@@EthanReesor I am a dumbass. I accidently replied to your comment when I was just trying to comment on the video, referring to Joe. You must have been so confused. I never read your comment until now, and I think we were making the same point; that Joe is a genius, as well as being very relatable and humble. And you made an honest attempt to reply to my accidental reply, which in itself is remarkable and rare on UA-cam. I'm so sorry to have wasted your time. I'm going to leave my comment up for everyone to see my stupid mistake. Take care, Ethan.
This is maybe my favorite BPS Space video, which means it’s one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Great work Joe!!! Thanks for the knowledge, laughs and fun!
Can you buy these boards? asking for an Iranian friend who is asking for a Russian friend who is asking for a Chinese friend who is asking for a North Korean friend.
Hello Icarus Thiccarus, I hope you're well. Thank you for teaching me about grey sauce and magic squares. Your T-shirt speaks to me at a fundamental level and that one part of the video was transcendental and changed me as a person for the better.
I will never get over just how spectacular you are at making beautiful (and also funny and educational) videos. Congrats on an absolute BANGER Also le soundtrack be bumpinnnn
"We don't want magic smoke to come out, because it's really hard to put the magic smoke back in" This is one of the most beautiful explanations of entropy I've ever heard!
i haven't visited your channel in quite a while. It was always entertaining because of what you're doing and how well you communicate that and your enthusiasm for it. But I see a real quantum leap in your production and entertainment value, story telling, stray deer, moon rise, BPS interns, musical Shre-e--ek accompaniment and all. You're a pro youtuber. Very well done!
Just FYI, for precision tech, especially digital applications, I'd recommend 4 layers: with 2 signal layers, and 2 hidden ground planes. The signal layers can create enough EMF in smaller electronics to induce signals into nearby circuits. A ground plane directly beneath both signal layers will protect against that.
@@Jeremy.Bearemy if you're designing a 2 layer pcb you've signal panel on "top" of the two side, in a s/g/g/s arrangement, each face is a signal plane with a ground one just beneath. i'll put my2c on s/g/g/s as @B-Mac
Joe, whether you know it or not, you are promoting the idea that it’s ok to fail because it’s still an opportunity to learn,and that’s inspiring. You are an inspiration. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Moose Jaw Tim
I've actually been thinking about """streamlining""" the process for a big (huge) project I'm doing (go direct to the final version, what could go wrong?), thanks for being my test subject on what not to do.
The segue into the 4th launch was an instant UA-cam classic, and possibly motion picture history being made. The storyline. The footage. The editing. The casting of the main characters. Even the catering, as shown through the fresh and healthy appearance of the cast. Wow!
Actually to get 2 stages to fly straight without fins is impressive. How many times did Rocketdyne have F1 engine failures in testing before they got it to the point that the Saturn V 1st stages never failed with crew on them.
1:58 "We don't want the magic smoke to come out, because it's really hard to put the magic smoke back in." What a fun way to think about frying a board. Due to conservation of mass and information, it's technically possible to put every atom of material that was combusted back where it belonged to make the board work again. It's just "really hard." Lmao
The climax of the video was amazing! It truly captured what it takes to turn new ideas into a reality. It's easy to feel like you're done at that point because it's not talked about enough. The leaning back in the chair is so familiar, I was smiling right through it. Keep up the great work. I loved the video.
Is it safe to say that in rocket science, there are either people who are built different and decide not to record any flight data or rockets that are built different that decide not to record any flight data, and everything else is just all the magic smoke building up in high enough concentrations to actually make things magically work? 😉
@@CopenhagenSuborbitals I think it's fair to say that you are THE institution within the field of rocketry in Denmark. Glæder mig til jeres fremtidige videoer.
In rocket science there's two kinds of magic smoke: The fiery smoke that makes your rocket go up and the sparking smoke that makes your rocket go down.
At the very least I hope he registered it with a content matching service, otherwise someone else will and then claim all his hard earned monetization because that's how broken the UA-cam system is
Honestly, EVERY aspiring engineer needs to see this video. Nobody’s built different - physics befuddles/exhausts/schools us all equally. Your one video is probably going to save billions of dollars and who knows how many lives down the line. You didn’t phone this one in, you simply made a very common mistake, and had the good grace to keep it all on film. Good on ya dude. And no kidding, that montage music is my new jam. Your rockets flew at least a little, nothing seemed to blow up, all of it was designed to withstand the foreseen failure conditions, and most importantly: the safety protocols seemed to function perfectly. Overall, great work!
Your videos do such a good job at demonstrating that "failure is part of the process." And with the right attitude (and healthy self-deprecating humor), failure isn't to be feared, or even to be avoided to the point of progress-lock. It happens. I hope people get that. Oh and I sincerely hope that I am appropriately feeding the algorithm here. Your channel and all the supporters deserve more views.
YES. THIS. Also, 0402 components are a great way to learn about complex / imaginary numbers... like when you assemble 9 LEDs, and you ordered 20, so... 20-9 = 3 left.
Between the silly song and the decent into madness (which honestly was hilarious and one of the best parts of the video) it really looks like you’re having fun with your projects, which is great to see. At the end of the day, such a cool idea and fun to watch you having a good time!
Omg that was amazing!!! My favorite part was his intellectual knowledge he gave us before the 4th flight, very impressive! I don’t think even my college professor could match to your level
i mean, holy shit, this was so amazing. right around minute 12 was literally the best moment i have come to witness in the entirety of my existence on planet earth. simply breathtaking, except even that doesn't do it justice.
I was looking at the comments while watching this, and I saw a few comments like this and I was so hyped for that moment. I really am so insanely stupid.
Dear Built Different, I sooo enjoy your videos especially the transition to the 4th flight. I don't want to say I enjoy seeing the unsuccessful flights, but I do enjoy watching the problem solving process, the creative energy and ideas. I am more mechanically inclined and I want to want to be more programming savvy. Please keep up the great work. We are rooting for you.
Broke the first rule of Rocketteering. "Didn't take into account that the missle needs to know where it is by knowing where it wasn't, and by knowing where it isn't, the missle knows where it is doesn't need to be" Great video.
I’ve seen very talented engineers spend days sitting on the floor by million dollar machines pulling and smelling boards look for the source of the magic smoke.
This was fun, and this video shows how you review what you have done, critique your effort, and get better with each iteration of a project. Well done!
When you get the bugs ironed out, you can build a rocket to go up to the edge of space with multiple cameras to see for yourself what it looks like, rather than relying on what NASA wants us to see. Recovery would be another issue unless you have a quad copter made on it to activate return to home. Just a thought
This has to be my favorite video on UA-cam so far, maybe tied with the magnet spinner episode or the correcting section on the fins episode keep crushing it
I think this is one of your best videos yet. I really love how you bring us with you along the process. It's extremely inspirational to watch how you respond to the challenges that prop up. Thank you!
I lol'd at the deer. It's like he hopped in to say "Brah, you need some help? Cuz me and the boys been watchin and you look like you need some help. We can do some deer math for you or something cuz we're really good at jumping"
That first launch reminds me of a time long ago when I took a model of a General Lee and turned it into a rocket car. It started off great (without doing the math but careful assessment of weight, balance and guessing the thrust). It went straight for about thirty feet, curved toward the right, hit the side of the local junior high school track, launched in the air, spun around like crazy and exploded midair. It was a blast.
I feel like the making of the board section was the most informative circuit tracing software tutorial that has ever been put to any form of media. Also, that song was fire. I need more of it.
Oh shiiit Barnard posting time to hop on! Liked the NSF interview, wish they would've read my question and put you on the spot for why it's Barnard propulsion when propulsion is the only thing you don't make lol
_You don't need to do things just because they're useful or they have some direct end purpose you can just do them because you enjoy the process_ - Joe Barnard (BPS Space)
I got goosebumps watching this, and it's the best kind of goosebumps. I think I even teared up a little bit watching that 4th flight. And as a 30 something grown man, I didn't feel ashamed about it, not even a little. Great great work, Joe.
I think you did great! You kept trying and made great steps forward. You learned lots and had fun. (remember the fun, forget the frustration) If it were easy, everyone would be flying multi-stage rockets.
Maybe I missed it, but If that was me, I'd be moving the rocket off vertical by hand to check if the Atmel chip was programmed right to correct the deviation from the IMU ground direction reporting. Also, your take off G-forces should exceed gravity, so you need to have a fool proof way to analyse the IMU changes under real world conditions. You can do this by mounting your tiny circuit board on a drone with a couple of tiny servos and then record it's attempt to correct actions as you shoot it up into the air. Make sure not to swap your x and y servos! No logging required. speaking of(writing of) logging, most of the Atmel AVRs have on board user accessible flash. Check your chip's flash size, data set to record and set it to write from takeoff, with more speed for early stages as those are where you seem to be spending more time. Apart from that, great video, refreshing change to see attempts, too many people on here obsessed with only showing their successes!
Great video Joe. I really like your enthusiasm and drive (much like a younger me). I am close to 70 and still do things 'just because'. I still love learning and doing things just to say I did it. Keep it up. You will one day look back and say WOW how did i get here. Your expectations of not needing flight data logging is awesome but you Really Do Need Data Logging. The best to you.
@@STEEPPOW except for the high power stuff Joe has been focusing on low level flights for their stunning visual effects and system development such as stages and landing. You don't want to fly to 1k plus feet for every little system test.
@@STEEPPOW Complexity and efficiency vs dumb shit brute force. The later is crude but reliable, to a degree; the former attempts finesse, but is far more suseptible to 'weakest link' failures.
In one of his earlier videos, Joe talked about data logging taking place at 40Hz. I don't remember which one it was, but there could be a scheduler (at least) with a data logging task that executes every 25 miliseconds.
40Hz is so slow for me. I have a 20mm x 82mm datalogger collecting 7 channels of data at 500Hz and 3 channels at 5Hz as a typical configuration. It's still a prototype in testing. Looking to fly it in 3 weeks. Joe and I are going down different paths within the field of rocketry. We are both making advancements, that I hope others follow, in our specific fields of interest.
Awesome, Joe! I'm curious, wouldn't a lightweight, less bulky (though not tiny) USB connection solution be to make 4 exposed traces on the board edge that allow it to be plugged into a USB-A slot?
I rarely comment in UA-cam, well almost never. I don’t think you made mistakes, it is the process that most stuff is created, trial and error. I have been an engineer in oil and gas for 30 years and cannot wait to retire because all i want to do is exactly this; maybe not just rockets but all sort of things. My sincere congratulations, your channel makes me feel not all is lost and there is a future to look for.
Great. Now I have “🎵He’s designing the board🎶” stuck in my head for who-knows-how-long…. 😆 And that one part was DEFINITELY the best part of all. Definitely.
@@bozothejew4850 I'd be only too happy to have another episode but he used to upload every episode within 2-3 months of the previous one and sometimes even with a gap of only a few days. It's been 2 years since the last episode.
Is it wrong that I found this fun despite your frustration? Congratulations for sticking through the process, and making incremental improvements. We would have never made it into space without first inventing the wheel.
LYRICS for “Designing the Board” by Joey B: Verse 1: He’s designing the booooard Now he’s routing the traaaces **presses delete for some reason** LOOK AT HIM GOOOOO **aggresively slides over keyboard* PLACING THE ORDEEER **spills water everywhere** Outro: **j u m p** Smash that like button I crave external validation. **chortle**
Step 1:no wings Step 2:no safety motor,buggy code? Step 3:This part of the video is amazing! Yet,not lighting for stage 2? Step 4:Great work! No schute?
"Little known fact; if you drop one of these parts on the ground it actually ceases to exist. Conservation of mass does not apply here it's just gone." SO true.
Yep! The old look down and follow it trick one learns after dropping one too many small parts doesn't apply for small SMD caps, resistors, diodes. Best to just order three or four extra!
@@ZwergofPhoenix That works if you regularly vaccum/sweep your workshops floor. Another trick is if you happen to be unlucky enough to be married😂😂 then you can loot a pair of panty hose and stretch over the end of a vacuum hose. If you’re younger you can ask your mother or sister if I suppose.

Pleeease joe, this kind of video has a quality that is so rare on youtube these days. Please keep going!!
This is SOO GOOD, and you're one of the model humans I use when aspiring to do great things!
Honestly this was my favorite BPS video to date, nice work man!
That song and "build montage" might just be the best thing I've seen all day.
Joe: I built a custom tiny rocket flight control computer and soldered tiny SMD parts with my hand.
Also Joe: Shreeek
Great video Joe. I really like your enthusiasm and drive (much like a younger me). I am close to 70 and still do things 'just because'. I still love learning and doing things just to say I did it. Keep it up. You will one day look back and say WOW how did i get here. Your expectations of not needing flight data logging is awesome but you Really Do Need Data Logging. The best to you.
Xyla said you might be coming here to film with us. I'm curious what HS camera you use.
Why do all these rockets fly short and crash
@@STEEPPOW except for the high power stuff Joe has been focusing on low level flights for their stunning visual effects and system development such as stages and landing. You don't want to fly to 1k plus feet for every little system test.
@@STEEPPOW Complexity and efficiency vs dumb shit brute force.
The later is crude but reliable, to a degree; the former attempts finesse, but is far more suseptible to 'weakest link' failures.
didnt expect to find you here, are you potentially planning an in-flight guided bullet?
That part on sage four of shreeeek when the deer was there was pog.
I didn't even notice until editing! I had no idea it was there in the moment, too focused on ShEEEk I guess :)
@@BPSspace Sheeek
@@BPSspace really missed out on calling it Shreeek 2, Shreeek the Third and Shreeek Forever After.
No joke, what makes this video cool is your charm and assertive voice. Very sure of yourself and objective. Really well made man. Congrats
The Video was amazing, especially your epic engineering skills in making such a small flight controller. I'm impressed.
I've had this question for a while: do you run some sort of RTOS on your flight computers, or just a bunch of functions called from a runloop?
In one of his earlier videos, Joe talked about data logging taking place at 40Hz. I don't remember which one it was, but there could be a scheduler (at least) with a data logging task that executes every 25 miliseconds.
@@akhilathawale725 data logging? Who would do that? Are you not different or something?
@@simonabunker hahaha got me there. I pretended not to be, but realized I am. #wipeallbackups
40Hz is so slow for me. I have a 20mm x 82mm datalogger collecting 7 channels of data at 500Hz and 3 channels at 5Hz as a typical configuration. It's still a prototype in testing. Looking to fly it in 3 weeks. Joe and I are going down different paths within the field of rocketry. We are both making advancements, that I hope others follow, in our specific fields of interest.
Awesome, Joe! I'm curious, wouldn't a lightweight, less bulky (though not tiny) USB connection solution be to make 4 exposed traces on the board edge that allow it to be plugged into a USB-A slot?
I rarely comment in UA-cam, well almost never. I don’t think you made mistakes, it is the process that most stuff is created, trial and error. I have been an engineer in oil and gas for 30 years and cannot wait to retire because all i want to do is exactly this; maybe not just rockets but all sort of things. My sincere congratulations, your channel makes me feel not all is lost and there is a future to look for.
This is insane and I have enjoyed the progress off your space program over time!
We love how you love the process, Joe. Great video.
That part at 12:25 was my favorite part. Best video ever! All of the kind words for Shreeek!!!
Great. Now I have “🎵He’s designing the board🎶” stuck in my head for who-knows-how-long…. 😆
And that one part was DEFINITELY the best part of all. Definitely.
I nearly choked while laughing during your deigning the board montage. So hilarious. Good Job.
You tick all the humor check-boxes, but you are still a serious designer! Enjoyable and informative... sounds like a TV slogan!
when will the next episode of landing model rockets come out for blip and blop?!?!?!??
Hate to break it to you, it's not.
@@shlok975 WHAT!!!!
HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE JOEY B.
he needs to add to the series again.
@@bozothejew4850 I'd be only too happy to have another episode but he used to upload every episode within 2-3 months of the previous one and sometimes even with a gap of only a few days. It's been 2 years since the last episode.
@@shlok975 yeah lol
That conservation of mass gag really gave me a hearty nerd-laugh
Is it wrong that I found this fun despite your frustration? Congratulations for sticking through the process, and making incremental improvements. We would have never made it into space without first inventing the wheel.
LYRICS for “Designing the Board” by Joey B:
Verse 1:
He’s designing the booooard
Now he’s routing the traaaces
**presses delete for some reason**
LOOK AT HIM GOOOOO
**aggresively slides over keyboard*
PLACING THE ORDEEER
**spills water everywhere**
Outro:
**j u m p**
Smash that like button I crave external validation.
**chortle**
You look amazing dude, seems like you've had some nice rest. Also love the Bo Burnham vibe and design montage
Step 1:no wings
Step 2:no safety motor,buggy code?
Step 3:This part of the video is amazing!
Yet,not lighting for stage 2?
Step 4:Great work!
No schute?
This entire video feels like a UA-cam short
"i crave external validation" OMG i laughed so hard. (and pressed like)
Positive words:
BPS you get an A+ on this project for constancy!
Thanks for the fun video.
"Little known fact; if you drop one of these parts on the ground it actually ceases to exist. Conservation of mass does not apply here it's just gone."
SO true.
Yep! The old look down and follow it trick one learns after dropping one too many small parts doesn't apply for small SMD caps, resistors, diodes. Best to just order three or four extra!
Use some light nearly parallel to the floor, the multiple times larger shadow is much easier to see (if you have an even floor without many bumps)
or little screws, those disappear and reappear to stab your feet
@@Martin-yl5bg well at least those you do find 😂😂😖🤬
@@ZwergofPhoenix That works if you regularly vaccum/sweep your workshops floor. Another trick is if you happen to be unlucky enough to be married😂😂 then you can loot a pair of panty hose and stretch over the end of a vacuum hose. If you’re younger you can ask your mother or sister if I suppose.
