I'd love to know more about your UV Torch. So many UV LED type torches, and comments saying UV LEDs are as effective as glass bulbs. What voltage does yours take? Many use AA or AAA batteries, either 1s1p or 3s1p. Some use 14500 3.7v Lithiums or regular 1.5v AA. I wonder do you use your eneloops in you torch? What is the watt rating of the bulb? And which wavelength UV (365/395/other nm) does it generate?
Ohh havenโt heard of Alice in a while
Edit: just seen itโs an old video ๐
Regarding those prototyping boards (and the leaky glue pen for that matter), "Ebay — the land of chinese factory seconds!" This would stop if enough people complained about defects like some of those that you pointed out and that I've seen mention of in the comments below.
That other board you showed won't accomodate as much as one might think at first glace. You can only put chips straddling every other row of busses. I've looked at a lot of different prototyping boards over the years, and which one is best depends on what it is that you're trying to build. A circuit that involves many DIPs and not a whole lot else benefits from one layout, while a circuit that's mostly discrete components is going to benefit from another layout entirely.
Radio Shack used to sell an assortment of boards, including the one you feature here. That one was a bit more expensive in terms of board real estate than most others, so I tended to avoid it.
One other point, too — have you noticed how most of these little modules and whatnot coming from Asia seem to have absolutely no provision for mounting? I have a number of different regulator and charging modules that I've been inspired to buy since I started watching your stuff, and almost all of them have either no provision for mounting at all or maybe one single hole that's so small that my local hardware store doesn't carry anything small enough to use with it. I wonder what's up with that? I guess they're figuring that whoever uses this stuff is going to be putting it into some custom-molded plastic case or something. Not good for the hobbyist market, though.
Please don't say " Good Morning to all " – I love the part when you say " Morning' all " – keep saying that, it sounds cool !
I've never seen a file cabinet like that, only with the deep drawers. It looks perfect for boards too
The UV glue rocks… its tough and sticks to anything slightly porous and most smooth stuff too … I've used it to repair a chip in a porcelain bowl that's filled with oats and microwaved every morning – then washed. … I've etched glass with a scribe, filled the marks with ink and then sealed that with UV glue … been using it for over a year, its washed every day and is still stuck tight. I don't buy the pens, bottles advertised for tying fly fishing lures come in thick and thin and are ideal for repairs.
I even glued a fingernail I tore right down to the quick. The repair grew out with the nail and was cut off with scissors. It's wonderful stuff.
I don't know how it reacts with electrickery – but LOCTITE 480 BLACK INSTANT ADHESIVE is as good as its advertising. It sets almost instantly and sticks just about anything to anything (including metal) and won't let go. Well worth getting a bottle.
MY LIGHT HAD BATTERY, MY GLUE LEAKED AS WELL, SMELLS FUNY. THE LITTLE LIGHT MAKES THE GLUE SMOKE!! JUST SAYING OLD ONE LEGGED JOSEPH T RETIRED NAVY
Awesome video as always
Yes, shrouded plug and free line socket.
On July 8th, It was my birthday!! Like to wish me a happy birthday!! ๐
In what way does JLPCB sponsor your videos? Do they give you money? Did they buy you a car? Just curious. Thanks.
*torch
Americanised idiot.
can you make a video about how to program an eprom and run the code with a z80 ?
I'm still watching and predicing the package with multiple items is probably from Alice ๐
I love how you sound so posh and then say ain't lol
Pretty sure the "refill" part of the UV glue title isn't suggesting its refillable, but rather its a "refill" cartridge for people who already have the entire pen thing that's run out of glue
