Design Tips for Electronics Enthusiasts

[@Kato414]

As an engineering student who is typically very practical but loves good design, I can say that this is a subject that has too little coverage. I'm designing an aluminum case for an RPi, and when I look for tips, I find either one or the other end of the spectrum. Ben's got a very unique (and valuable) combination of skills, thanks for sharing!

[@RealDealHolyfield2099]

This video is solid gold! A great condensed video chalk full of great tips. It's refreshing to take a step back sometimes with some general concepts.

[@unamaxify]

well too cold doesn't actually kill it, but there may be issues with condensation so include one of those anti humidity packets (that look like salt bags from restaurants) in the box of the Pi, and secure it with double-sided sticky tape on the inside of the box without it touching the electronics. Those anti humidity packets usually are included with electronic gadget shipping, or buy it on-line as Silica Gel Packets

9:49 Get yourself a Catweasle MK4 from Individual Computers. If you ever find a disk that is not supported send it to Jens to get it added. :)

[@SachiWI]

Thanks for that new episode of building an enclosure without all that expensive fancy CNC machines :)

[@unamaxify]

Well you can get a vehicle heater that uses a tiny amount of the car's fuel (or special ethanol mixture) to heat up the engine-block fuel tank and fuel pipes. I have one that works down to -50°C

[@FlameSoulis]

I would have actually mentioned Pepakura. I've made some good cases with that oddly enough. Good for prototyping.

[@littleBitsElectronics]

That green ghost makes me nostalgic for an old ghost light-up game I had as a kid.

[@nickhughes1067]

BEN I HAVE YET TO SEE YOU DO SOMETHING WITH THE PS VITA. Do a speaker mod or led lights in the shoulder buttons.

[@MartinPaoloni]

Great tips. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@bmwzc]

Next weeks episodes gonna be great

[@ElGeFe]

You get a like just for the announcement about the next episode. I only have access to very simple tools and very crappy work areas, so your next video should give me some good ideas. This video was really great, I usually do too many things on the fly, which results in having to redo many of them. I'm gonna try to follow the advice.

[@smooooth_]

I bet ben probably types the description himself, and puts his name in third person ironically

[@SMAAAASHTV]

Imperial and US Standard are not always exactly the same, for example an imperial ton is 2240 pounds while the US Standard (Short) Ton is 2000 pounds all while the Metric Tonne is 2204 pounds. The UK Weights and Measures Act of 1824, which introduced the standard of using imperial units, came much after the US became independent.

[@cobnelson]

I was wondering if you could make a portable gamecube. Remove things you don't need make it smaller get a screen and make a case. Then put it all together.

[@NT3C]

Thanks for this video ben! This should help me out quite a bit.

[@maxkell99]

This guy was in the credits for mw2? That's awesome what did you do for them

[@vg17461]

I like the idea with no fancy machines, i want to make cool stuff like this, but i'm very limited by my dremel and hand files.

[@davidlem45]

HE MENTIONED BLENDER I LOVE IT

[@unamaxify]

the raspberry pi is qualified for temperatures from 0 to 70°C for car components it's usually required to be able to withstand -20 to 105°C So depending on where you live you might destroy your Pi if you let it cook in the parking lot on a hot summerday

[@FutureInventions]

BEN FOR PRESIDENT! This man is my idol.

[@kf7tkj]

Ben, this video was great and very informative.

[@gypaetusbarbatus4791]

I was wondering if one of your next build could be a gameboy mod, I thought of something like a gameboy advanced sp, Made to look like the first gen kanto pokedex.

[@starizowid]

Can't wait ben

[@Uniquez0Smarty]

Good work bro I needed this Ben :)

[@Hungry_Box]

With breadboard hole spacing, you converted 0.1" imperial to 2.54" metric. Think you meant 2.54mm metric.

[@logan_kes]

I use Inventor to 3d print and auto cad for templates

[@Groden42]

at 12.05 there is a pin stand over your right sholder. where could i find the plans for that?

[@Uniquez0Smarty]

Thank you Ben I so need tht next tutorial of yrs

[@dipsht131]

these were great tips

[@Collin326C]

ben, please build a multi rotor copter. like a quad copter please!

[@TheDutyPaid]

You should be able to work in both. Like a 5.75 drive bay on a PC tower is not know as a 14.60500 drive bay.

[@devanmetz]

What kind of soldering iron do you use and what kind of solder

[@TheAurgelmir]

by the way Autodesk 123D Design is more a stripped down version of Autodesk Fusion 360.

[@Imakeweirdstuff]

I have a slight memory of an episode where Ben shows how to make drawings in illustrator? Anyone knows what episode that is?

[@gaming-zombie1392]

Much Love for your vids...

[@nickthebrick141]

Hey Ben, my names Nick and I would apreciate it if you make a tutorial for a pipboy 3000 iPhone case or iPod case that works thanks, have a nice day

[@FaytxZenAMV]

Sweet deal, keep up the awesome videos

[@pastpianist]

It would be really awesome to do electronics tutorials for the very beginner

[@LopezfsS]

You should make a head tracking device using parts from the wii

[@lanceseidman]

Make a good video on perfboarding!

[@Pontoondude]

Very helpful

[@canadabearrj]

The infos in this Video are mostly OK, only in the Part of how to make the sketch for the 3D-Model, Ben says you should draw as most as possible in the Sketch. Thats absolutly wrong, make the sketches as easy as possible and make sure that they are fully dimensioned. Then it is easier if you have change something

[@mahmudaaktar1048]

Please post video unlimited generator design mini size

[@BR.]

I wish I saw this two years ago before I designed my mixer PCB which looks like crap in an enclosure :)

[@kylefrazier9131]

How did you learn all you know about electronics

[@Zaekk]

It gets colder than -20 C where I live...

[@JS-gu7fw]

What course should i get if i want to do that things.

[@Kennnn264]

Ben, why not make a slim tablet?

[@Furby_assassin]

Why don't you have a vaccum former ben? I want to build one. Maybe you can build one first.

[@Equals1HandsomeHost]

The metric system is by far more accurate and is more used in the rest of the world

[@BehrouzKashkar]

can you make a shield for regular cellphone lcds?

[@TheeAbstractHero]

Ben you should make a car pc with a raspberry pi!

[@futuredevicies]

can u build a car connected to a boat that is remote control

[@TheDutyPaid]

For the pinball it be better to use RGBW LED's

[@AllHailBacon]

Try making a rasberry pi, arduino or somekind of linux tablet

[@thedausthed]

Having tried to design simple speaker boxes with it, I can safely say it is a load of crap. With things like rounding errors to a crazy glitching camera that will zoom out from your object a very, very long way in the blink of an eye, sketchup should be avoided like the plague.

[@mitchellscales8846]

who did your opening voice

[@unamaxify]

you can kill IC's with heat even when they're switched off, are you going to design a secondary control unit to control the fan while the car is parked & Pi is turned off ? besides if the sun heated up the air, moving it around with a fan won't have much of a colling effect anyway. It is an issue, technical specifications for car electronics are there for a reason, but go right ahead ignore reason in favor for bravado, what do i care if you wreck your stuff.

[@NerdNordic]

"The width of the screw plus a little more" Well no shit mr sherlock! xD

[@danhan1072]

BLENDAH!!!

[@Zaekk]

You have to put heating blankets on cars once it gets under -30C or so, they just plain old won't start. :

[@ththodge7]

Hi Ben!

[@unicodefox]

What's the song at 3:20

[@swehunter2000]

Can you please put metric measurements on the screen for the rest of the world?

[@MixedTacticsGamer]

How so?

[@xXUberAllesXx]

Use a converter

[@hackernoobtutorials]

ben is illuminati confirmed look 0:54 on score

[@Kuroi]

and he did! \o/

[@BLOODBATHDAVID]

car pc with raspberry pi!!

[@qwiksquirrel]

It's not about it being hard. It's about simplifying workflow wherever possible. And honestly it makes me somewhat sad when I see the use of imperial measurements on this show. Metric is the industry standard because it is simpler and more accurate.

[@lowcee89]

When will 'MERICA finally see that the metric system is the future? Engineer will know ...

[@onwul]

If metric values get rounded when converted to imperial ones, and thats causing problem, then why not to just design and measure in metric values, and then read metric labels, not imperial ones... problem solved.

[@TylerWrightProgrammer]

I think he built the quad copter without the CNC and 3D Printer

[@ColeslawProd]

You can't just calculate it?

[@jackrabad12]

why dont you make a robot Butler

[@Arif-nr4mt]

Can you help me with this

[@mehdimahdi1175]

there is a long range xBees (10 miles) really ??

[@PhilippBlum]

Yehh USA just use the metric system :D

[@nickthebrick141]

From the game fallout

[@NearooSasquatch]

I love you. ;)

[@paramveerpanwar8455]

thanks for Inkscape

[@0xffox]

also FreeCAD

[@Hamster_90901]

could you put a raspberry pi in to a PSP like so ben could see

[@xXDeltaXxwhotookit]

1" = 25.4mm ;)

[@TeamRetroWorld]

I want your job... so much.
