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?
aaaaaaahhhhhh the CORE, source of all kind of pleasure…
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 ![]()
Heyyy!! are you reading my mind :o… i was planning to do the same thing :-...
Mine will be a bit different though… see you when i finish practicing ;D
Well I was going to recommend against it… at least… for newbies… See GROT #1
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!!!

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…
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

I’d go with “Don’t try this at home, kids!” ;D

Wilba, we can have a core-off… Side by side, soldering race… we just need a cute girl to stand between us and wave a flag to start the race ![]()
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.

Definitely, that was my favourite part!
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. ![]()
And the award for smallest LCD goes to…
;D

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… ![]()
Yep, the way the addressing works, the extra columns will just fall off into space. ![]()
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

Hehe, only a couple of times - no permanent scars. ![]()
