep up the good work. Thank you! :-)
There is something so oddly satisfying about these videos.
I like the way you talk..the way you presented things
@MainVuper Collin considers a multimeter to be a "test instrument" - though it is, of course, vital!
I use a firelight to strip wires..
Oh yes and thanks for your nice videos, you are my favorite of make.
Hey Collin, did that curved tip come with the Metcal or did you specifically select it?
Good presentation man
YES COLLIN KEEP ON MAKING MORE VID'S BRO!
many thanks and sharing a good piece of work . Now i am ready to buy some other things which i do not have before and also this video help that which tools for which purpose. now i am ready to learn electronic so quick.
Afrotechmod's and Collin's Lab educational videos are more effective than the ones at school...... and they are cool and entertaining.
after all these years of 'suffering', lol
the panavise in, both formats, will not just save my sanity but also make life easier. thanks for the info dude!
afterthought.....my first thought was to build one myself (pretty simple) due to the fact you can't purchase 'bugger all' here in Europe and import tax is the official 'aka' for state sponsored monetary rape.
off to the workshop I go then to make: something useful ;)
"You can void any warranty". Very funny. Great work once again.
I recommend the Weller WES51 soldering iron for about $120. It is perfect for this kind of work and has replaceable tips, a very important feature.
Collin always make me laugh! Great video man!
Your tools talked much about you! Thanks for the video. You forgot the light source!
Colin come back man. Dam I'm about to start making boards and I need you to make more vids. You even stopped on Ada's page.
I think solder-wick works much better than those spring pumps you displayed for removing solder. Good video by the way.
awsome sir wish to have a kit like yours
colins lab is hands down the best series that make magazine has
Keep em coming, cool videos
great video man!
hey collin I always admired your vids. I garra question , is there anything for measuring electronic parts like for example a small resistors or capacitors to know what are their types( numbers) ?
Babylon Gate For resistors, your typical multimeter can tell you their resistance.
Capacitance or Inductance is a little trickier to directly measure, the device used to measure that doesn't come cheap.
As soon as I hear the first two notes of the intro song, my heart starts to race.
Awesome stuff, informative and entertaining
Great review, handy for us just venturing into electronics. Love the comedy in this one :o)
Good gravy, I love this fella
Excellent Video.
Awesome video!
I have a few tools missing but never get the chance to get them.
Also, Where's the multimeter??? :P
what about light, fume exhaustion and as stated by other people, multimeters and other test equipment. Also what laser printer and etcher do you currently use. I know there is a older video about etching but i guess newer tools come form time to time.
Good run down but where are the oscilloscope and function generators?!?! Collin I'd like to hear your thoughts on good oscilloscopes in the USA. I like Rigol as recommended from the EEVBlog but it can be a pain to get and has some issues with encoders later on its life. Keep up with the great work! And if you can recommend some good Ham Radio kits that would be awesome!
man am serious impressed !!!! was wondering about my own lab and with tutorial as well :/
Very good 👌. Enjoyed it!
What was the screw driver set? It looked nice
will you please tell me what sort oil you use for the lubrication of your tools.
love this guys humor
Nice screwdriver set, can be a use of my gunsmithing. Do you know where I can find like yours?
He's got great info who wouldn't!
Frikkin love these vids
@treesquids INTERESTING! what is it u made if u dont mind me asking
great job on the video
hi, can you do a video on heavy-duty pcb controller boards, like the induction hob mcd3500 to remove the components and replace bcos am looking for and easy way to desolder and soldering parts as I have seen the board got a milky layer on top of it , let's say protective layer. thank bro enjoy it. 👍👌
cool tools! thx for sharing...
Thank You Mr. Cunningham
Do you use soldering wire with/ or without rosin core?
Where do you purchase these high grade wire strippers snipers and tweezers at?
Recently discovered an awesome tool/trick. To remove a component for reuse-Pull on it lightly then hit the underside of the board with a heat gun on high and close. With just a little pulling when the solder softens, the component will come out nice and clean.
Carl Carrano wow thats cool thanks man thats gonna be pretty useful later on(:
ye Colin, make your own channel, I'm not into electronics, but man... I love watching your videos!!!
Metcal's what I use at work. Awesome iron, though I like it best because it has such a short tip length. Not great at tight spaces, and they get kinda hot after a lot of constant use, but the amount of control you get outweighs these problems many times over. Too long a tip kills accuracy.
I'm very visually impaired and just getting into electronics.
To see what I'm working with, I've purchased a clampable phone stand, and use an app that sends my phone's camera to my PC so I can work by looking at my monitor zoomed in.
This magnifying visor seems pretty amazing though
My Xytronic XY-258 fell apart literally right in my hand. Now I use a Weller soldering station. I am much more happy with the Weller, and my soldering looks professional.
