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.

In India this type of stripboard normally not available... So i only use high quality double sided prototype board... I also have some this type of dotted board... One thing i learn from this video is this type of board is more convenient to make prototype of any circuits very quickly and easily... Subscribed... Thanks and really great video

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.
@teksparkz
@teksparkz Місяць тому
Yes that would be a handy module all right. I'd say you and your Dad must have made some interesting circuits!

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.

I know of breadboards, and proto boards, but not strip boards, and the flexibility they can provide. This was very informative. I had never seen the tool you used to erode the copper strip to avoid a short circuit. In the case of removing some of the copper strip, you could have verified that the removal was successful by using the continuity mode on the multimeter, right?
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 6 місяців тому
Yep that's right continuity mode is great for checking that. Stripboard is really handy for small to medium sized projects and doesn't require any special equipment. Glad you liked the video!

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.
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 2 місяці тому
That's true - it was really only put there so that I could show how to solder in a larger range of components.

Very Nice Video! What Software did you use for the Stripboard Layout?
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 2 місяці тому
Thanks!. The software is called DIY Layout Creator. I made a video about the basics of how to use it which you can view here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/paqbmWmcf6eak3k.html To download it visit the developer's page at github.com/bancika/diy-layout-creator/releases

is there any way to fix a track cut on the stripboard that wasn't supposed to be there?
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 5 місяців тому
Yes there is - You can insert a piece of wire to bridge the gap similar to the way you might insert a resistor or you can solder a piece of wire to the damaged strip like I do here ukposts.info/have/v-deo/f3ild3ucm2tplKs.html I hope that helps 😀
@pavelperina7629

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.
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 25 днів тому
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

may I ask why are the circuit diagram and the actual object in opposite directions?
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 5 місяців тому
That's a good question. Circuit diagrams are often drawn up to make the function of the circuit easier to understand but often do not show the actual physical layout of the chips and other components. In the circuit diagram used for this video the transistor and LED are shown on the right side of the diagram and are connected to pin 3 of the 555 chip. However, pin 3 on the 555 chip is actually on it's left side and so it makes sense to locate the transistor and LED on the left side when we are designing the layout of the circuit. The great thing about stripboard though is that if two or more components are soldered into the same copper strip they are then connected together regardless of which side of the board they are on. So I could have placed the transistor on the right side of the board and it would have worked just as well because what is important is that it is connected to the right copper strips. Hope that helps explain it better.

Your solder looks a little chunky. I use 0.032" (0.8mm) or anything near 1mm. You get more control over the solder and 0.1" (2.5mm) spacing. I did a circuit using a breadboard layout stripboard 3 power rails, 5 pin vertical, 2 pin centre vertical, and cut away the bottom side as I was using MOSFETs and not ICs, so, extra board was not required. It was a RGB MOSFET controller as the micro-controller cap around 40mA and each LED pulls 20mA and it was a Race Drone triple 5050 LED strip. Power requirements jumped from 60, 120, 180mA depending on colour activation (White to Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta). Board was 1" x 1.5" with 16 passives, 12 jumpers, 6 MOSFETs, 3 headers, or 86 of the 150 holes used. Your design 2" x 1.5" with 6 passives, 6 jumpers, BJT(optional), Timer IC was spaced out quite a bit, or 37 of 300 holes used. I may have shrunk it down to quarter of the size. You can stand resistors up or run them diagonally, plus cut some strips to make a tighter design like on a limited breadboard. You are building simple design but I would not want to buy the plastic project box to toss it into. Size is money in the hobby.
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 2 місяці тому
Yes you are right, 0.8mm gives more control but I didn't do too bad a job with the 1.2mm solder all the same ;-). That project you built sounds cool - you did a great job of reducing it down to a really small size. I could have done something similar but I wanted to keep the design relatively simple as the video is really aimed at beginners. I think that once people get the hang of the technique they will probably realise they can reduce the size down a bit more themselves, but thanks for the tip!

With this kind of stripboard you can place parts much more efficient, by moving them more to the middle. The board will be 50%.

How to connect ammeter on stripboard ??
@teksparkz
@teksparkz Місяць тому
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.

Maybe you should remove the metal alligator clip at the transistors side befor testing the circuit. Looks like it can accidentically short the copper lanes...

Good video but it looks like you're not using fume extractor. You should, because you're literally breathing in lead fumes and other stuff from flux.
@teksparkz
@teksparkz 6 місяців тому
You are absolutely right! Regular exposure to solder fumes may lead to the development of asthma (which I mention at the end of the video). Normally I do use one but it is quite noisy so I turned it off for the purpose of making the video. I made sure to work next to an open window though and kept the door open too to create a draught. Thanks for the tip!
