Extreme prototype board wiring techniques 

well.. you can use the adapter to dip format and finish the job with some wire wrapping(buy it, diy) i'm pretty sure you'll find it more fast and relaxing ;) don't underestimated wire wrapping ^^ (workmanship.nasa.gov/lib/insp/2%20books/links/sections/301_Discrete%20Wiring.html) it's always the ultimate tools to do reliable prototype

PCB design is easy. And stop making pcb etching look scary, it's not like you're handling radioactive materials

you can buy or make and order a adapter at this point. this isn't feasible lol. if you think it is you're crazy.

You are welcome! Nice to hear that you found it usefull!

U mean right now?

@@a.ijuhasz135 lmao

Let me tell you that proffesionals on electronics use these types of prototyping all the time, because they need the prototype right now, and they don’t have the time in order to wait their PCB manufactured in China, for you amateurs, it’s ok to wait a week for a PCB, not for a company who spend millions!

Cope. If the company has many resources they'll have some kind of machine that can print custom pcb's anyways.

​@@a.ijuhasz135Yeah, society collapsed 3 years ago.

+ArcanePath360 It is a homemade tool. You can make one yourself by disassembling a ballpoint pen and using the needle of a syringe. Glue the needle to the ballpoint pen shell, feed the wire through and you are done. You can add a small coil on top of the pen to contain the spool of wire, but that is mostly optional. There is not a lot of info about the construction of the wiring pen on the site of elmchan, but i hope this is enough info for you. Here is a picture of what the finished pen should look like: elm-chan.org/docs/wire/rc/wiring3.jpeg

+tHaH4x0r Cool. Thanks a lot for that. What kind of wire is it?

+ArcanePath360 32 awg UEW enamelled wire

+tHaH4x0r Thanks!

Very old comment, but it's not about the inexpensive nature of the PCB manufacturing, it is the time it takes to get them without paying an arm and leg for postage. But for some people this is a better option than the extreme level of prototyping shown here.

@@apocalypticentity7012 nothing could justify doing that these days. it's like trying to start fire by using stones when there is a button for that on every gas stove. unless you're not using a gas stove. but i can see its even more advanced technology being used as if it's a stone age.

@@nichtverstehen2045Do you really believe Chinese PCB manufacturers are making money selling 4 layer boards for a few bucks per board with enough to spare for aggressive advertising? Do you really believe at that price there's enough customers to justify those absurdly low prices? There's a million and one far more profitable products and services businesses a company can invest your precious capital on than manufacturing dirt cheap PCBs at low volumes. An astute observer would be skeptical. China is waging an economic war on foreign industries by dumping cheap product and services. Once they've devastated their local industries, they'll raise prices again. They can afford to do this because the Chinese government subsidies their industries. Moreover, there may might be another reason. By manufacturing PCBs, they'll have access to proprietary designs they can use to make competing products. I've seen this in the past where web designers outsourced their HTML production overseas. After a few months, they discovered their clients no longer needed their services. The overseas HTML production had won them over with lower costs.

XD

I worked in the lab next to where bgas were developed. Such language trying to get the solder to stick on the leads properly! M y PIND got a workout!

You can check out his website, elm-chan.org/docs/wire/wiring_e.html and see he has a lot of finished projects. Also, you have to realize that it has been only fairly recently that affordable PCBs have been available for hobbyists. Before that you didnt have a lot of choice except point to point wiring or strip board.

You can buy a nine dollar USB microscope

+pplobr Yes he counts on the soldering iron heat to remove the insulation. Although note that not all enamelled copper wire will strip at 330 degrees celcius (normal soldering temperature), for example the enamel of headphone wires often strips at around 380 degrees.

Sounds more like a really kawaii version of the meow mix song

It is called "enamel coated wire", "polyurethane enameled copper wire" or "enamalled wire". Sometimes it is also called 'magnet wire' since it is used for winding coils and transformers. The size used in the video is 0.2mm or 32 gauge.

bit weird...

lol silly guy

+Moji Karimi See my reply to ArcanePath360 in this comment section for information about the pen. I don't think you can buy them, everybody i know (including myself) made our own. I provided a picture of the pen in that comment for reference. Also, thanks for your comment and kind words!

Thnx for reply.i hope u or other guys whom made a pen look like this. Show me the steps or make a video regards.thnx

For larger boards this can be very much cheaper though. A large protoboard with holes will cost you only 1$. Having a pcb made like that will cost you at least 10+$, while risking mistakes plus the additional time of designing the pcb.

It is a wire dispensing tool made out of a ballpoint pen. For more information, see my older comment replying to ArcanePath360.

BTW: It actually helped me soldering!

RedstoneCraft PL Good to hear! According to youtube the song name is "クローバー・クラブ - ゆうゆ"

Thanks! :)

The song is ダルド - 砂嵐

+Penfold8 Yes, he states that anything between 0.16 and 0.2 mm (32AWG) is fine. I myself use 32 awg as well.

Working results included in the website in the description

Only since very very recently have PCBs become cheap enough for hobbyists. About 5 to 10 years ago, it was over 100$ to buy a single small sized PCB. Bless China for this recent development that makes your life a lot easier!

Vlad Vetrov это видео снято в 97 году, много ты тогда плат травил?))

Generally they are just called 'wiring pencil'. I believe there's commercial models available, but these are quite expensive for what they are. Generally people assemble their own together, using simply their favorite pencil, a blunted needle and a spool (ex. from sewing machines).

couse they are

He is just prototyping not entering a challenge with NASA!

You should keep in mind that until about 5 years ago, making a PCB with a PCB house costed a fortune, at least more than 100$ per board if you were lucky. And that was just 5 years ago, this video was originally made in 1997, 20 years ago!
