Normally, I never watch an entire tutorial video, but in this one, I was as focused as if I were watching a very catchy movie! I didn't know much about soldering and had skipped through a few videos before. While planning my Vero Board layout, I already watched your other video, which was very useful and informative! Again, this video helped me a lot, and I feel ready for my first soldering session! Keep on making such great content! But I'm curious-did you intentionally misplace the cable for Pin 1 to show us how to fix such things? If so, that's a clever move!

Wow - Thank you for your very kind comments! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. I intend to make some more very soon and your feedback is very encouraging. Regarding the error on pin 1 - that was actually a genuine mistake but I am glad it happened because it gave me an opportunity to show how to fix it and also to show that anyone can make a mistake - not just beginners!

What temperature is your soldering iron set at? What is the diameter of the solder? Why didn't you use a soldering paste before soldering? You can tell I'm new to the hobby. Thank you! I've learned a lot! Greetings from Chicago! Cheers, mate!
@teksparkz 24 күн бұрын
The soldering iron I use in the video is made by Antex and is one of the 25 watt models. The tip is 2.3mm in size and the temperature is around 370 to 390 degrees celcius. I use leaded solder because I find it easier to work with but if you are using lead free solder the soldering iron temperature should be about 400 degrees C. I didn't use solder paste or Flux because the solder wire usually comes with some inside it. Applying a little extra Flux to the copper strip first can make things a little easier though. Always make sure the copper is clean and shiny before attempting to solder otherwise you may find it hard to get the solder to stick to it. You can use a pencil eraser to clean the strip board first before you solder if it is looking a bit dull. Have fun!

Why is it necessary to change the date and time after replacing the cmos battery. I replaced the battery today. I was getting the same error. then I booted up my windows. The internet fixed my date and time automatically. I shutdown the pc and restarted..went to bios..the bios time and date changed too. And the error was fixed.

Good question. You are right and often will find that this is the case but it is possible that not all operating systems will automatically update the clock via the Internet and some users may not be able to connect to the internet until they have the network card drivers installed.

What are suitable wires for projects like this? I always used ethernet UTP cables in the past. They are easy to cut by accident (now i have better wire stri per), they heat up fast and insulation can easily melt which makes them literally painful to use. Also half of wires is white cause color band may be at the wrong side.
@teksparkz 3 ай бұрын
Hi @pavelperina7629, I use 0.26 mm² Equipment Wire, 23 AWG, 1/0.6 mm with a solid core. For wires that need to be able to bend without breaking too easily I use 22AWG stranded wire instead of the solid core wire. I like the way you use UTP though - Great way to recycle bits of old cable. Hope that helps

How to connect ammeter on stripboard ??
@teksparkz 4 ай бұрын
Good question! In order to measure current the ammeter has to become a part of the circuit - i.e. current has to be able to flow through it. So you would have to take out one of the jumper wires and connect the ammeter in its place. Once you have measured the current you can then replace the jumper wire. Not as convenient as solderless breadboard but possible.

I hate using Veroboard, but I have been using it for 50+ years. Prior to that I used tag board, valves, and a bunsen-burner-heated lump of metal that was called a soldering iron (Dad used this to build wirelesses in the '50s, and a TV in the early '60s). What I want is a module in KiCAD or equivalent that would produce the perforating and wiring diagram.

Your solder looks a little chunky. I use 0.032" (0.8mm) or anything near 1mm. You get more control over the solder and 0.1" (2.5mm) spacing. I did a circuit using a breadboard layout stripboard 3 power rails, 5 pin vertical, 2 pin centre vertical, and cut away the bottom side as I was using MOSFETs and not ICs, so, extra board was not required. It was a RGB MOSFET controller as the micro-controller cap around 40mA and each LED pulls 20mA and it was a Race Drone triple 5050 LED strip. Power requirements jumped from 60, 120, 180mA depending on colour activation (White to Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta). Board was 1" x 1.5" with 16 passives, 12 jumpers, 6 MOSFETs, 3 headers, or 86 of the 150 holes used. Your design 2" x 1.5" with 6 passives, 6 jumpers, BJT(optional), Timer IC was spaced out quite a bit, or 37 of 300 holes used. I may have shrunk it down to quarter of the size. You can stand resistors up or run them diagonally, plus cut some strips to make a tighter design like on a limited breadboard. You are building simple design but I would not want to buy the plastic project box to toss it into. Size is money in the hobby.
@teksparkz 5 ай бұрын
Yes you are right, 0.8mm gives more control but I didn't do too bad a job with the 1.2mm solder all the same ;-). That project you built sounds cool - you did a great job of reducing it down to a really small size. I could have done something similar but I wanted to keep the design relatively simple as the video is really aimed at beginners. I think that once people get the hang of the technique they will probably realise they can reduce the size down a bit more themselves, but thanks for the tip!

Hi shader26, the view we have in DIYLC is the view looking down on the top surface of the board i.e. the side of the board we put the components on. It can be confusing because the copper strips are shown. You would not normally be able to see these because they would be on the underside of the board, but they are shown in DIYLC so that you can see which way they are aligned (horizontal in this case). Imagine the board is made of glass and you can see the copper strips on the other side. Hope that helps.

@teksparkz 6 ай бұрын
Hi James, DIYLC is not that well known yet so some antivirus programs may treat the installer file with suspicion which is normal. This often happens with software created by small independent developers. I have installed it on several computers running both Windows 10 and Windows 11 and I have been using it for a few years at this stage. So far I haven't had any issues with it (as far as I know), but as I did not create the software I wouldn't be in a position to give any guarantees as to whether it is malware free.
