Circuit Board Prototyping: Breadboards, Padboards, Stripboards and More

Thank you for this! I hear you build pedals and I'm' looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Very helpful!

What are the advantages of using the 2 Holes per pad compared to 1 hole per pad?

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.

Thanks for sharing this video & information it has been helpful. de AA4SH

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!

On stripboards, what tool do you use to cut the traces? You skimmed over that.

Mostly a shitty advert.

How are called the little white feet at the end? Stand offs?

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.

You guys have some seriously awesome videos for beginners. You've got my business!

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.

fucking awesome

Just made my first order @Amplified Parts.

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.

Very helpful video, thank you

Done key needles?
Foot palmas

thanks for the tips on soldering, using the component legs as a conductor track is great, thanks

So clever, thank you for this nice video! I learned a lot about it and will go for soldering stuff in the future.

Very informative :)

Are stripboards and general purpose PCBs the same thing? I’m trying to build synths!

Nicely done. Very precise unstructions.

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?

I am 60% sure this is Jack Black

this stuff was never properly explained in my class.
why did i pay fees?

thank you

what solder is he using? looks better than mine.

Do PCB's have positive and negative terminals like breadboard do? Or is it just a piece with no negative and positive terminals

Nice solder up-close demo. :- ))

Really helpful in a pinch thank you!

Great video - Thanks!

Thank you very much this video really helped me!

could I cut down a padboard if I needed something really small to only hold a few components?

Awesome! Thank you :)

Very useful. I'm sure it will improve my soldering no end.

Really helpful for us newbies (even at my age), thanks!

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!

Super helpful dude, I’m just starting my electronics journey and any bit of info helps! Thanks heaps

Brief and intelligible to a beginner like me. Thanks!

Male to Male, Female to Female. I hear it is even legal in Alabama now.

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...
