This probably WON'T have a short circuit... right??

[@RiverTechJess]

I hope you like this sensor update. I still don't know if it really works (I'll figure it out another day) but I think I've made a lot of progress!!! I'm actually pretty happy that I've been able to figure this all out myself:D Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions! xxx Jess

[@Jdlikefood]

It's really cool to see the progress on your sensor! I don't know a ton about RTC's, so I can't offer much advice there, but I would recommend using a breadboard and some jumper wires instead of soldering and de-soldering. It will make prototyping much quicker and easier, and will save you from a lot of frustration.

It is really cool to see the progress on your sensor! nice !

[@hbmm1]

Love it!! Keep up the good work! Keep the updates coming! I find this stuff so fascinating 🤩

[@engboy69]

I just wanted to say that I love following your channel, I am a third year biomedical engineering student myself. Its cool to see what someone with a bit more experience is doing!

[@shannahbrown]

Love watching you build your sensor. I’m learning so much myself as I am also experimenting with arduino- except I’m using the uno.

[@RiverTechJess]

Ah nice!!! Then we’re figuring it out together:D Do you think I’m clear in my video and the logic behind my decisions is clear? Or should I explain more

[@hansisbrucker813]

I still have an uno somewhere that I haven't touched in years 😳

[@pradumnkumar]

The way you keep your nano, it makes my heart sulk.

[@RiverTechJess]

Noooo why???

[@pradumnkumar]

@@RiverTechJess tip: "listening" to a short circuit is a horrible plan :D There are two kinds of short circuit, 1 which will fry your board which you can listen / smell and watch. 2. Short circuit between data pins which will not result in any hardware damage but will corrupt the data you wish to require from your sensor. (Say two d2 and d4 are short circuited, and you are reading output off of d2, whenever d4 goes LOW ( completely separate operation) it will in turn set d2 to LOW as well) What you need is a multimeter and use it for testing any possible short circuit after every soldering. Good luck

[@hcplsmf]

Thank god you’re showing these videos. I’m actually learning stuff lmao

[@ingframin]

Jess, you can protect your Arduino from wrong power connection by putting a diode in series to your red (+ battery) wire.

[@paulaxford6754]

I would have thought you could collaborate with an EE so you could focus on the sensor integration, calibration and watertight / low-cost packaging? I used to do mechanical design for animal tracking tags. The weirdest ones were for a walrus, which was clamped to the tooth with hose clamps and one for a polar bear which was inserted into the ear.

Yes, sometimes it takes a long time to build something but the key is to never give up! XD ... The most challenging thing I ever built from a software perspective was a motion detection camera to detect crows - from an electronics perspective the most difficult thing was a Nixie Tube clock (where I designed the circuit board) I need to get back to doing some of that stuff, it's been awhile.

[@RiverTechJess]

that's way more complicated but still sounds like a fun challenge! I'm slowly making my way there, I'd love to be able to dedicate more time to it

[@schr4nz]

@@RiverTechJess it was, and it was fun too :) I think a huge problem for a lot of people is that initially there's a fear of the unknown, when in reality all you're doing is solving little steps one at a time until you get to the outcome... great job btw.. also, future suggestions for your sensor: miniature solar panels (individual solar cells can be very cheap) to charge a small Li-Ion battery which would allow the device to continue for longer periods of time without interruption

[@RiverTechJess]

Ah cool! Ya maybe in the future. I have a bunch of different prototypes in my head (e.g. one with a power button and no RTC) but first I want to get 1 working properly:)

[@TM-it5oe]

I really appreciate your efforts in building up your sensor.Soldering by hand is more of an artwork than sciencea and you did a terrific job in soldering the wires to the very close headers however, it confounds me that why would you not want to hook up the connections using the (female-to-male/female-to-female) jumpers and choose to solder instead?Besides,jumpers come in beautiful ribbons and are not messed up so easily .Or Is it because, you don't want to use rely on jumpers since, they are sometimes loose in connection ,leading to a fault and are difficult to spot while debugging the circuit?

[@PradeepKumar-oi9od]

You live now which country

[@shakhaninja]

Question from an engineering student! Why would not soldering properly cause a short circuit? I thought that would cause an open circuit Also: great video, you're very articulate in the way you explain things. You earned a sub 👍

[@ingframin]

If the tin percolates, you can short 2 pins together or have drops on the board short-circuiting random tracks on the PCB

[@shakhaninja]

@@ingframin ah that makes sense, thanks!!

[@MooonBat]

Hi guys Can i know where i can study biomedical engineering with a scholarship

[@hbmm1]

AbD rreZaK I’m going to biomedical engineering and transferring to UTD I would check there. They have an awesome biomedical engineering program!

[@MooonBat]

Hailey Bree Which country is it and does it provides a scholarship And who can help me get there

[@hbmm1]

AbD rreZaK it’s in the United States in Texas. they offer several scholarships! I can send you the website for the school

[@MooonBat]

Hailey Bree Yes please Thank u

[@akifsaygin]

Take it easy 😏

[@RiverTechJess]

thanks! you too!

[@alaadamfree]

[@justinbermarasigan3980]

Hi do you have a twitter account?

[@danielstandley-Physicist]

You will learn more when something doesn't work

[@RiverTechJess]

Learning the hard way😹

[@paulokiryuu]

1 video per week is fine.

[@RiverTechJess]

Awesome!

[@pradumnkumar]

I can teach you a few stuff about Arduino, IDE and other stuff super fast..

[@RiverTechJess]

Thank for the offer but I like figuring things out myself;)

[@pradumnkumar]

@@RiverTechJess alright, I did nothing but work around sensors and controllers my entire uni life, i.e. till May of this year.
