great tutorial! just wanted to mention(since i solder for a living) that it's easier to solder the lowest parts first, like jumpers, diodes and resistors, then move upwards in height( IC sockets, caps and other taller components). just thought about mentioning it( although this is an old video) because it makes soldering a whole lot easier for beginners and pros. this way you ensure a great connection, and the parts will sit straight on the pcb everytime. thanks for all the great info you are putting out! appriciate your work!

[@NotesAndVolts]

Thanks for the tips Niklas!

[@The-Nil-By-Mouth]

Very good set of tutorials. Thank you - I was looking for something like this to move my projects on to proto PCBs

[@ShahZahid]

holy crap i remember watching this video like 6 years ago when i got into Arduino and it just got recommended to me again my god the nostalgia

[@NotesAndVolts]

Nice!

[@GringoXaba]

Add female headers to all the pins to essentially turn it into a development board. Also you can take an old ethernet cable and use the wires inside if you don't want to buy any!

[@NotesAndVolts]

Thanks Ryan! Good tips.

[@SpriceMachines]

YOU RULE

[@alanbrown4275]

Great Video, Very Well Explained.

[@edgeeffect]

It's easier if you solder on your components in order of height... lowest first.

[@NotesAndVolts]

Thanks EE! Good tip

[@kimmiesrhythms]

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@owendistefano6715]

Can you try avoiding I believe it was green as your common? I am colourblind so I could not tell the difference between common and voltage with the green wire. Other wise this is a great tutorial

[@bob-ny6kn]

Hi Owen. This is the future calling. :) Can you recommend methods to aid colorblind? I am interested. I worked in the electronics world for a few decades, and colorblindness was a reason for dismissal. So many brilliant people were dismissed for this. Thanks.

[@stspringer2003]

Excellent video

[@Rising_Pho3nix_23]

How would I go about setting this board up for direct programming? I want to build my own Arduino board, complete with the ability to plug it into a computer and programming it directly. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.

[@compedium]

thx for making this

[@mc-ec3bu]

What happened to the 'L' in solder? and how do you pronounce Soldier ?.

[@NotesAndVolts]

I think it's hanging out with the 'L' in salmon :)

[@mc-ec3bu]

@@NotesAndVolts Well tn that case Sodit then.

[@AS-os3lj]

Thank you so much!

[@NotesAndVolts]

You're welcome!

[@HobkinBoi]

For this, its useful. But im excluding the whole power stage of the build. Mine is just going to run straight off a 5v boost converter.

[@sb-rj6yb]

I think i wont need any other programmer, i can do it while chip is on arduino and simply use it to the new design..right..? will it work..?

[@erfut]

Thank you

[@sam35696]

many thank's to you.

[@ThoriumHeavyIndustries]

Those proto-boards costing per piece the same as full arduino nano v3 with ATMega328. Can I use those instead?

[@jpsalis]

If I wanted to do the same with an SMD microcontroller (later down the line), I assume i'd need a development board or breakout board of some kind until I ordered a PCB of sime kind right? Is there any option for surface-mount prototyping?

[@noahdropkin1162]

Great video

[@NotesAndVolts]

Thanks Noah!

[@jnicoulakos]

I liked your video, and did like the added note about using different color wire. Is there a standard color code in digital electronics?

[@NotesAndVolts]

+John Cat Hi John. I'm sure there are some standards somewhere but none that I am familiar with. I tend to use red for positive voltage, green or black for ground, and blue for data signals. It depends what wire I have in stock at the time :)

[@nicx321]

Rebel using Yellow and Blue wire for ewerything....

[@NotesAndVolts]

nicx321 Haha! Livin' on the edge

[@jacobstromburg5803]

By "the last example" are you refering to the Arduino on a Breadboard video?

[@MrBobWareham]

I don't see an insulator under the crystal metal can?

[@jumbo999614]

Anyone knows the size of the solder he used in this video? I find 1.2mm is too thick which makes it hard to solder.

[@StuartWilson4d]

hello! I am trying to build the auduino synth you have on but am having trouble figuring out some of the parts you are using. is there anychance you could give me a full list of components I think inhave almost everything but am missing a couple parts.

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi Stuart. Check out the article on my website www.notesandvolts.com/2014/07/build-auduino-granular-synth-part-1.html

[@StuartWilson4d]

I found this I couldn't find all the parts because They are spread out on other videos. I know have the synth working! So excited!

[@sujjwal007]

As show in your video, you make a parmanent circuit, if we want change the programe without removing IC , is it posible ?

[@thecyberben]

Hi, nice vid. thx for your work! Any chance of seeing a picture of the back of the board?

[@NotesAndVolts]

Thanks! There's a shot of the back at 5:25 of the vid.

[@thecyberben]

Notes and Volts Sorry i was not clear. I was looking for a picture of the underside of the finished version. Im done with the initial soldering now I am attempting to understand which and how the relative points connect. Literally my first project.

[@thecyberben]

+unitron Ah, the beauty of the AdaFruit Perma Proto bread board....took me awhile..... these tutorials are awesome!

[@khalilburno9713]

You Super Awesome ........Thank you

[@NotesAndVolts]

Thanks Khalil!

[@MrJoza159]

really good tutorial, but what if i want to use usb to power it, not to program it or samething else but just to power the project ?

[@NotesAndVolts]

+Josip Sovina Hi Josip. You can take 5 volts and ground from a usb connector and bypass the regulator.

[@donaldklopper]

9V straight through? No buck converter to bring it down to 5V?

[@NotesAndVolts]

The 7805 handles that.

[@MRTz_music]

dose it also work with a 8Mhz crystal?

[@AndrewCubacub]

Sir! If I will add the usb plug then where should I put that?

[@toyd3sert434]

where did you get the chip socket?

[@abbasuleiman3912]

i build this circuit it works but i have been having trouble with lcd display anyone had similar problem

[@jhaybielvillamora7481]

good day sir. may i know what is the wire connected to Atmega pin 5 for? i saw that it was paired with a wire connected to the ground. what is that for? thanks :)

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi Jhaybiel. You caught me! Haha. The orange wire on pin 5 that is visible in the intro of the video is actually part of a Ardino Synth project that will be the focus of my next video. I used footage from that video when I realized I had no interesting footage shot for the intro of this vid. Please disregard it for now.

[@ChrisLeeW00]

Would this board work for the nav-1 synth? I may have to change the layout a bit?

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi Christopher. These types of protoboards are great for smaller circuits but perhaps not the most efficient for a larger layout like the NaV-1. I think that even with the largest model it may take up at least two boards.

[@geordiemcclelland6176]

Can it not run off 5v? Great vid, subscribed :) planning on making the synth

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi RP, thanks for subscribing! If the 5v adapter is regulated (switching type) it would work. If not, bad things could happen. I prefer to design things with the regulator attached so it can handle the different types of wall warts that people may use.

[@geordiemcclelland6176]

Ok, thanks for the reply!

[@hakalamax]

Hi! Which is the model or the characteristics of the power regulator you use in the video?

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi hakalamax. it's a LM7805 - 5V regulator.

[@nelsonlee9049]

All online tutorial including arduino.cc uses DC power supply with center positive pin (2.1mm). Why do you choose a center negative pin?

[@KashifJavedForex]

watch video again. Because his power supply adapter jack has negative at center.

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi Nelson. You can use either type of supply. Just make sure you wire your jack correctly. It's always a good idea to check with a multimeter.

[@pamfilaki]

can i hook up a usb hub to this permanent arduino system with maybe a usb to serial or any other components in order to connect in to the arduino ide?

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi Pamfilaki you could do that by adding a USB to Serial breakout board. But that kind of defeats the purpose which is to have a minimal circuit to run arduino code in your finished project. If you need to reprogram the circuit you may want to add a 6 pin ISP socket.

[@RyanStokes4GOVFL]

What enclosures would be best for this project?

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi Ryan. Anything will work. You can use some standoffs to connect the perma-proto to the enclosure using the holes in the board.

[@SuperApple1337]

If the chip is already loaded with a working code, do I still have to add this whole circuit to my project circuit on the perfboard?

[@NotesAndVolts]

You can leave out the power regulator if you are sure you will be powering the circuit with a REGULATED 5 volt supply. If you power source is unregulated or higher than 5 volts -- BANG!!!

[@SuperApple1337]

Thanks for your time. I guess I still need everything else, right?

[@anirudhtehawesum3515]

Is it possible to make it with Atmega8L-8PU instead of 328P?

[@NotesAndVolts]

+Anirudh The Awesome Not without modification of crystal, fuses, and program.

[@flash109]

Does anyone sell something like this, presoldered with a chip socket, smaller components, and more efficient layout that doesn't mimic a breadboard? I get that this is for beginners, but I'm trying to make the leap from hobbyist to selling a product. I need something as small as possible with terminals or thru holes. Seems like this would exist somewhere. I also get that the Arduino is a pretty standard setup for programming a microchip, but I don't know where to look.

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi JR. If you are planning to make a marketable product out of your circuit it would be best to design a custom PCB and have a batch manufactured. If you do it in bulk you can get the cost down to 1-2$ per board depending on the complexity.

[@flash109]

Thanks so much for the response! I get what you're saying, but I just hate to spend time reinventing the wheel especially since I would be climbing a learning curve that I don't really need. So you're saying there's no product that is essentially an Arduino that nixes the surface mounted power jack and USB and provides thru holes or terminals for the I/O's and power?

[@udaykarthikeya]

JR Olive No , olive , there is no such arduino as you said , but you can make one using jlcpcb or pcbway !

[@yatanik]

will it beahave in the same as the arduino works which will be the guiding software

Hi Raj. This circuit has all the functionality of an Arduino UNO. The only thing it is missing is the USB section.

yellow and black cable is for?...tq

[@NotesAndVolts]

HI videoazri. Those wires are actually for another project. When i finished this video I forgot to record footage for the intro. By the time I remembered, I had started adding parts for the next project. I thought no one would notice LOL!

[@NotesAndVolts]

Hi Kevin. It's my own song soundcloud.com/notes-and-volts/video-bgm-3-chord

[@charlesbrewer6552]

At 7:54 minutes you said the center pin should be negative. On the arduino.cc web site:- (playground.arduino.cc/Learning/WhatAdapter), as at the 7th May 1915, they say the center pin is positive! ??????????? Who is correct ? I don't want to blow anything up.

[@NotesAndVolts]

Charles Brewer Hi Charles. Since we are wiring our own circuit you can use either a center negative or center positive adapter. When you wire the jack to the board, just make sure that the terminal that connects to the negative part of the adapter goes to the ground rail on the board and the positive wire goes to the location mentioned in the video. Check with a multi-meter to be sure.

[@tomaspilny8320]

What voltage regulator does it use ?

[@NotesAndVolts]

LM7805

[@udaykarthikeya]
