Tell me about your camera setup. If you can take photo from your video recorder setup and post it in community thanks bro. I want to start being TH-camr like you :) Thank you for your attention and answer.
ipevo VZ-R HDMI document camera (www.ipevo.com) ezcap video capture -> USB 3 port Powered USB 3 hub* *The scope is not plugged into this hub, bc it doesn't work if it is! That goes straight into the PC. Dunno why. Just is. FY6800 signal generator has software on the desktop capable of controlling it (and capturable) "DDS signal PC software". I think it came with the sig gen, but I may have had to hunt it down on the internets. Can't remember. The Hantek DSO4104B 'scope also has software available for desktop control (and thus capture). This software came with the scope, but utilises the Keysight IO libraries (2023), which I had to download and install when I moved over to windows 11 (since the ones that came with the scope were a lot older). Mic is a blue yeti lights, are just cheapo ring lights off ebay, using reflected light off the walls rather than directly onto the object. It is all pulled together through OBS (using window capture for the apps) And then the editing is done in KDenlive Any post-filming audio is just done in Audacity. Computer is nothing special, just a NUC running win 11. At the time, the document camera was the best option available for me. It is relatively cheap, and enables both macro and wider desktop capture. For the closeup work, the camera is reasonably good (as you can see), though I find it helps to have it display the output on a separate screen as well - I use the loop out on the ezcvap box. That is not necessary though, because you can see the image on the OBS capture screen. I have tried older document cameras too, but um, yeah, they were not really up to the job. So check the specs and if you can, & see one running before buying. For filming though, can't stress enough how much sound and lighting matter. They seem like peripheral issues, entirely besides the point of the electronics, and they are at that, but they are also entirely necessary if you want to make watchable videos. I am a long way off working this stuff out myself. I'd love to get this all working on a Linux box, though I had some difficulty with the scope and the sig gen. One day I will figure it out!
GD dude it helps if you start out with the IC straight, solder one pin on a corner,, solder another pin on the opposite corner,, now if it's not straight you only have to adjust one pin.. after it's straight, solder the other corner pins,, now put flux across one side, use a beveled tip, put a gob of solder on the tip, now glide the tip down the side with the flux flat part cocked sideways a bit,, if you did it right you should have all the pins soldered just like factory or as close to it .. SMD parts(chip resistors,chip capacitors, diodes etc.) will pop into place with hot air if you put some flux on them
I'm a big adherent of learning by your mistakes! Last time I did electronics SMD was a futuristic sorcery, so it is a bit of a step change (only with worse eyesight). I'll get there. One mistake at a time.
3:31 This is about what I would expect if I tried this. It’s why the Good Lord gave us through hole. 👍
LOL, It is the future I am told!
I subscribed your channel , goodluck.
You have good content quality compared to your subscribers.
Good job and do keep going.
Cheers dude, appreciated.
