Very nice. Love the intro! I would imagine that there will also be slight voltage losses in the cable by the time it reaches the C64, especially under load. The Bwack savers I fitted inside some of my C64s seemed to cut out at around 5.43v. The Carlson savers I bodged together from random mis-matched scrap parts seemed to do about the same (lol) but, apparently can drift with temperature so are not so great to put inside the machine. Keep it up.

Great video and fantastic soldering! Has anyone ever just placed a 7805 inline with the power supply? Does that protect the C64 sufficiently? I’m assuming it would at least not cut the voltage suddenly.
@MindFlareRetro
@MindFlareRetro 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Josh. Thanks for commenting. Interesting question. I have never seen a 7805 used inline with the power supply. Having said that, the 7805 require a minimum input voltage of around 7V, so one would have to know that their PSU was way out of spec and outputting a very high voltage before connecting a 7805. Although, in line with your thinking, I have seen a UBEC (a little step-down converter device) used in out-of-spec PSUs -- there's a video somewhere on KZbin IIRC. I think UBECs require a slightly lower input voltage than a 7805 and they do not get as hot..

One question, your BOM has links to 1/4 watt resistors but in the video you stated you are using 1/8 watt. I ordered some of these board and they are very tiny. There is no way that 1/4 resistors will physically fit, I have tested a 1/8 watt and it does fit. Unless I am reading something wrong from your BOM links, you may want to change it to point to 1/8 watt resistors.
@MindFlareRetro

Hi Mike. Nice catch, as I did misspeak in the video. The BOM is correct -- these are the exact parts I ordered and used. I selected Stackpole Electronics resistors because they are rated at 1/4W and have small dimensions, 0.070" Dia x 0.130" L (1.78mm x 3.30mm). My first order (used in the video) were from Arrow.com, and I have a very recent order of the same resistors from DigiKey and they are the same. You would be good to go with those resistors.

I used to have a Hakko FX-888D, which is a great tool, but I found that I wanted something that I could quickly swap out tips on easily in the middle of a soldering session and the FX-951 allows me to do that. That said I couldn't justify the price of that upgrade until a local electrons supply place had a crazy Hakko sale so I pulled the trigger and sold my FX-888D to recoup some of the cost.

Hey Tony!!! Welcome! Thanks for commenting. Haha, yes, bluetac is everyone's friend at the bench. Unfortunately, the #CommodoreCookie giveaway has ended. However, the creator, Josh (also in 🇨🇦), has provided a 25% coupon code. I am not sure what the cost would be for postage to the UK, though. 🍪 Retro Computer Themed Cookie Cutters --- bit.ly/RetroCookieCutters 👉 25% DISCOUNT CODE (valid through May 31, 2020) --- MFR

Hi Matthew. How's it going. Thanks for commenting. Just a heads up, I will be using a utility to search for the hashtag shown in the video, so be sure to edit your comment and omit the space. 😉
