 Okie dokie, hey guys. I've got a kit here to build. I've had this one for a little while but I was a little bit scared about doing the SMDs, but as I very recently did a DS-138 with SMDs on there and didn't find it particularly, I mean it wasn't particularly easy because these things are so small. I know I'm going to lose them, but I'll get a battery in there. This is going to be fiddly. There's a load of LEDs. This is what it is. It's like a clock. And if I remember, yeah it has. This one's got a temperature gauge. Yolting as well. So I'll get to see how much I freeze over Christmas. Great. So yeah, this is what it is. It's a clock with a battery backup which is great. 4 LED jobby. These ones are a lot easier to solder than those separate ones. I don't know what chip it is. It's an 18 Mega I think. Sorry, 18 Mega. What are we going on about? Atmau 889S5224PC0510. If anybody knows the loadout on that. This board itself is a EC1204BV1.2, so version 1.2. Let's hope they rhyme out the bugs on version 1. One with LEDs, some headers, some electrolytic capacitors, some standoffs, and a momentary switch. USB, yeah there it goes. Let's get it all up. Momentary switches, USB or mini USB. Another momentary switch, some headers, electrolytic, just one. Oh we get a cable. Not sure what that's for. Plugging in obviously. But still, not sure what it's for. What you're going to plug a clock in for. There's a little chip there, a crystal, a buzzer, a socket for a battery, a socket for a 8 pin dip, and this one is a 40 pin. One, two, three, four, four, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Let's say 24 each side 48. I don't know, I can't count it. Can I count it? I should. One, two, three, four, four, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, three, four, six, eleven, twelve, three, four, five, fifteen, sixty, seventeen, eighteen, twenty. so it's uh right it's 40 pins we're gonna put this together i will probably do time lapse on the soldering just to uh speed things up a little bit and we'll see if it works because this is uh a lot of SMD but i'm not a lot but the majority of the capacitors there are all the capacitors by one electrolytic and resistors it's all in the SMDs i would suggest that you use a container and you know i'm not trying to teach the old players how to do anything this is just for complete newbies like me because yesterday when i was doing a project um a kit the other day before i lost one of these opening it up and it just it was gone just shut off today i did exactly the same thing i was really gently just trying to pull the plastic back and i don't know somehow it managed to pull itself back i had to like a bit of a and i pulled it in fine puff and off it went fortunately today's one i managed to find i've got like a cream carpet and it was difficult and just as i sat down it started moving everything out the way again i forgot how yeah right there i don't even think you can see it but right there but it all not is a resistor it's a 47k resistor there you go these things are so small um it's great it's great once you're taking to your head or start adjusting the brain or like i'm having to to keep an eye out for these and not forget that i can't just go like this i'm here anymore because if i've got any of these out it's a problem so i'm going to do all the 47 own resistors in one go so i've emptied them all from the strip into here with the other ones but they're all still in their little um tapes in the tape and i'm going to do one one strip at a time and this is literally just so i can keep an eye on where these little tiny things are really really good idea maybe even an idea for all the LEDs and so but these are big enough to see you drop one of these on the carpet and you're going to see it straight away you drop one of these on the carpet and you know depending on what color your carpet is like i say mine's cream and that can work for me it can work against me if it's sat upright and the dark side's showing i can see it but if it's sat downwards and it's just the white side the creamy one inside it's gone it's just gone and that's what happens with the one uh yesterday or the day before vanished lost it fortunately they've put enough just a few extra of each in that's how i was okay okay what's that cracking on with this okay okay i'm just reading the pdf subcon with this it's ec-1204 pv 1.2 and i'm reading the electronic welding assembly tutorials this seems pretty straightforward it looks like you're basically going with the same the same ways you would with most of these kits go off start with the smallest things first um see that give yourself problems you know i'm trying to put the small things i want you to already put the big things on the board and even yourself in this room put the smallest things on first and so that's what i'm gonna do i'm just allowing the the iron to heat up it says it's ready now i'm gonna start with these um 47 irons 47 resistors okay so r5 r11 r13 15 17 19 25 27 30 okay let's go look for those so there's the tape for it as per the usual of these i'm not gonna put anybody through the the the various tasks watching me i'm trying to push these things out and like all these because the the the tapes are not open i'm just gonna come out to one side just to get them out of it just to make it a little bit easier for me um and then as you can see them in the bottom there it's not i don't want too much but there they are little tiny unbelievable how small these are it's great but it's just unbelievable how small they are so put this down into position oh okay so let's start with the r5 and let's find the r5 to start off with but i'll see it straight away but i don't know where r5 is okay i'm just gonna start with the others there we go r13 r11 every process of narration right now i don't know how to put paste that i'll put this on let's use the pencil and for ease it's the pencil because even though you know this is showing us complete recovery this area with the flux it's not uh we'll just go and see what happens let's see if i can do this like a machine oh let's turn on the second one safety first and all that so i'll use my toe to switch it on and move the desk in let's get in with our first i'm not gonna be a stickler and try and put all these on the correct way around i'm just gonna be happy if i can just get them out of reasonable fashion it's very hard trying to look through the lens to get that to touch that i've got to do it in my life oh and that's not working much better why not oh that's helpful yep that's fun isn't it i can't actually see some days my eyes work some days my eyes don't work as well oh there's shakes on the go and i think the trick with this is to um maybe i could just go around put them all one part on first yeah that could save quite a bit of time and effort yeah i could save a lot of time and effort if i just do one side first just tack it into place and then uh it just means i've already got to turn it around you know the once and i'm hoping that's gonna make the speed process up a little bit because it is quite easy to be quite neat with these we're saying that maybe i shouldn't say like that i'll start going up all over the place like now i've been quite scared to do this little kit because it was the first one i bought and i didn't realize that it was um surface mount and that was the same as the dso 138 i didn't realize that was surface mount i don't know i was a bit too much sold on there so it's actually gone to another pad but i'm gonna worry about that when i come to put a 10k resistor on it go into fapping with it now i'm just gonna get these 400 centi oh oops i dropped that one so flip it over oops all right this is there we go let's uh let's hope this one's not trying to escape um 19 25 20 30 15 30 so i'm just gonna put those numbers into my head again but i'm trying to place it now with my left hand so i did too bad and this time i'm not gonna put so much solder on me i am a little tiny bit a little tiny bit of solder you know it's still not the neatest i've still got plenty to figure this out but i don't have you know all the best equipment to do the best job let that go here i looked at the screen so i can see uh see the numbers again i made a video the other night of my like little workspace and i've used um the videos from Dave james and and others to try and work out how to set up the little workbench the hobbyist workbench not a professional i'm not i'm not a professional doing any of this just a hobby hobbyist um and my real goals are um that i want to have some employment that i can have from home that will earn me enough money to live on a boat i want to live on a boat i really do like the idea of living on a boat um and that is what i'd really like to do but in order for me to do that i've got to be able to have enough money to live um okay it's sort of disguised right my r6 now i suppose a lot of people would be able to see that straight away but in actual fact i think i didn't see it before i started doing this yeah so that's what i'm going to do now i know that once i'm on a boat it doesn't really cost that much for living it's not like having a house and um and i do like the solitude some people don't some people do i like the solitude it is good you know to to go and chat to other humans from time to time and i agree with that but i do like the idea of having more of an adventure of life to me isn't really much of an adventure if you're just doing the same thing day in and day out same place of work you know whatever um and to me it doesn't seem to be that much of an adventure if i were to have a a narrow boat and live on the rivers and canals in my narrow boats to me every day would be an adventure because that's the sort of environment where the weather plays a crucial part in how you live your day and i really quite like the idea of having that i mean at the minute you know apart from paying the bills um and just a little general sort of maintenance where i live there's not a great deal to live in where i live i rent where i live i don't i haven't bought where i live i rent and i'd like to go to buy a boat so i don't have to rent um because i just think it's just throwing you know good money after bad type thing well i shouldn't say i mean it says you've got to be able to give somebody money for somewhere to live but i pay quite a lot of money where i live and i know that i should live with that money and not much more quite comfortably on the boat i'm getting into the later years of my life now so i don't intend on doing any more family type things multiplying or anything like that i've done that thank you i have two daughters and both of them very well and happy well you know it's life's difficult sometimes for everybody so happiness is something you can perceive a little bit more to whether it is actually reality or not but yeah that's all happy and that's good that makes me happy where's our 13 i don't know what time it's 13 so yeah so that's the reason why i decided to get into something that i could do that was going to be an actual benefit to myself and to others i wanted it to be something that i had to you know into your skin and stuff just goes on to the um goes on to the strings and doubles mountain well it's not not the greatest combination 27 is there not the greatest combination oil and guitar strings does anybody that plays a guitar tell you now i'm not great at playing a guitar i can strum a few tunes out you know whether anybody would recognize them from what you sound like in my head so that's what it actually sounds like coming out of the guitar and to be fair i haven't really gone into playing for quite a while and that can that boogers up your fingers because your fingers when you play the guitar sort of get toughened up and it blooming out that's to start playing again especially you've got to get through the pain barrier i am doing the right ones yeah okay i've got there's five left in there i can't mark it off because it's on the computer screen i didn't print these uh i didn't print these out and if they sent if they sent any i didn't have them but these do look like they're in a nearly sort of water so i'm just five there i need our 11 13 15 13 is done 15 is done 17 is done 19 is done 25 13 15 17 9 to 25 so 27 30 27 is done so i just gotta find 30 and 11 um hiding about the place somewhere just check all that again i'm 30 oh 30 i've done 30 30 is done there so i just need to do 11 okay let's try this again r5 r11 r13 r15 r5 r11 r13 r15 17 19 25 27 30 17 19 25 27 30 okay they're all done oh who i entered too long i don't like uh no so i don't need the one to spare now so i've got a whole bunch of that's just a little page 42 r7 r8 r9 r10 okay that's on the other side i'll set yeah okay r7 eight nine thank you well i know with them we're three of them last week that was done oops oh it's much better having this um the other day when i was doing the little dsa 138 i i i tipped about four or five onto the side here and with my first movement i turned it around putting one arm going back i couldn't find anyone so i told myself then go on you've got to stop uh you can't you can't just have them loose they've got to be in something and so that's what the little tray one of my friends asked me about like living on a boat and would i uh would it bother me about being closed space yeah because they're not very big but i don't know if it bothered me too much i think what bothered me more is the ability to be able to shower and use the you know basically use the bathroom i must remember i'm going to go around all the other sides of these that i haven't i'm actually finished just because um and so there is that part keeping clean i mean if you don't have enough water you can always have a horse back can't you you know i'm a great believer in baby wipes anyway those uh those unscented pure baby wipes uh they come in great keep them in the good box of your car or something you know so if you're out there and you do decide to eat some sort of dodgy fast food restaurant place another concern that we're going on about is i get loads of components sent to me um i mean okay not loads but enough for me to um so i can get on and do some stuff you know in kick form or i've been reading a lot more now um on little circuits and i'm gonna start building up various 555 time circuits um for doing all sorts of things yeah that's a little bit messy but you know my my soldier on this isn't very good for some reason the solder seems to be dragging upwards a little bit and i can see you i don't know is that because i've never got it on hotter or something i don't know maybe i should uh try some experiments but i do know that when i have got it on hotter uh our seminar at 19 i um it sort of it you know knuckles up the end of it and by that mean i just mean it gets dirty it sort of burns the flux or whatever it is and it's just a bit more dirty and then you gotta spend a lot more time cleaning the damn thing and even though i'll tin it at the end of when i'm using it or if i leave it for any period of time i always just put a little bit of solder on the end like that and then turn the temperature down to 250 if i need it you know on but i don't just need it on constant on the high heat and it's still it's it's like pulling up like a like a like a meringue you know lemon meringue pie and you and you whip it up and the meringue sticks up like a bit of a mountain that's what's happening here it's so at eight nine where's ten where's ten then i've only got oh there it is then i've only got one one of these left after that i need to get myself a little train out because these are called so quite important of these i can't just throw it out thinking oh well it's so small i wouldn't throw out one of my other resistors even though i just found the resistor on the floor you know and i've got two lots of resistors i've got the metal metal film juggies metalized film juggies and i'm going to see up the carbons whole bunch and i wouldn't because i see one lying around i wouldn't throw it out i'd figure out which one it is and put it in the appropriate place a bit tight like that i suppose yeah so it is nice clean iron i'm just a smidgen of solder does the job oh even though that could probably do a bit more solder a bit funny sometimes the way the light hits it but anyway now i'm going to go around and do all the i've done all the right sides i'm going to do all the left sides now but at least i won't need that anymore i can just uh just dab a bit of solder and just go hopefully this is the way it's going to work out because i can just dab a bit of solder a little bit of solder on the end and that's it and this will be a nice i'm going to do all the right sides like so i can't tell which side i've done these are the right sides well i'm not trying to get any wards for my for my smd solder work i don't actually think i'd try and get any wards for any more solder work so if anybody was wondering this is a good idea to um well i can see better no i don't know what i was going to say then it was a good idea to i don't know but it was a good idea to just do around doing the one side because i could have for after i'm with this oh that's a good idea to speed up this process need to do time-lapse video rather than actually have me uh jibbing on as well though i'm keeping myself entertained it can't really be good i've got there's nothing i can tell you about this clock that i haven't already said it's got temperature control right i'm gonna make sure i don't miss any of these even though it looks like we've got them all yeah so that's what that's on my wife that's 30 minutes so that has taken quite a bit of time so i think i will um i'll go fast forward through these but i'm gonna make a patino so i'll talk to you in a minute
