Resistors. 70 minutes.
Added 2020-07-17 22:28:33 +0000 UTCStarting with preformed resistors, time to insert and solder 70 minutes.
Now for the LEDs.

I have to form mine using a pair of pliers that are the correct width :( Talk about formative years! ;)

2020-07-26 15:37:15 +0000 UTCWhat would be cool Clive, would be to order these on a flexible PCB and line the inside of that arch behind you with a series of panels. An Archway to doom!

2020-07-23 07:07:44 +0000 UTCOne of this resistors is backwards

2020-07-18 03:47:29 +0000 UTCResistance is inevitable.

2020-07-18 03:26:36 +0000 UTCLooks interesting with a mix.

2020-07-18 01:45:20 +0000 UTCThat took less time than I could have done. I got my Gallium boats. I'm still waiting on the 1.5hz LEDs so I populated one with color changing, some slow, some medium and some fast.
2020-07-18 01:43:11 +0000 UTCIf that board fitted in the soldering frame, it must have been a bit easier. I'll be using blu-tak (thanks Julian lol) when my smaller boards arrive.

2020-07-18 01:16:38 +0000 UTCLooks good. That my friends takes a whole lot more patience than I have these days. Looking forward to the big reveal.
2020-07-18 00:19:04 +0000 UTCWill you be using 'Cracked' or 'Straw Hat' LEDs for those extra points of light?
Andrew Donaldson
2020-07-18 00:11:36 +0000 UTCLooks good. Will we see it working in all its glory tomorrow night?
2020-07-17 23:46:31 +0000 UTC220 ohm? I think that's what I saw you using so that's what I ordered. Got the LEDs from China last week, still waiting on resistors and perf board
2020-07-17 23:32:40 +0000 UTCReading the email which came, there's me thinking "How can Clive make a 70-minute video about resistors?" - thankfully I was wrong!!

2020-07-17 23:31:58 +0000 UTCThat's an interesting web site, thanks! This is my fav - had one until it got thrown out while I was away: http://www.starringthecomputer.com/computer.html?c=2

2020-07-17 23:30:17 +0000 UTCResistance is futile.

2020-07-17 23:29:29 +0000 UTCWaitaminute perfumed what now?
Michael Thompson
2020-07-17 23:28:32 +0000 UTCVERMILION HELLS YES! Rock on brother. That's 70 minutes of Zen for me man. It never lasts long enough. I reach for the next component and the thing is done. Sigh... happy sigh but sigh...
Michael Thompson
2020-07-17 23:27:47 +0000 UTCATX might be a bit of a stretch, and I'm sure Clive wouldn't want to be sitting/standing there soldering for hours on end.

2020-07-17 23:22:55 +0000 UTCYou put one in upside down! Just Kidding Good job,this will be a monster board surprise us with the Color! Nemo Out..

2020-07-17 23:04:31 +0000 UTCLooks like I might need one of these, to inspect.
Michael Gilchrest
2020-07-17 22:58:55 +0000 UTCThat thing is nuts. It's beautiful
2020-07-17 22:51:36 +0000 UTCMake that! full ATX size
Dr Andy Hill
2020-07-17 22:46:28 +0000 UTCOoooh! I assembled my first Gallium board last night with SMD resistors. Wasn't as bad as I was expecting once you get the feel for it. I can't wait to see how this thing looks when you're done. It'll be spectacular!
Brooks Andersen
2020-07-17 22:43:43 +0000 UTCGo with blue, but put one random white one in just to annoy anyone with OCD watching your live streams.
2020-07-17 22:37:47 +0000 UTCYou should of put a resister in reverse we could of all played where's the reversed resister whelst you do the leds to kill the time lol
2020-07-17 22:36:15 +0000 UTCA mix of colors? No need to rush through. Savor the peace of building
Kevin Hardisty
2020-07-17 22:36:07 +0000 UTCHow about something like this: http://www.starringthecomputer.com/computer.html?c=45 In particular, the nav computer from Batman the Movie.
2020-07-17 22:36:07 +0000 UTCI want to try that on a smaller panel first as I think each colour may need its own resistor value.
Big Clive
2020-07-17 22:35:42 +0000 UTCThey are indeed!
Big Clive
2020-07-17 22:35:05 +0000 UTCThis size in red would really look like something from the Connection Machine.
Matt Tester
2020-07-17 22:34:55 +0000 UTCclick that go live button, and get some company
Peter Stimpel
2020-07-17 22:34:46 +0000 UTCPartial to the yellow, has that neon look

2020-07-17 22:34:32 +0000 UTCNeil livestream is tomorrow π
Cerity
2020-07-17 22:33:48 +0000 UTCNice! I hope all the resistors are installed with the colour bands oriented the same way...
2020-07-17 22:33:37 +0000 UTCVery nice. β€οΈβ€οΈ if theyβre all mA capped why not fast change RGB
Cerity
2020-07-17 22:33:07 +0000 UTCAt this point I think he would force it to work even if he didn't lol
2020-07-17 22:32:28 +0000 UTCYou put the right value resistor in didnβt you?
2020-07-17 22:31:24 +0000 UTCNow you've built them, tile the ceiling with them.
adrian
2020-07-17 22:31:14 +0000 UTCHow about a livestream build for patreons tonight?
2020-07-17 22:29:57 +0000 UTCwhat about that RGB idea ?
Ruthsarian
2020-07-17 22:29:56 +0000 UTCI'd say red, green and blue
Basti Elektronik
2020-07-17 22:29:45 +0000 UTCIt's keeping you out of trouble I guess. π
2020-07-17 22:29:43 +0000 UTCWhich colour. Tough decision. I'm biasing towards blue.
