People say that the use of tools is the most significant difference between Humans and animals. This is why I will show you 8 tools I consider most important for our electronics hobby. And I will discuss the choices to make, where you can save your money and where it is wise to spend a little more.
I will cover:
• Power Supply
• Pliers and strippers
• Soldering
• Hot air
• Microscopes
• Multimeter
• Oscilloscope
• 3D printer

I used a PC fan for fume extraction too, but it has a piece of activated carbon filter (the sort you might use in a cooker extraction unit) in front of the fan. I can confirm this works very well, and a good quality PC fan has enough static pressure to pull air through the filter. Failing that there are cheap fume extractors available from china

I also bought one of those automatic wirestrippers and im very happy with it. Can reccomend! O and if you dont have the budget for a bench oscilloscope, look for a used hp one.

There is a few YT videos on breadboards and indeed some really bad versions exist out there. I watched and decided to go with Jameco Valuepro (WBU-202-R, 803 points). It's more expensive but well worth the money since I have never had any issue with it. Does it matter, well not if you only make few connections but as the number of connection goes up you will increase the risk of various intermittent connection issues.

Dear Andreas, I'm always impressed about the quality of your videos. Please continue! What I miss in this video is that you did not mention a word on ESD protection. As I had recently some bad experiences with Chinese boards, I found out that (after many years of use) my soldering iron was not connected to the earth potential. This resulted in some defective parts, which were not easy to debug. I wonder if the TS80 and TS100 are always properly discharged? Thanks, Herman

Good video. A tip for those with a bit more cash is ceramic-tipped tweezers. I have a lazy eye so don't have full binocular vision. Don't ask how I can solder... It takes a few goes to find range before I can confidently work through a series of joints. I use a large magnifying glass for small bits... To augment the spectacles that I have been wearing since the age of 2. For people working with serial protocols, the buspirate has a lot of fans. It's cheap enough and is smarter than your average logic breakout. P.S. flux is also available in gel form. Consistency something like honey but not so sticky.

I have owned for 5 months hot air gun you mentioned in the video. I think it is temperature-adjustable and affordable for most of the users who dont engage in very delicite curcuit But I never tried how precise temperature it has. In a nutshell it is worth the purchase.
@AndreasSpiess
@AndreasSpiess 5 років тому
I also do not know the exact temperature, but I think it does not matter too much as I usually work with higher temperatures and stop if I reached the effect.

If you need to improve yourself in simulation domain, you'll need less of those breadboard and will go straight to making your own acid etched PCB... Also, for prototypes, I PCB designs, that can be salvaged if they are wrong.(like, for microcontroller, having maximum number of pads broken out for a given space. Having filters and analogue bits placed with modular boards. Etc etc)
@AndreasSpiess
@AndreasSpiess 5 років тому
Most of my projects are a combination of microprocessors and discrete electronics. So simulation is a little difficult. But you are right, I do not use simulation enough.

How essential a binocular microscope is, depends on what you are doing. I would say that an illuminated bench magnifier is essential, certainly for those of us with ageing eyesight. I have been working with electronics for 50 years and while have access to a bench microscope at work, it is something I seldom use, most of the time a bench magnifier is adequate and a far cheaper purchase. The new cheap multimeters are very accurate and extremely good value compared with the old analogue instruments I started with. However, a Fluke will last you forever and is significantly faster at auto ranging and continuity beep. My 70 series was issued to me at work in the late 80’s and is still going strong. I recently added a newer Fluke 83V, bought second hand, because I wanted a back lit display. The cheap units only switch the backlight on for about 15 seconds, which is a right pain. A second hand Fluke can be bought at a significant saving from new. Yes my Fluke will go to sleep, but I have never felt the need for a bench multimeter. I agree wholeheartedly with you about using lead solder. We have lead free at work and it is much harder to use for reworking. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos, they are always well scripted and produced. A very small point, the instruments you were holding up are called ‘cutters’ in English. Small electronics pliers are for holding only.

I have to say I agree that a binocular is less helpful, but for me it is due to my glasses. It is very hard to find binoculars with stigmatism correction, and without it I cannot judge the squareness or distance of parts very well. I have found display microscopes and large magnifying lenses work far better for me as I can keep my glasses on.

For fume removal, you can have a pc fan as well as a cheap filter like a respirator replacement filter (basically lots of folds of cotton) with some activated carbon(some ppl say activated charcoal) thrown in. The carbon actually absorbs the fumes so of course with time filter has to be replaced. You can buy the activated carbon in capsules at the pharmacy (just pop open capsule to get it). Or buy at some natural health treatment store.
@AndreasSpiess
@AndreasSpiess 4 роки тому
I also read that they use filters from the kitchen fume extractor ;-)
@athirstyguy
@athirstyguy 4 роки тому
@@AndreasSpiess indeed. Whatever more accessible to you. I'd imagine fine extractor filters to be more expensive tho. Any run-of-the-mill filter can work tho. Heck, even a small porous container with cotton balls and the activated carbon is fine as well. It's just way better to get rid of fumes rather than redirect them. Also, also, you may wanna make a vid recommending use of safety for hobbyists. Ppl don't know this but even some common electronics have some amounts of relatively dangerous metals like beryllium, bromides, chlorides, cadmium, lead, etc. Esp for old repurposed electronics. Source: www.greenpeace.org/archive-international/en/publications/reports/toxic-tech-chemicals-in-elec/ So at least a fan and gloves are really recommended. Anyway great content! Love tge channel.

Thanks for all your great videos Andreas :) Many oscilloscopes can be remotely controlled by sending SCPI commands over USB from a PC. Would it be possible to build an "Oscilloscope remote control" using for instance an ESP32? Is it possible to establish USB communication between the oscilloscope and a microcontroller, instead of a PC? Maybe a project idea for you...
@AndreasSpiess
@AndreasSpiess 2 роки тому
The newer oscilloscope come even with software for remote control and display. The commands are very specific to particular oscilloscopes. So it would not make a lot of sense for me. The suppliers have to provide this info. Some oscilloscopes can also be remotely controlled by Sigrok pulseview.
