Arduino Prototyping Techniques

In this video I'll talk about making your prototype more robust by moving from a breadboard to perfboard. This will allow you to get more customer and user feedback without worrying about a failure from a wire falling out of your breadboard. 👉 Leave a tip via cryptocurrency if I've helped you out:

Can you make more videos?

[@mubassherkamal330]

he has a big perfboard right behind him

[@senrinakamura4456]

Easy to understand, engaging, and very helpful. Keep it up!!!

[@jonathanlevin7660]

Subscribed! Straight to the point, with lots of tips and great demos.

[@3DavyJones]

Very nice, thank you for the useful tips!

[@Andrefa75]

Thank you so much!

[@agrofindastation]

When you grabbed that soldering iron tip, I nearly crapped myself

[@andrewneilson492]

just learning , really helpful thanks mate

[@omarshishani5899]

Came here to find what you said at

[@matti04.electronics86]

COOL! I love perfboards.

[@ge2719]

what are the big pads without holes on the edge of the board for? I'm guessing soldering a larger wire that wont fit in one of the holes, like say +v and -v, but are they connected to the rows at all, or do you have to jump them to a hole to pass the power on?

[@andybrychenko]

Great video

[@NunoLeitaonunogrl]

Well done! I've seen so many crap instructions out there.

[@phrankus2009]

SKILLZ!

[@DesertVox]

Cutting perfboard is better done using a metal ruler and a cutter, by scoring it several times, and then it breaks off very neatly without damaging either side of the board.

[@armLocalhost]

Now, you can buy cheap Pinecil iron for $30 which also has those amazing tips which heat up itself and have thermocouple for extra temperature stability

[@ChrisSgaraglino]

Slight problem: Tin Snips DON’T come in left or right handed. The 3 types, come in three basic colors for cutting direction!

[@DamjanDimitrioski]

Any ideas where to find headers for esp32? You mentioned you used headers for the atmega chip, but what would you do for an esp32 dev boards that needs to included on the perfboard?

[@jumbo999614]

Is there a way to fix burned holes in perfboard? Sometime I'm not able to bridge the track because the surface of the hole get burned.

[@dannyclaydenchambers5907]

Keen to find that soldering iron.. Could you link please?
