How to download and install Virtualbox on Windows 10
Does work with 3v as well? 🤔 I do have some Christmas LEDs lights who does work with 2AA batteries...But they stai on all the time...i want to make them flashing...
Good question - as far as I know the 555 timer needs a minimum of about 4.5 volts to work properly so I would say you would need to use a higher voltage power supply than 3 volts.
There is however a 555 chip that can run on 2 volts called the TLC555 - might be a possible solution...
A quick tip... Jumper wires on the component side of the board do not need to be insulated. I often use the trimmings from component leads as jumpers.
It is not a common approach, these days, but when I learned to solder on PCBs we did things a little differently. Back in the day, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, we would insert the component lead through the hole, then trim it about 2 to 3 wire diameters above the surface. Next, we would form the lead so that it was pressed tight against the copper trace. The reason for this approach is that components are all physically engaged with the board, allowing all solder joints to be made in a single step. I personally think the result is a bit more rugged too. The disadvantage of such an approach is that if a component needs to be removed, it is mechanically held in place and takes more effort than just de-soldering.
Good video. Thank you very much.
Thanks - You are very welcome!
Wow. Very informative video. Thank you very much.
Excellent instruction. Thank you.
Really great tutorial thank you very much
You're very welcome!
Thanks chap, excellent tutorial. This cropped up when I was watching soldering tips videos, the YT algorithm was kind to me for once! I shall download this tomorrow and watch this video in full.
Thanks @adamhaycroft5610 - Great to hear!
Great tutorial. At 32:50 my first guess for the problem was the alligator clip shorting rows A-C. And I prefer Solder wick (or braid) over the solder sucker.
Well spotted regarding the alligator clip! Yes solder braid can be very useful at times.
What is the name of the blue wire you use?
Hi @blueeye699 - the blue wire in DIYLC is called jumper wire and it is shown just under the hookup wire in the side menu. The actual type of wire I use to make the circuit has the following specifications: 0.26 mm² Hook Up Wire, 23 AWG, 1/0.6 mm, with PVC Insulation. AWG stands for American Wire Grade - The larger the number the thinner the wire is - in this case it is 23 AWG. In Europe the type of wire is called 1/0.6 which means one single strand (or solid) with a thickness of 0.6mm.
I am lucky I found this video because I have the same computer as yours , I put on the CMOS battery then I just turned on the computer directly and it kept turning on and off and giving the same warnings till it was turned on , now I just set the time in the BIOS system and restarted my computer , it should be fine right now correct ?
Hi @mouadmoulou-6247, yes it should be. CMOS batteries typically last between 3 and 5 years as long as your PC is plugged in most of the time. If you put your PC in storage for a long time where it is not connected to the electricity supply the battery will drain a lot faster, so it makes sense to remove the battery in that case. That's why new motherboards come with a thin piece of plastic between the CMOS battery and it's connector. The battery is not connected until the plastic is removed.
Excellent tutorial, thank you. Perfect amount of detail and useful tips.
Thank you very much! Glad it was helpful!
Best tutorial I have ever seen to solder, thank you so much.
Wow, thanks! You're very welcome!
Thank you, this fixed my BIOS issues.
Great to hear! You are very welcome!
Normally, I never watch an entire tutorial video, but in this one, I was as focused as if I were watching a very catchy movie! I didn't know much about soldering and had skipped through a few videos before. While planning my Vero Board layout, I already watched your other video, which was very useful and informative! Again, this video helped me a lot, and I feel ready for my first soldering session! Keep on making such great content! But I'm curious-did you intentionally misplace the cable for Pin 1 to show us how to fix such things? If so, that's a clever move!
Wow - Thank you for your very kind comments! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. I intend to make some more very soon and your feedback is very encouraging. Regarding the error on pin 1 - that was actually a genuine mistake but I am glad it happened because it gave me an opportunity to show how to fix it and also to show that anyone can make a mistake - not just beginners!
What temperature is your soldering iron set at? What is the diameter of the solder? Why didn't you use a soldering paste before soldering? You can tell I'm new to the hobby. Thank you! I've learned a lot! Greetings from Chicago! Cheers, mate!
The soldering iron I use in the video is made by Antex and is one of the 25 watt models. The tip is 2.3mm in size and the temperature is around 370 to 390 degrees celcius. I use leaded solder because I find it easier to work with but if you are using lead free solder the soldering iron temperature should be about 400 degrees C. I didn't use solder paste or Flux because the solder wire usually comes with some inside it. Applying a little extra Flux to the copper strip first can make things a little easier though. Always make sure the copper is clean and shiny before attempting to solder otherwise you may find it hard to get the solder to stick to it. You can use a pencil eraser to clean the strip board first before you solder if it is looking a bit dull. Have fun!
@@teksparkz thank you for all the help!
I'm dyslexic, and I find it impossible to use conventional PCB layouts when prototyping my designs. This method looks extremely promising. The smooth, cool, informative presentation and usefulness of the content have earned my subscription. Nice work!

@@teksparkz Dziękuję.👍👋
🎉
👍😃
Amazing guide, as a beginner, this explained a lot of my questions. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! You are very welcome!
Sadly there's not too many components that you can place in DIY layout creator, for example there's no IC sockets and only one type of simple button switch
That's true - you are right. However, you can draw your own components using lines and other shapes, save them as building blocks and then use them in future diagrams.
@@teksparkz yeah and you can also use imported images for unusual stuff so it's a good tool overall
Very well done ... thanks a mil!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video. It helped me to understand the topic :)
That's great. You're very welcome!
Great video! Your type of content is much appreciated! Sending you a Big Thank You from Switzerland :)
Thanks Alan it's great to hear such positive feedback!
Why is it necessary to change the date and time after replacing the cmos battery. I replaced the battery today. I was getting the same error. then I booted up my windows. The internet fixed my date and time automatically. I shutdown the pc and restarted..went to bios..the bios time and date changed too. And the error was fixed.
Good question. You are right and often will find that this is the case but it is possible that not all operating systems will automatically update the clock via the Internet and some users may not be able to connect to the internet until they have the network card drivers installed.
So helpful thank you so much for going into the full process! This was a huge help man i love you 😭🫶🏻
You are very welcome! Thank you too!
Outstanding. Such an enjoyable watch. Thank you
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Where you get one of them, track tools?
Hi Michael. They are called Stripboard track cutters. You can buy them from RS-Online here: ie.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-milling-equipment/0543535?gb=s A 3mm or 1/8th inch drill bit for drilling metal will work just as well though - and probably a bit cheaper.
Dude, you deserve many more subscribers. This video was f**king awesome! 😃
Hey that's great Andres - I'm really glad you liked it!
Great presentation and content! thanks a lot!
Thanks! You are very welcome!
A mind blowing tutorial. An ability to make a custom block was always right there. Now I don't need to pretend a 6-pin IC is a rotary encoder. Thank you so much for your work!
Wow thanks! Glad you found the video useful.
really good explanation for somebody who last dealt with this way back at school and never really understood circuits back then. Thank you. Subscribed and on my "reading" list for my own work-related training.
That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent Tutorial 4 part series, thank you. I'll be looking for more.
Hey Michael that's brilliant. Thank you very much!
What are suitable wires for projects like this? I always used ethernet UTP cables in the past. They are easy to cut by accident (now i have better wire stri per), they heat up fast and insulation can easily melt which makes them literally painful to use. Also half of wires is white cause color band may be at the wrong side.
Hi @pavelperina7629, I use 0.26 mm² Equipment Wire, 23 AWG, 1/0.6 mm with a solid core. For wires that need to be able to bend without breaking too easily I use 22AWG stranded wire instead of the solid core wire. I like the way you use UTP though - Great way to recycle bits of old cable. Hope that helps
Excellent tutorial. I learned a lot of great tips on soldering. I'm an electronics novice and been having difficult with soldering. This helps a lot. Thank you!
Thanks @fritzlausier7053! You are very welcome.
one more like for 555! Thanks for the good, quality information and video. I definitely enjoyed it.
That's great!. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for making this look as easy as it is. Great video 😄
Thanks so much 😊
How to connect ammeter on stripboard ??
Good question! In order to measure current the ammeter has to become a part of the circuit - i.e. current has to be able to flow through it. So you would have to take out one of the jumper wires and connect the ammeter in its place. Once you have measured the current you can then replace the jumper wire. Not as convenient as solderless breadboard but possible.
Thank you so much for this! The best I've seen
Wow, thank you!
Useful video❤
Thanks 😊
This is an awesome tutorial. The explainations, camera work and drawings make it very easy to understand. Thanks buddy- you’re a very natural teacher.
Wow thanks! That's very kind of you to say that!
i like how you not only describe, how to use stripboard, but also the common practices when getting into soldering. am new to hardware components and your video is extremely informational. keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! I'll do my best :-)
This was a really good video, it helped me a lot.
Thanks Figgy!
With this kind of stripboard you can place parts much more efficient, by moving them more to the middle. The board will be 50%.
You are absolutely right!
Thank you so much for this through video! 👌
Thank you too - Glad you liked it!
@@teksparkz 😊
I hate using Veroboard, but I have been using it for 50+ years. Prior to that I used tag board, valves, and a bunsen-burner-heated lump of metal that was called a soldering iron (Dad used this to build wirelesses in the '50s, and a TV in the early '60s). What I want is a module in KiCAD or equivalent that would produce the perforating and wiring diagram.
Yes that would be a handy module all right. I'd say you and your Dad must have made some interesting circuits!
When I go to the diylc site the latest version is v4.37.0 so how is it you are seeing 4.9?
Even though I saw your reply below to a different link it is showing 4.37.0 as latest?
Hi@@shader26 it is just the way the version number is written I think. Version 4.37.0 would be a later version than 4.09.0. But because the zero before the 9 is not shown you may have read it as version 4.90.0
@@teksparkz Right! Thanks!
Hi, just curious as to why you decided to add a transistor to drive the LED since a 555 can supply a 200mA of output current.
That's true - it was really only put there so that I could show how to solder in a larger range of components.
Can be good 'near-finished' tip to check that the resistance between Vcc and Gnd of any ICs in the circuit should be some relatively high value and certainly not near short.
That's a great tip - Thanks!
