If you're in the US, any Walmart will have a jewelry forming pliers set in the crafting section.

@Otakunopodcast 3 года назад

Save your cut-off parts legs! They can be extremely useful. I use them frequently for making power/ground buses when soldering components together on perfboards. If you snap a leg off a chip, as long as you didn't snap it off entirely (the top part of the leg where it enters the chip is still intact) you can solder on a cut-off lead to make a quick and dirty repair. They can also be used for repairing broken traces on circuit boards. And you can throw them at annoying coworkers like little tiny needle darts. :) (Okay, maybe that's not such a good idea...)

@renakunisaki 3 года назад

More tips: Use consistent colors! In DC circuits red should always be + and black should always be -. I personally like yellow for clock, green for data, white for analog. I have to break the rules occasionally, but it makes things much easier. Once you've cut one wire, use it to measure additional cuts for the same length. Wire is cheap, and you can always cut it again. Don't be afraid to cut off more than you need. I have a set of red/black wires tying the voltage rails together for each breadboard. They're basically permanent. They can be removed as needed, but each board has its own pair. Good breadboards have little indents and nubs on the sides so they can actually snap together! If you need to strip an extremely thin wire and your tools can't do it without breaking it, you can melt the plastic off with a soldering iron. Just be sure you have a good fume extractor (melting plastic gives off toxic fumes), clean the crud off the iron afterward, and do it on a table you don't mind marking the surface of. Also, ensure no pets or toddlers eat the waste plastic! If something isn't working, don't forget to test the wires themselves! They can break or be defective too!

@alfredlily 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your experience . I also use wires of different colour instead of jumper wires I use wires in big projects I also connect data pin , power supply , gates input and output etc...

@Bromon655 7 месяцев назад

I’ve had great success stripping 22 gauge wire by simply taking a small pair of scissors and gently squeezing around the circumference of the wire, never applying enough pressure to snip the wire but enough to cut the coating.

@ivolocoso6989 5 месяцев назад

Adding to this, if you are working with audio/headphone/transformer cables (where there isn't an insulation sleeve, but instead there is just enamel) you can remove it by heating the soldering iron way more than you need and holding the cable over a molten drop of solder for a couple seconds, you can also burn/sand the insulation off, but in my experience this way is easier and faster.

@edwardpaulsen1074 Год назад

This was quite the excellent video and covered nearly everything I learned over almost 50 years of direct experience, including wire wrapping. There is only one bit of caution that I would like to add and that is "Bend Radius"... For the most part, these wires will likely be bent only once and will stay that way, however if these will be used repeatedly especially if it may get adjusted at the corner of the bend then one should take that into account. Bend radius varies depending on wire or cable type with larger wires or cables having a larger radius multiplier. Small wire (under 14Ga) has a minimum bend radius of three times OD, solid wire 12Ga or larger is six times the OD and for stranded that can go between 7 to 12 times the OD (larger multipliers are for really heavy gauges far beyond hobby levels) In this case, using 22 Gauge solid wire, the most likely OD is going to be 0.06 inches which, when multiplied by the 3x factor gives you 0.18 inches radius which is slightly over 3/16th inches or a bit larger then going around a standard pencil. This should be taken into account in final builds where there may be vibration or other movement that may occur. This is to prevent fatiguing the wire too much and breaking it, perhaps inside the insulation where troubleshooting can become very difficult! As I said before, maintaining that bend radius for breadboards is not as vital as it is generally a very temporary circuit but if it gets directly transferred to a perf-board with solder that can quickly become a problem and it is better to turn those best practices into a habit early on to prevent headaches down the road.

@FPiorski 3 года назад

I measure wires the other way around - I lightly squeeze them with the flush cutter right where the isolation needs to end, then eyeball the cut point from that mark and then strip it right on the mark. I also use the same automatic Knipex tool you've shown even for short links by bending the other end of the wire back, then the tool reaches far enough to make even 0.1" links (the particular wire brand I have has no problem withstanding those additional two bends, I guess results may vary). With that being said, I'm definitely not trying to say my way is better or anything, it's just what I do. Thanks for the video!

Ben, thank you so much for putting this out. We have followed your channel for a long time now and even made a couple little videos on my kids channel (fritzbuild3r) on your clock. We bought a ton of chips and boards and we completely got hit by the cheap-board problem. Our issue is the wiring of the components is so thin it doesn't make proper contact. We then swapped over to making the registers and ALU using adafruit 'perma proto' boards, but it defeats the purpose of testing with breadboard! Now that you have kits I will absolutely be ordering for you. I just have to say we really enjoy these videos and as a former teacher, I find your lessons stellar.

I got 2K EEPROMs and breadboard coming in. Adding wire stripper to my shopping list.

@PixelSchnitzel 3 года назад

Excellent tips! Your videos *greatly* improved my breadboarding after decades years of tinkering. THANK YOU. I have 3 tips to add: 1) I finally pried ~$75 out of my wallet for a Patco PTS-10 thermal stripper on eBay. Best prototyping money I ever spent. I set the depth for 0.3" and can prep bazillions of wires in very little time. Less work / more prototyping! Also, wire nicking can never happen, so ALL my wiring work has improved. Bonus: Good enough for NASA! 2) Keep a set of disposable medicine cups (great for mixing epoxy too) to organize red & black wires for jumping to the bus bars (0.3 and 0.4" insulation length). These wires are used in great numbers and having a bunch on hand will save you time & keep things neat, even if you use random wires for everything else. 3) I keep a 6" scale graduated in 1/10" increments so I can simply count holes, add 0.6" and prep a wire using the ruler. When the breadboard is getting busy, that makes life easier.

Hey Ben, I love your videos! I made the 8 bit breadboard computer for my uni project. Each part was separately working just fine, the RAM, the clock, the ALU....everything worked just fine by itself. But as soon as I wired everything together, things started to fall apart. At first I thought the issue was power supply, so I got a hefty bench power supply. Sadly, that too didn't work. Then I realised that the breadboards you are using are like 10x better than the ones I was using! It's really hard to get those breadboard here in India, and being a student I couldn't afford your kit. But anyway, thanks for making these videos, really love them!!

@@lutyanoalves444 I did that on a through-hole refurb. I didn't have the right resistor so I used two in series making a kind of hump. I put heatshrink over the pair to be extra confident. It was a bloody stupid circuit with a transistor in linear mode controlling a power load. - - - I also added a hoofing great heatsink that came from a washing machine busted circuitboard. Ah, and of course I didn't realise that the body of the transistor is 'earthed' at the collector. Alas that was +12V vs. 0V on the chassis ground. I got a burnt trace. I jumpered it. I can't remember why I needed to change the base resistor! [I do know why I wanted to add a heatsink, though].

@BFLmouse 3 года назад

A trick that I use for measuring how much to strip is to use the pliers as a measuring tool. When I use the pliers to bend the end of the wire, I use the cutters to trim off any excess bare wire sticking out past the pliers. The result is a perfect strip length every time.

@CastleVintners 3 года назад

Thanks! Lovely technique. When it comes time for the soldered board, I like to use zero ohm resistors as jumpers rather than wire jumpers, whenever possible. No stripping required, the leads are tinned, they solder so easily, the small expense is worth the ease and slightly faster construction, for me.
