Projects With Ryan Slaugh: Custom Proto Shield
There are a lot of different shields out there for Arduino. However, sometimes there arises a need to make your own. Even more plentiful in the world of electronics are integrated circuits that do a lot of nifty things. Some control output, some input, and some are sensors. In this edition of Projects with Ryan Slaugh I show you how to make your own custom proto shield.
Circuit Skills: Perfboard Prototyping, sponsored by Jameco Electronics
[Note: Jameco is currently offering all the parts I used in this video as a perfboard prototyping kit — just add wire & solder. ] When you think “DIY electronics,” one of the first images that likely comes to mind is of parts and wire soldered to a standard piece of perforated circuit board — […]
Lego printer powered by Wiring board
What can you make with felt-tip markers, a Wiring board, sensors, motors, and LEGOs?
Wiring prototyping boards with thin copper wire
This looks like an easy way to hook things up on a protoboard: Using 0.3 mm insulated copper wire. I solder to the wire tips at approx. 400 degree Celsius first (that burns the insulation) and at 310 degree Celsius finally. Not to fast though – needs some patience… A way to wire prototype boards […]
