Thank you everyone for MV / FP: first post I've ever made to get over a thousand votes.. thank you lovely internet weirdos of imgur <3

Nah, hobby project vs. work project lol. Guess which this is.

Now i know where the sample came from on Blackstreets "No Diggity"! THANK YOU

I bet you could make a tiny little wire bender that does this stuff automatically

How it was designed. As opposed to the shitshow you get when it's sold off the shelf after being assembled in China by minimum wage workers.

Nice breadboard layout – I'll use some of his overlay ideas. It's 2D and mine are 3D with provision for mechanical disassembly for accessibility. https://imgur.com/QAO12uM

Other items in that posting – not all related. Used Imgur as photo/video dump for some other sites. Left it public although never got many upvotes.
BoobJiggle
Okay, that's pretty gorgeous in itself too. Very nicely done
SidneyStratton
Thanks! It is a line-level power supply I built some 20 years ago. No electronics but a Variac type (a much different realm than your projects).
BoobJiggle
Am familiar with variacs :)

When is he going to solder it? He just keeps putting them in. Watching it for 15 minutes and nothing.
BoobJiggle
lol- at about 2½hours into the video he starts applying some silastic and then flips the board over to start soldering. You just got to give it some time and watch all the way through there kind internet stranger ;)
yesmaybenot
Thanks for that. Will do as soon as I finish watching this /gallery/NXWKNeK

Done just like someone designed it. I love the dedication to workmanship

I love this, but as someone who's worked with prototype electronics I know there's no way I would have the patience and dexterity to pull this off. My boards usually end up looking like a plate of multicolored spaghetti
chansuke
I find it way more efficient to have a rats nest breadboard then lay out a PCB design and ship that off to a fab house. I've done this sort of thing on a proto board (recently even), but if you have a working example circuit then it takes minimal time to layout a board after you've done a couple.
Thunderchunks
For some reason my Internet Poisoned brain is like, "those are cake, right?"
BoobJiggle
Certainly pretty enough to be
thatwoodguy
I have a handmade card of some kind for cool processing on I believe a '70s computer and it was all hand wired with I think 26 gauge wire which is incredibly fine.
lazybuthappy
There's love in that board
BoobJiggle
There really is, I'd wager he spends probably 15 minutes vending each piece of wire to get it perfect, I wonder how many failures he has
SwampApe75

Ain't nobody being paid to build electronics this way since 1987 XD that a student

I think it's more just a hobbyist, just doing it because he likes doing it

Thank you! Ima learn that shit on the guitar!
OmnipotentBeing
This is easier than learning how to make a printed circuit board?
BoobJiggle
I wouldn't necessarily say it's easier, but breadboarding electronics like this does help your brain kind of process everything that's going on, and I think it would make getting into circuit board design on a computer more intuitive
OmnipotentBeing
Maybe, but God that approach will drive you nuts. Learning how to do it the right way, from the beginning, would be more beneficial, for your sanity.
ShiftingPattern
This is just art. This is not a practical arrangement for wires on a breadboard.
TELunus
IMO breadboards are good for quick prototypes, PCBs are good for a more finalized version. Alas this prototype looks anything but quick.
evenelectronicbrainpancakecrystalelderly
it also really depends on what you're doing; I'm currently working on a SATA board, there's no way it'd work on a breadboard even if I could attach the parts to breakout boards that'd fit
OmnipotentBeing
Yeah, if it is just a prototype, bro is spending WAY too much time making it look purdy.
TELunus
Absolutely
Mezinov
Signal timing is optional for this assignment.
BoobJiggle
The lengths of wire that he's using, and the maximum clock speed of those LS chips, signal timing is more or less irrelevant. I'd be surprised if he could get that board to run at 20mhz- My guess is somewhere 1-5, if that
toolzgalore2
Man, mark that shit mature XD

Thank you, for some reason I was waiting for this response.
BoobJiggle
lol- and it's got to be something interesting, like I've no idea what he's building, but that first chip is a 74LS502 8bit successive approx register, which is a little bit beyond the scope of anything that I've bread-boarded

That is... very satisfying to watch, but annoying to listen to. I need a longer version!

Sadly he didn't upload a longer version, seems this guy's channel is mostly shorts.
https://youtu.be/n50KCWhBu9k?si=a0ua2MCJSqTxkfu6
ReluctantSir
I just went through his channel and damn... that is so cool. It also answered my question about if it was just art, or functional, working circuitry. It being BOTH, is so much more satisfying.
stoutde
Then you turn it upside down to solder and it all falls off

The EE equivalent to spending all day making a bone broth stock and accidentally tipping it all down the sink when you strain it.
Grandolddrummer
That's what I was waiting for
SofaH3ro

DoingItWrongSince1980
Then you get to fix it at time and a half.
bryst
They actually have machines that have pools of liquid solder you dip the underside of the board into and it solders all the points. It aint cheap, especially if its a one off board. but probably a hell of a lot easier time wise.
rahbeNoodleBandit
Wave soldering is completely standard for through hole components and not at all expensive. Making an actual pcb would also likely be both cheaper and more reliable, even just for a one-off, but it might take an extra day or two. This does look nice though.
Yakeshinu
Yeah, that's going to be a wave solder for me, my dude.
qwertdeep
I thought it was just a breadboard for prototyping that you don't need to solder, they wouldn't have such long pins to put in otherwise and printed circuit boards are much better for the wiring parts once you know where the components are going. I could be wrong though as I'm only an amateur messing with microcontrollers and related bits
Addmagnet
That's why you have 2 large slabs of foam on workbench - components on board sitting on one, put 2nd slab on top, turn upside down, solder
AzgarOgly
Probably they just put the bord into the bath of molten solder and it flows where it needs to.
OmnipotentBeing
darkninja2992
Not if you tape it all with strips of capton
RichardPotato
What if you were... inverted? And dripping solder on your face
stoutde
I used to work with someone who had a nasty scar on their neck from someone spilling a solder pot. Don't wish that on anyone.
BoobJiggle
More than likely he's got a whole bunch of silastic that he'll place to hold everything in position when he flips it to begin soldering
Ryebread91
Silastic? Like the book fair?
FrankieNoNose27
TussleTheCat
LMAO coffee just came out of my nose 😂
RelevantCommentBot
You are thinking Scholastic. Silastic is like Stretch Armstrong.
squillis
Stretch Armstrong is a toy from the 80s. You are thinking of murphey's law.
StewedTomaters
Ah, yes, Murphy, the archenemy of Dan Quayle.
JoeT85
Now let's see if it works.
giraffinator
It'll all probably get soldered at once from underneath

Tarmaccian
Not sure why this was downvoted; it's possible… A wave solder machine keeps a pool of molten solder, and it passes a wave across the bottom of a printed circuit board, soldering all the components on a few seconds. Now, I don't know if that's what's done in this particular case (I haven't watched the full source video), but it's definitely a valid method.
Defiantlyhavebetterthingstodo
This comment…..also
stoutde
That's how all mass manufactoring is done! You can't possibly ship a few million TVs, a few million cell phones, a few million laptops, etc without some automation.
chansuke
Nowadays lots of things can be done using surface mount parts then baking the boards to reflow solder paste. Wave soldering is still used, but far less than it used to be.
Oblok
Wow. That wire comes off of a spool and it has a natural curve to it. Just straightening it is no mean feat. Is there a mechanical aid?
SoupCanMan
It's solid core wire. Ypu don't have to fight 6-12 different strands to straighten it, just one. Copper is like any other metal, once you bend it.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I straightened mine by hand and it came from a bunch of scrap phone wire that the telco crew left on the sidewalk - mild copper has very little "springiness".
marsgoose
For short runs like that, I'd just roll it between two flats

It's a re-encode on Android, using native codecs, ripped from a YT short, original was webm(yuck) format- plays fine for me on Android using the imgur app. Maybe check your Linux codecs installs?
skipweasel
Seems to work ok here on a Windows desktop running Firefox.
Regeny
Fresh OS install. Linux Chrome works but not Linux Firefox hmm. Probably a codec thing.
Regeny
Yap. openh264 and mozilla-openh264
BoobJiggle
Strange, because it's a native Android re-encode from a webm rip off a YT short. (yt-dlp I love you- search github)
Regeny
Probably because webp is just the container, not the video codec itself
