Often, you'll see such projects featured on Hackaday etc. but more often that not, they just appear in the form of an announcement (or even "press release"), but without much further detail, much less an in-depth review. It's also quite easy to miss those Hackaday posts, unless you visit the website regularly. So having semi-frequent video reviews of interesting designs that show up there would definitely be something that I'd be interested in following!

The ESP32-C3 comes in different packages just like every other ESP, but it looks like the design you got called for the MINI. The WROOM exists as well, which is what I use, and it has a slightly larger footprint but has easy-to-solder pins just like all the other ones. Also, you forgot to mention one of the coolest parts of the ESP32-C3, it runs RISC-V cores instead of Xtensa cores, meaning compiler support is _way_ more plentiful compared to before

İf it fails again there is RX and TX pins on the board which are DC and RES pins of the LCD. You can also upload with FTDİ adapter. After the first upload (usb or ftdi doesn't matter) you can now upload anyway you want. Hope this comment helps someone

A simple yet effective tip for SMD reflowing is to use an old glass-ceramic cooktop. Set it to about medium heat, place the PCB on and watch the solder flow. Its how I do all my PCB projects at my dorm where I cant really use a soldering iron, due to smoke detectors, but I can use the kitchen XD. Works a treat, if you are careful with heating.

I made a similar comment above. But my idea might be a bit more involved 😁 There's a wonderful open-source SMU design that's been recently documented and released on eevblog and on KZbin by djErickson. Obviously a source measuring unit build would be a bit complex....but with the boards and parts all available, and the documentation so well done... He could definitely do it and make a video series on it. just be like assembling a complex kit... It's one of the only things I've never really seen many people tackle a DIY affordable option. A good and somewhat affordable source measure unit would really be a lifesaver to a lot of techs and Labs who can't afford the $5009-$10,000 asking price for the entry level units.

It might be time to look into small 3D printer heated beads to use to upgrade your reflow station. They come in larger sizes than credit cards and some of the smaller beds are only 120mm square. The ESP32 may be in a tiny package, you can still look to see if the communication pins, power, ground and USB are actually getting to the footprint. I would not doubt somewhere else in the circuit there is a problem that a microscope can not see properly that probing the pin contacts will let you find. I agree for what it is that 8/10 is appropriate marks especially with the power issue. It would be nice if you mentioned a potential upgrade, possibly as simple as a slide switch, as an alternative than always have a battery. Stay safe, stay creative.

When using a hot plate and/or hot air, I recommend putting some thermal vias in the pads under ICs to help with heat flow. Via-in-pad comes with its own issues, such as the need to find a balance between needing a bit more solder paste while not bridging, but it’s often the _least bad thing_. Shrinking the pads* under the ESP32 can also help reduce bridging, which I suspect may have been the root cause of the board failure in this video. Just a guess. * Or if you want to get fancy, shrink only the stencil (paste layer).
@nimoy0072 жыл бұрын
Not sure that shrinking the stencil would help since the solder would spread anyway, but otherwise I agree.

@@a1nelson Actually, nevermind, you're right. That totally makes sense on second thought, because you're just trying to prevent large quantities on the pad, not keep it from spreading. Also, I know the personal pain of soldering QFP ICs and cooking them. Then, you've got the opposite issue for SMDs connected to large ground planes, where thermal breaking makes a huge difference for reducing the heatsinking.

WATCH these SMD resistor cuttings from rolls. Just had an Alie assortment that had clearly a print of 103 on them, but the were all 51 Ohm. I placed this message yesterday under this video, this morning it was gone. I will try again.

You could have got JLCPCB to fit the surface mount components for you. Then you would have 2 working boards.....

Hello GreatScott!, what do you think to use an Atmega32u4 instead of an Atmega328p? Would be the characteristics almost the same or would it be a big difference?

Hey GreatScott, what is the difference between the Fnb48 and the FNB48s usb power meter? I have the fnb48, and my fnb48 looks identical to your fnb48s!
