Itching to play with that jumperless breadboard, eh?
That'd be my guess as well :)
@@321ooo123 Same here lol
As a hobbyist I am learning how to use a hot air station. I can say a chip of that size isn't too bad after a few hours of hot air practice. I purchased a few "SMD practice soldering kits" and learned on the first one which has a row of 1206 resistors followed by a row of 0805 resistors then 0805 caps then a round center with a 555 + 4017 and a circling led display using a bunch of 0805 components. I got the display to work 2 days ago. I was a bit excited at midnight when it finally worked. I did have to reapply the 555 as I didn't get all the legs to solder the first time. I installed the 4017 perfectly the first time with no issue at all. Past that center section there are 0603 resistors and caps and finally 0402 resistors. I did the 0603 resistors row last evening. I find this a bit challenging but I accomplished that with none blown away never to be seen again..
I use the machined pin headers. They're the right gauge for breadboards. Or long-pin socket headers so you plug your jumpers straight into and still breadboard it.
Yeah, I'm out of stock.
100%. And a flux pen ;-)
Interesting, hadn’t thought on them! I’ve found that the square headers do tend to weaken the breadboard springs a bit. Normally I use 0.6mm solid wire for jumpers, and I find they’re a bit looser after shoving a square header in.
Me too. Bonus is that the machined pin headers also fit well into machined DIP sockets if that's what someone might also do with that adapter boards.
1. Put a little flux on the PCB.
2. Place the chip on the pads.
3. Touch the legs with a solder iron with a little solder on it.
and Bob's your uncle.
That's for pussies.
Good enough for Australia...@@EEVblog2
Dave learned to solder at the school of blob soldering.
Or at the plumbers school...
Dave, title should be "Just how not to Solder an SMD Adapter" :lol:
I always plug the headers into my breadboard first, put the device I'm solder onto that, and solder it onto the pins (at least the ones in the corners) that way everything lines up perfectly and the board is held in place for me automatically.
He's just showing how not to do it.
Same here
In this case the pins fit very snuggly so no need for that.
@@EEVblog2 The breadboard defaults to a workholding device, however, so you're not struggling with this tiny board!
I do that with a 40-year-old breadboard that won't make me cry if anything gets scorched. :)
I've used a frying pan on a gas stove to flow solder paste. Use IR thermometer to check the temperature. Worked perfectly.
Nice. Casual videos like this one are therapeutic :D
Keep up the good work Dave. I really enjoy your electornics videos. And i learned a new expression "Donkey years ago" :D
if my Solder joints doesn't look perfect i put a tiny amount of flux on them and tap the solder joints with the Soldering Iron, they look perfect after that ;)
Nice little board 👍 I have my Arduino nano permanently mounted on my breadboard with those same 0.1" pins. I found this out by mistake but it now lives there permanently :-)
Oh i keep meaning to order some of these 😊
I got some older gear i wanna try upgrading the opamps on
And yes those pinheaders will cause issues on breadboards over time.
That is a nicely designed adapter board. Lots of options.
But rather horrible from a RF point of view. The unused wires and pads on the other side act as stubs witch could ruin signal integrity. The overhang could also limit placement options on the target board when other parts are nearby.
Naah, The header pin won't fit very well into a breadboard but they will fit fine into a vero board. What I do if I have to mount it into a breadboard is solder an IC socket into the PC board, stick pieces of jumper wires into the sockets of the IC socket and that will keep the vero board happy. I thought you knew that 😅
Gee, soldering something for a breadboard right after doing a video on Jumperless. I wonder!
I use them all the time to make little Attiny85 based arduino projects. I use the amazing little MiniWare TS101 soldering iron. great little PCBs. BTW love your videos, fellow aussie living in QLD
It will be most likely a project involving low voltage measurements .
Your next video will be a collaboration with Hydraulic Press Channel "Can this circuit survive 300 tons" :D
Didn't we already have a video about jelly bean op-amps?
Have dead bugged them before, it gets fiddly, but for 3 or 4 pin devices that are not high power it works.
Yeah, been there, done that.
geeze Dave...that soldering job looks as bad as mine! :P
...i have never liked the thought of square pegs in a round hole!... or through hole ICs placed into round machined sockets! dual wipe ftw!
😂 I get the feeling he need soldering classes from Rossmann 😅
😂
Rossman needs to knock it off with the flux. Not needed in most cases as this video shows.
Next video, trimming off the unused portion?
Composite Amplifiers? Fundamental Friday?
I'd personally put a bit of solder paste on the pads then heat gun it on.
Me too.
Maybe hot air and reflow that sot23, that'll probably tidy up the solder.
Nah, just dab the joint again.
Poor job indeed Dave, you're supposed to put half a tube of flux all over it first.
FFS people, knock it off. There's enough flux in the solder, even the skinny stuff Dave's using.
How the AF do they fit 5 cores in 0.38mm?
@@EEVblog2 There's a thought, stick some under the microscope and count them.
@@EEVblog2 id expect they do it like how they make fibre optics... make it much larger and then stretch it out till its the desired thickness...
@@EEVblog2 elf magic
When it comes to flux matters I am in Rossmann's school of thought
I always first push the little board on the breadboard and then solder the legs for a perfect fit. Soldering iron temperature seems too low. Are you saving on electricity and flux? :-)
380C
I am guessing the next video is going to be another pool update?😀
I've bought these from Silicon Chip - if you want fast local service for Aussies and Kiwis
I was going to guess that you're playing with something super sensitive, like maybe a strain gauge, but the jumperless breadboard suggested by others seems more likely
Your next video is gonna be the review video on the MSO2 series from Tektronix
Actually for a breadboard breakout board this is certainly ok.
Sure it will work. But this is how tik tok wanks solder, not an electronic engineer....
Dave, do a TQFP chip with the biggest tip you can find for the sheer masochism of it
That works well, it's called drag soldering. I remember seeing a video of a Chinese factory with mostly teenaged girls using using a tip that looked like it fell off a plumbers truck. Four quick swipes & done.
I might be different guy but I always start with good amount of flux - much better experience.
+10.
Learn to solder properly or clean your tip. The flux in the solder is enough.
I don't know how to improve the microcurrent?
Don't have time for that. Blast it with hot air on tinned pads.
Better to use solder paste and a hot air wand, right?
Nope, that's for pussies.
@@EEVblog2 Meow.
The only problem with these adapters is that the pads will peel off or get cut when removed or placed on the breadboard
How? That can only happen if you don't seat the header properly,, ie with the plastic right up against the PCB.
Next video - The search for the breadboard 😀
Your next video is going to be about electronics. Am I right?
What temp is your iron?
Next video guess: updating the micro-current?
Nope.
It’s not something I shall do after taking some asthma medication sometimes my hands shake after that.
Finally someone that can solder on this platform.
I might have used a bit of a higher temp and less solder, but otherwise great technique.
Nah, Dave hasn't a clue. How can you trust someone who doesn't empty a tube of flux all over the board first?
@@j.f.christ8421 man you won't believe what I get in my feed sometimes, some guy just splats solder paste and flux like mad, all the solder balls float under every pin, it's ridiculous. (I mean float, he puts on so much flux, that chips on the other corner of the board might get shorted)
I assume you're being sarcastic.
@@shaunmorrissey7313 no, not really, why?
Should have used a finer tip, eh? Doing stuff with big tools, Glasslinger style... because with enough skill, a choice of tool doesn't matter all that much.
We learned "how not to solder" :))
Unfortunately, I have to use the solderless SMD adaptors. My vision is bad and my hands are too big for SMD components. I try to avoid them as much as I can.
You can use magnifying tools and lever.
@@user-cs8qq5vt4v I have magnifying tools. Even with them it's a pain in the arse to do.
Insufficient flux. Iron heat too low. Icicle happens. Keep practicing. Lol
One day hе will learn. 😂
DIP or DIL?
DIP refers to the IC package type, so that's why the end P, while DIL is about the pin distribution, not necessarily of an IC
🤔
Why do you have 2 channels? I just found it. 🤨 I am forced to subscribe. 🤝🏼
Come on Dave! Do real videos again!
Owns some scopes worth 5 figures but not a single proper soldering station. Buy a real JBC station with a 245 handle and some bevel and knife tips. This is hard to watch.
I think this is some Pace soldering station which is send it for free. Well, JBC does not send items for free, buying is hard ...
Err, I have a JBC. Hard to watch basic soldering onto a small pads that can be done with literally any soldering iron?
@@EEVblog2 That linear transformer thingy from 10 years ago? And that would have been a better pick, with a nice 2mm bevel tip, higher heat, and some flux!
So early
That's what she said.
Why don’t you try using the correct 2mm tip size, instead of using your PLUMBER’S IRON 🙄🙄
