Thanks PCBWay for sponsoring this video - pcbway.com/g/RNs69K - Use this link for $5 new user free credit. There's a 1977 date code in here, so although the DM2 launched in 1975, I guess this one is closer to 47-48 years old, still, not bad! Wondering how you can support the channel?

What paste are you using?
Chipquik SMD291AXT4
I have the Saleae Logic Pro 8. I tried one of those cheap ones like what you first showed. I found it to be useless. Probably because it wasn't fast enough for my signal, but I can't remember now. The software for the Saleae is great. My only complaint is i didn't get the Logic Pro 16, although I really haven't needed more than 8 channels yet. I'm sure the day will come when I will.
The cheap one is good for ZX Spectrum speeds, but it doesn't default to the fastest sampling rate which I didn't realise until the second time I tried it
Is there a complete kit with part ? for some apparent reason I keep see the plain boards .
No you'll need to source the parts yourself
Hi dude, not seen you in a while. I`m just working on using an Arduino as a voltage sensor on ZX Spectrum so if they go out of spec an alarm will sound to protect the board. I have the 12 volt and 5 volt sensors sorted but can not find the minus voltage shield to measure the -5 volt rail. I did see it on UTube somewhere. Anyway. hope you ok and not picking up too much static off your moustache. :)
Could you just reverse the polarity when you hook up the minus 5? (Only half joking, I don't know)
Yep my desk look horrible
Cool gadget, but about $200 more than I'd past for one sadly.
One of the first times I saw the effects of a thermal camera was on the 80s film. Predator. I remember a scene where the Predator picked up a scorpion. An idea, maybe you could get a plastic toy scorpion and recreate that scene. Maybe heating up scorpion in warm water, before filming it
I want to buy this specifically to see where my cat was sleeping 5 minutes ago. She's not supposed to be on my bed...I've told her this several times now.
My cat tends to leave a circular imprint
Hi can this see hot water pipes running behind a plaster board (drywall) wall?
I can see mine, yes. There's a link in the description that I think applies a discount if you want one
Damn it, you’re making me rethink my need for a thermal imaging camera. I want that gadget :) Would a temperature sensor on the inside of a block of insulating foam be a good way to measure heat loss?
Good question, I'm no expert but I think that knowing the temperature on the inside and outside of your insulation would be a good indicator of its performance. If you decide to get one there's a link in the description that I think applies a discount (it seems to for me)
Considering the price! p2 is very good tech! Already in my shopping bag!
Use the link in the description if you can ;)
thats quite interesting! have some interest to get one for trying
Use the link in the description ;)
Lovely!

@5:32 I feel like having the ability to highlight the hottest or coldest area on the image is such a useful feature to have for troubleshooting electronics, I hope Thermal Master can add it in with an app update or something in the future.
It seems like an easy addition to make yes
Chuffin' Norah, that's expensive!
Been waiting for this one to drop! =D

Avalonia for the win! <3
I’m also new at this. Thanks for showing your process. It makes me feel so much better
Thanks that's nice to hear
Was a pretty nice solder job, until you forgot to add more flux when reflowing with solder iron.. the end joint on level converters is shitty. Nice project tho - will try to mill the pcb as I already have all other components.
Still learning ;)
Cool visual bri
nice - I bet if you run it at half speed it will look like a lava bath. Drop some ice cubes in there just for fun too.
Interface works very well. Smart, simple, easy and free. Set up into a rp2040 of two bucks (maybe less at chinese webstores sales). Up to upgrade when rp2 bugs fixed and improving. I2c protocols and SPI performerd like a charm. Nothing to say but thank you.
Really if you tests 40 years old capacitors in capacitance and ESR, you can see all are correct. The better things have a ZX Spectrum I think was the capacitors. It's not necessary remplace in general any one.
Nice DCDC mod. You can remplace 1mf capacitor connected to filter DC line of -5V with 10 or 22mf to filter better. And put a resistor and new capacitor to transistor TR4 on emitter with 22ohms and 10mf to protect it from short circuit. You are limiting current. I’m tested capacitors and in general, ESR and capacity are okey on spectrum circuits. You can increase capacity on capacitor for filter on DC DC and in general power lines. But. Really no need replace by bad function in general.the capacitors on zx spectrum boards are really with very good quality.
Just a good habit while connecting probes: always begin with ground.
Cheers!
V 1.2 has R14 and R20 and cannot find the value of them.
Have you checked out murmulator.ru?
@@HappyLittleDiodes Yes not very clear in there for V 1.2 and you - it does say no BOM for them but near same. So looks like work it out yourself.
Hi , does it have protocol decode ?
Have a scroll through the wiki it has some examples screenshots of what the software can do
@@HappyLittleDiodes thank you so much
@@thevoidedwarrantyyep. SPI, I2C n serial prtcol.
Is this the Paradise??😊😊😊
Oh Mummy on Spectrum tape! The Amstrad version was hardly earth-shattering, but the Spectrum version was truly awful! 😅

Welcome to Portugal! :) And btw, nice music!!
I would probably do a board like that with an iron and a spool of solder. If you're using paste, it can be useful to have a stensil. I wold also recommend a hot plate instead of hot air. The hot air can blow components around like you saw. It also struggles if there's big copper pours. Miniware makes a nice small and cheap one.
Nevermind. I didn't notice it was two sided. The hot plate won't work so well.
Hi, We don't have any problems with the latest Spectrum rebuilds, but me and the other half, would much prefer the old Speccy as it was back in 1982-1984. At 53, we were more than happy to accept it for what it was. Shimering screen, 48k of memory, only 8 colours (15 with BRIGHT command), and sound out of the arse end of a rubbery keyboard. The more people move forward, with modern rebuilds, the more of the "Traditional" Speccy gets left behind. Thanks for another great video. Wayne & Nina 😊😊😊😊😊🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
14:00 that top capacitor isn't soldered Did you get instructions on the headers? To me it feels more natural to have a male on the base board, to make the level shifter like a proper expansion board.
It's soldered it's just not centered. I only deviated from the BOM with the level shifter board header as I had already purchased probes with female connectors
Looks amazing as the kids say "Well Jell!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🥳🙌🌟👍💯😁👋⭐
That's some advanced lingo
So envious, have a great time 👍
Cheers!

Hi! Yet again, thanks for helping us with the Sinclair Multimeter repair 🫡🫡 Moving onto Sinclair ZX Spectrum micros, me and my other half, would rather stand by the original (out of Sinclair factories re-furbished by people like us) computers anytime. Why don't we try to keep Sinclair as original as possible? At 53, we just find that the modern idea of a Sinclair Spectrum, is an insult to the late Sir Clive, and as such will always fall short.
I prefer the originals too, but these are fun to build
⌨️
🎷
Thanks, those components are small, might need my glasses👓
Let us know how you get on
I managed to pick up lots of hints tips and tricks for SMD work from some of the youtube channels that deal with diagnosis / repair of more modern kit (such as Joey Does Tech, The Cod3r, Northridge Fix etc.). Even if you're not especially interested in what they are fixing, the techniques they use come in handy for this kind of stuff too.
This was fun. We finished treasure island dizzy! Must sort out my microphone settings
Good work. Thank you for making the effort to make these videos.
You're very welcome

When removing solder bridges try dragging in the direction of the pin instead of at right angles.
One tip for you: Keep your soldering iron tip clean! I mean sparkling clean. A dirty tip is an inefficient tip. Another tip for you: Refer to the Pico as a Pi Pico and not a Raspberry Pi! Totally different boards so the distinction is important. The Raspberry Pi is a single board computer. The Pi Pico is a microcontroller board.
Got it!
You can use a gumfix to position correctly in place connectors before soldering them. Sometimes I use painting tape too.
I think those keyboard adaptors are passive and only work with keyboards that are designed for USB and PS/2. You can get proper active adaptors, but I have found them to be hit and miss as well.
