Thanks - this was the clearest description of how to use padboards that I have seen. Stripboards don’t make much sense when I am using an Arduino Nano - most of the pins I typically don’t use...
I'm glad I found this channel. I'm trying to design a smart PC monitoring system for liquid cooling and the challenge is the cooling system is remote from the PC case. Koolance in Washington state has used serial cables and PCI slot covers with female serial ports and paddle cards for temperature, fan and flow metering to their remote units, and also a means of starting the unit with the PC via a 12v Molex from the power supply. They also have higher power units where the 12v from the PC PSU simply turns on a transistor switch allowing the remote unit to turn on; it's plugged into the AC outlet. If course they're not going to give away their trade secrets by providing a schematic on how this is done. I worked at a switch mode power supply company in the 90s who after having a functioning prototype had the AutoCAD department design a circuit card for the strip board design and outsource a third party to print up the circuit cards. This would be bought in bulk and wouldn't be practical for an individual. So this channel will aid me greatly. Thank you.
Great video for beginners and perfectly shows how to use the boards that can be soldered for a more permanent design . Shaky hands, reduce alcohol/stress intake lol!
Thanks for sharing love your store have a lot of nice quality products looks like a lot of it's genuine that's a big deal these days 🤗💖💯 I will definitely shop. And thanks for the great video.
That trick with the resistor lead bending over to form a connection was really nice! I was looking for videos on how to attach wire to my components (still haven't found anything :D) so I didn't even consider doing connections this way!
That's actually the preferred way to do things, as the lead is unbroken. The alternative is to use a jumper wire on the other side or the same side, but there's always a chance that an overheat will cause the joint to melt and the wire will fall off. What I found interesting was to use solder(and not jumper wire) to bridge adjacent nodes. Much cleaner that way. Uses a lot of solder though.
Thank you for this video! Is it possible to use the solderable breadboard for prototyping? Is this advisable or should I be using standard breadboards for prototyping only?
So at 5:27 that 8-pin component opposite side legs (3rd from top) are actually connected? Why only the right side has the red rectangle and not on the left side if the whole row is on same potential level?
Stripboard is made of the same materials as a standard PCB but with an open layout for custom prototyping. Some people like the simplicity it allows for layouts but space can be a factor so for tighter layouts, protoboard can be a better choice. That being said, there are some creative stripboard layouts that maximize space very well.

Yes that is indeed what they are called. There are links to all of the products used in the video in the description, including the standoffs, so definitely check them out!
Please be careful when using a breadboard. It will create frequencies that will enter your body and cause damage. Wrap either the breadboard or your body in tinfoil to block out the frequencies. You must be careful with frequencies.
6:03 Or you could use a wooden box since wood is an excellent insulator or a plastic casing.
You guys have some seriously awesome videos for beginners. You've got my business!
same here!

Thank you for this! I hear you build pedals and I'm' looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Very helpful!
Thanks for the video.
Never seen the standoffs ❤
thanks for the tips on soldering, using the component legs as a conductor track is great, thanks

Thanks, Jim! Glad we could help.
well it is quite the opposite. for IC type strip boards are the easiest as mostly each pin would have multiple parallel connections

Really helpful for us newbies (even at my age), thanks!
2:00 how to use a padboard. Extremely helpful
Brief and intelligible to a beginner like me. Thanks!
Nicely done. Very precise unstructions.
Nice demonstrations and explanations.
Super helpful dude, I’m just starting my electronics journey and any bit of info helps! Thanks heaps
Agreed! Thanks very much!

Just made my first order @Amplified Parts.
Very useful. I'm sure it will improve my soldering no end.
Really helpful in a pinch thank you!
Nice solder up-close demo. :- ))
So clever, thank you for this nice video! I learned a lot about it and will go for soldering stuff in the future.
Very helpful video, thank you
Awesome! Thank you :)

Thank you very much this video really helped me!
Thank you for this video! Is it possible to use the solderable breadboard for prototyping? Is this advisable or should I be using standard breadboards for prototyping only?
It's possible to de solder, however it's more efficient and better to just use a standard breadboard
Very informative :)
On stripboards, what tool do you use to cut the traces? You skimmed over that.

What are the advantages of using the 2 Holes per pad compared to 1 hole per pad?
So at 5:27 that 8-pin component opposite side legs (3rd from top) are actually connected? Why only the right side has the red rectangle and not on the left side if the whole row is on same potential level?
Are stripboards and general purpose PCBs the same thing? I’m trying to build synths!

this stuff was never properly explained in my class.
why did i pay fees?
thank you
Could hot melt glue be used in place of stand offs when you don't care about being able to easily get the board out again?
Hot glue may not be the best choice. Plastic standoffs are easy to install: www.amplifiedparts.com/products/standoffs-018-plastic-adhesive-backing
could I cut down a padboard if I needed something really small to only hold a few components?
How are called the little white feet at the end? Stand offs?
Yes that is indeed what they are called. There are links to all of the products used in the video in the description, including the standoffs, so definitely check them out!
what solder is he using? looks better than mine.
For prototypes it don't mater do you use strip or pad boards. If size matters then pad board but it will be more like rat nest.
fucking awesome
Do PCB's have positive and negative terminals like breadboard do? Or is it just a piece with no negative and positive terminals
Nah It's more generalised , you have a supply and earth. Supply can be negative or positive.
You can choose the potential points yourself.
Done key needles?
Foot palmas
I am 60% sure this is Jack Black
And 40% sure it's Kyle Gass?
