frailn Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 That was beautiful.Why read ucapps.de and the forum and ask a bunch of questions when I could simply affix clothespins to my eyelids and put this video on repeat for 72 hours?

Benjamin Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Im going more for documentation for myself than an instructional.Ill put a warning: Do not under any circumstances copy what you see here - its most likely incorrect!!!(Searching for what GROT #1 means now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hehehehe, when I saw the topic, I thought it was a whole core soldered in 4 minutes real-time... I thought "wow, OK that's really fast!"nice video :)Nice video, but also disappointed... ;D surely it's not impossible to solder a Core in 4 minutes real-time?I might have to try it...

8O Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Cheers for all the nice comments. It's my first midibox attempt, so the actual time was 3-4 hours spread over 2 evenings (in between watching the Euro 2008 football :) )All the great documentation and pictures on the ucapps site made it very easy to build the board - thanks!Edit: actually, most of the time was spent twisting various items in and out of the pcb drill holes as many of the holes were too narrow for the intended device. I wonder if this is common, or just in the summer ;) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side by side, soldering race.... we just need a cute girl to stand between us and wave a flag to start the race :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Nice vid.I particularly liked the way you checked for coninuinity between a lot of the points.I wouldnt have thought of this, seems to be better to detect a problem before its finished,rather than spend a longer time trying to diagnose one.

8O Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I got some time to connect the LCD module last night and it works first time.DIN module up next and I may do another video for that - might aim for sub 2 minutes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 And the award for smallest LCD goes to......... ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8O Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 And the award for smallest LCD goes to.........Hehe, yeah, I know ;D - I searched on here for 2x8 LCD, but no real results, so I thought I might as well just try it. The core connector layout made it nice and easy. All that continuity checking on the core has paid off so far... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yep, the way the addressing works, the extra columns will just fall off into space. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabioldr Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Wow, that really inspired me to build my own board!!Sometime the video freaked me out, it seems like you're burning your finger!!Nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
