How come you don’t put your PCB where we can order them too?
You could try the liquid flux that Tronicsfix uses.
Hi Julian I believe you could trim the edge of the RCA PCB and be able to remove the IC and have the capacitor stand vertical.
Glue two pieces of wood on the panel (that also give distance).
Use two wood screws.
You are obviously not a "Maker" Julian.
If you were. You wouldn't be looking at complicated spring solutions.
HOT GLUE!
I've got to agree re. the solder – just got some Chinese stuff and its seems blobby and grey – which probably means its mislabelled lead-free crud. Back to Rapid, the savings are cancelled out by the amount of extra time/flux/cleanup needed. I paid £2.69 for 100g of 0.7mm 2% flux 60/40, Rapid is only £4.90 (plus shipping) for the same spec; if you can setup a trade account with them!
I watched the full 30 minutes and you didn't even try to power it on. AHHH 😀 WE WANT SMOKE! Just kidding. Nice to see things going further! Cheers!
I've been hearing you talk about this vocoder for months now, and I must I missed the first episode. Because I have yet to hear why you want it and what you're going to do with it. Do you plan on encrypting all of your voice phone calls, or make a musical instrument? Catch us all up to date please, pretty please. I'm sorry but I'm tired of watching a drawn out project and having no idea what your goal is. My apologies, but.
why not use atx standard colors and if you need a beefy -12v rail add in a second voltage inverter since an atx psu already has what you need
yellow=+12v red=+5v blue=-12v
plus you can even have an easy soft power circuit using the existing ps-on signal line and even tie it to the pwr-good signal for if you short something out on a scp equipped psu (pwr-good is high when all is ok and ps-on is active low as well as the +5vsb for your power on circuitry/always on micro)
oops pwr-good is pwr-ok and is often gray and ps-on is often green ground is black and purple is +5vsb
edit: lol just google the atx-20 pin to get it all (24/28 pin ones just add extra pins for +3.3v and +12v and +5v)
note: a picopsu will do the job if your device is mostly glue logic and +/-12v op-amps due to the beefy included 12v-5v-3.3v regulators and you can just hook it to your solar grid of 10-13.8v
I need to look at the video again but I swear you put those ICs in the wrong way around according to your silk screen
Julian use nail cutter
Hey, you should try to measure the AC voltage over the tip of your ts100 iron and ground. That will probably scare you… 😉
I have had no luck with Chinese solder. It seems to have a very dull finish and it wicks up the lead on the component. One of them had the ratios printed as 60 Pb 40 Sn, which would seem to explain this. They were advertised with the opposite ratio.
Yeah, IME cheap Chinese solder from eBay just plain isn't worth it.
All the stuff I've seen exhibits a complete and utter lack of flux regardless of what the label might say.
You're better off buying a big roll from a reputable supplier. Considering the speed you go through it as a hobbyist it's really not that expensive, and the cost difference is worth it for the lack of frustration 😉
