Rough (very) cut Episode 39
Added 2024-10-18 18:16:51 +0000 UTCDon't feel obliged to watch this. This is very much part of the editing process, one we use all the time: a rough cut to give us an idea of where we are and how much we still need to shoot.
It's not finished. We still have some pieces to camera and B roll to shoot and I've done nothing about the credits, levels and the transitions and general tidying up, so please don't think it's anywhere near ready.
The main aim is to get some feedback of whether it actually makes sense. I think it mostly does, but as we've been so close to it for so long, it's hard to see the wood from the trees.
I'm not going to promise to act on every piece of feedback, but I'll listen to them all.
Let us know what you think. There'll be more detail in the Howie but as always we want the main video to trip along without getting too bogged down.
Thanks for your help and sorry it's taken so long. We really appreciate you lot, we really do.
Cheers,
Nik and Richard.

My guess is that this is only for prototyping and getting everything just how they want it, then once they're satisfied they'll have it made with a more traditionally manufactured PCB.

2024-10-24 21:40:32 +0000 UTCI used to have a subaru that kept shoeing the fuel level after the ignition was switched off. I always found that a handy feature as you could always easily see the fuel level even without the keys. So you could keep that since you can program the arduino any way you want :) not a big thing but worth considering.. great rough cut :) amazing overenginering as always.. did not expect you could extenextend that to the electronics but you did and thank goodness for that!

2024-10-24 20:06:07 +0000 UTCFair dinkum!
Frans Wilbrink
2024-10-24 19:53:02 +0000 UTCWe just replaced the original blade type pins with ones that will fit into the round receptacles we fitted to the board.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-24 19:53:00 +0000 UTCI was confused about that bit too...
Frans Wilbrink
2024-10-24 19:50:49 +0000 UTCI loved the angle grinder to the board bit! It wouldn't be a binky episode without an angle grinder! Same for the 'board holders' while being worked on. Perfect blend of electronics and gorrilas with hammers style :)
Frans Wilbrink
2024-10-24 19:46:02 +0000 UTCAnother thought, would what would happen if you faced off the pcb board so the glass fibers were exposed and loose, would the solder solidify into them ?
Louis
2024-10-23 13:18:27 +0000 UTC👍🚙👍🤡👍🖊️👍🫣👍🤬👍 Keep the madness coming fellas. But maybe think about putting some outtakes in as fillers for your diehard fans 🤞🤙
Brian Smith
2024-10-23 09:14:21 +0000 UTCI'm not a EE, and I can guarantee those solder traces will fail. The E39 BMW 5-series has similar solder traces in its DSC module, and they fail pretty dang often. A quick google for "E39 trifecta" will yield the symptoms.

Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-21 21:22:46 +0000 UTC... So that's three of the six dials dialed in. Now on to the 3x 52mm jobbies. These will need wiring from the main cluster to adjust the brightness of the freshly installed (how will that be done?) dimmable LEDs. Oh! Arduino controlled brightness means the entire dash lighting could be configured as a Shift Light! Especially considering that thing about the gauge lighting we're not allowed to talk about. Thank me later. :-)
Phill Glasson
2024-10-21 20:44:10 +0000 UTCAbsolute madness, love it. Looking forward to watching the finished episode as well.
David Lundin
2024-10-21 18:59:25 +0000 UTCAlso on my 3rd watch through.... Burp.
Keith Hache
2024-10-21 14:21:22 +0000 UTCNo, you are right. All feedback greatly appreciated.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-21 12:06:59 +0000 UTCMess was the wrong word choice. Trying to give thoughtful feedback before 7am is a challenge. : )
Lorenzo
2024-10-21 11:54:14 +0000 UTCThe opening hadn't been completed for this draft so I trust the full explanation will meet with your approval. Thank you.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-21 11:50:52 +0000 UTCDid Nik say “7 year older Celica?” Is that right? It didn’t make sense to me. There’s been more and better explanation here in prose of the reasons for a full dash replacement. At the end of the litany of problems segment, you explain “The lights are too dim and the boost gauge doesn’t match” and LED’s don’t help. You then make a leap to “we’re going to start from scratch” which I don’t think was adequately explained. Suggestion: show the stock dash, alone, explain why it’s no longer useable. Show the aftermarket dash it in the car at the appearance 2 years ago. State that Nik thought it was the answer then explain why it doesn’t match the standard of the rest of the car. At that point, pause, maybe a spongebob “two years later” meme, and point out that if the solution were a bracket and some lathe work it would have been five minutes of funk, but the monkeys had to iteratively prototype with an entirely new set of skills as long as it took. The rest is skookum. Loved it!
Lorenzo
2024-10-21 11:43:57 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed watching this, I think however this episode with the finished cluster should be more of a "Howie did it" rather than a separate episode. Either way I'm happy to get another video to watch
Daniel O'Donoghue
2024-10-21 02:59:04 +0000 UTCI didn't think I would watch this and the final version of this, but now I must.
Scott MacLean
2024-10-21 01:28:09 +0000 UTCIt is absolutely making sense to me. I do wonder about how rugged it will be in the real world but we can all find that out together :)
Scott MacLean
2024-10-21 01:17:14 +0000 UTCI knew you were crazy, I had NO idea you were THIS crazy.
Scott MacLean
2024-10-21 00:40:17 +0000 UTCAs an EE, I'm rendered moderately speechless, but I can't argue that you didn't get a working prototype out of it. That said, having designed boards for automotive aftermarket products, PLEASE convert that to a real PCB at some point. Those solder tracks, even in epoxy, won't survive rally. Nice work though. Seriously.
Dave-o
2024-10-21 00:17:43 +0000 UTCIt's a joy to see someone cocking about in much the same way as I do.
Martin Dix
2024-10-20 21:39:11 +0000 UTCYou guys are mad 🎉😂
Ealoken
2024-10-20 17:39:44 +0000 UTCOn the flip side, we've now got a working prototype that we can get made properly to our specifications. Don't forget, we're not electronics engineers, we're barely evolved monkeys with a selection of welders.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-20 13:34:40 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the inevitable troubleshooting an intermediate fault, that’s actually due to one of those printed tracks fatiguing and breaking. CNC PCB prototyping was created exactly for this purpose. This is going to have all the disadvantages of point to point wiring without any of the advantages.
Euan Lindsay
2024-10-20 10:54:29 +0000 UTCPrinted solder? Well I've never heard of that before! Just as long as you can make sure it all stays stuck on the board! This episode is almost as fascinating as the one where Nik managed to alter the clutch pedal action (I still cant quite get how that works btw). I'm somewhat into electronics and arduino stuff and certainly appreciate the learning curve. This has to be so near production quality as to make a mockery of average home built car electronics I'm sure you've thought of his but I bet subscribers would like also understand the full trials and tribulations of how long it took to get you here
Stephen Pegrum
2024-10-20 10:30:55 +0000 UTCWait for the beep.... Yep! I can see now why car manufacturers are delivering virtual dashboards via screens rather than gauges. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.......

Simon Ludborzs
2024-10-20 03:46:57 +0000 UTCYou magnificent insane idiots, I almost had an emotion when the 2001 music kicked in. As an Electronics Engineer, let me introduce you guys to bodge wires: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupportgore/comments/pjjcwy/is_this_how_you_install_a_processor/#lightbox Yes you can rework a Professional PCB :) The fact you printed and transferred traces to rework the servo motors, wow! Your 7805 regs might run a little toasty - at 250mA they are dropping over2 watts of heat (13.8 - 5 = 8.8V across the regulator, * 250mA = 2.2W) and might cause issues (long term heating of the PCB and lots of thermal cycles could cause those solder traces to fail). You can get switching regulators in the same package / form factor that will run much much cooler. Lastly, please consider getting a professional PCB made for installing into Binky - even when encapsulated in expoxy I would not trust those solder traces for a long life. All hail Binky.
Simon Ludborzs
2024-10-20 01:47:00 +0000 UTCAs an electrical engineer, some of this episode pained me to watch, especially the angle grinder to the PCB. The result is great though. I might suggest applying some cover film to keep it all together and free from dusty circuit shorts over time. As much as I would have loved to help with PCB design and possibly get the car on the road quicker, I think we all know what we signed up for here from the title of the channel and the dedication to doing it your way is commendable. Keep up the effort and thanks for taking us all along for the ride.

2024-10-20 00:23:06 +0000 UTCThat's all for episode 40.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-19 23:14:47 +0000 UTCI don't know enough about it to say, but I'm pretty sure that adapting current known things for new purposes is patentable. Probably worth looking in to.
Phillip Spowart
2024-10-19 20:54:46 +0000 UTCNot sure you can TBH.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-19 20:45:51 +0000 UTCRidiculous I know.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-19 20:45:33 +0000 UTCYes, agreed. We have taken that into account and have been experimenting with the Arduino sketch to do exactly what you have suggested.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-19 20:44:45 +0000 UTCNic and Richard, I've watched through the rough cut (excellent indeed it is!) and am glad you've made the idiot light colours symmetrical. I do have a concern with the replacement of bi-metal strip gauges. Bi-metal is quite slow in responding to current changes. This behavior acts as an averager over a few seconds and becomes most important in a fuel gauge where the float bobs up and down as the fuel sloshes around even in a baffled tank. In the demo of the servo control from the pot there seemed to be an almost instant response to input. Watching the needle flutter up and down will be annoying in itself, but even more so will be the incessant flashing of the low fuel LED when approaching and after the low fuel condition. I can only trust you've implemented some kind of smoothing/averaging to steady the PWM output to the servo and that the LED is controlled by said smoothed PWM output value rather than the float input value.
Phill Glasson
2024-10-19 20:42:48 +0000 UTCLooking forward to it!
Stanislav Štrba
2024-10-19 20:18:43 +0000 UTCI know what you mean re. Howie, but it's hard - with the footage we've shot - not to. And this isn't the Howie! That's to come...
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-19 20:13:31 +0000 UTCI'm so glad that you have never told "Yep, those re-soldered LEDs will do..." I think that seeking of perfection is what brought us all to this project. You should patent this method of madness, but pure genious. :D IMHO this is more episode of Howie Did It, than ep. 39, but man, I'm so glad to see next episode and that you didn't give up (I know I would 76 times by now)!
Stanislav Štrba
2024-10-19 19:55:13 +0000 UTCWow. Simply wow. I am truly speechless. What an effort. 👍
Sebastian Martin
2024-10-19 19:31:24 +0000 UTCWow! That definitely explains the wait. Learning all that electron wizardry had to have been a brain basher. Stopping Nike from suck starting the soldering tool had to be hard. Loved the 3d printer board.
William Draper
2024-10-19 16:27:06 +0000 UTCWould love a joke about about doing this all in cardboard aided design followered by some shoulder obstructed mad grinding to "make" the board. Showing a quick blip of a nearly finished impressive board. Then another joke about how you've spent the time drinking on a beach somewhere.
Ian McDonald
2024-10-19 15:08:34 +0000 UTCOutstanding work gentlemen. Challenging and long awaited as it may be, the sheer scale of your journey cannot be underestimated. Looking forward to the full version.
Nick Thornhill
2024-10-19 14:46:55 +0000 UTCThat's our thinking too.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-19 13:50:39 +0000 UTCThe good thing is, they can now easily have an actual pcb made with the final design. I also think this will not hold up. Solder is pretty brittle, and vibration is the absolute death of it.
Djordje Blaga
2024-10-19 13:45:10 +0000 UTCAbsolutely magnificent content as well as everything else all the time. Thanks! I feel priviliged watching this 😍 "Printed circuit board" quite literally 😃
Andris Bumbieris
2024-10-19 13:10:31 +0000 UTCI really hope you've looked into patenting this stuff
Phillip Spowart
2024-10-19 11:29:06 +0000 UTCThere were no CAD brackets…..what is the world coming to
Andy the Racecar
2024-10-19 09:00:18 +0000 UTCi can see you guys having lifespan issues with the LED's and voltage regulators you have chosen, ideally they need some form of heatsink (as some one who works with a lot of SMT LEDs i've done more then my fair share of replacement of heat failed LEDs)
Sociopathic Llama
2024-10-19 08:35:02 +0000 UTCVery happy to see!! Yes the gauges were awful! Got as far as there I’ll wait for the finished version 🙂 Edit. Just finished, as someone who tried to replace a few surface mount push switches on a board for a mixer in work (I sent it out in the end) I salute you 🫡. Looks like I need an even smaller soldering iron and 10x the patients… Still concerned about the longevity of the solder traces, would it be worth adding a support over them electrical varnish? Or glassing a mat over them?
Louis
2024-10-19 07:34:50 +0000 UTCCan't help but think that having 5 or 6 or 10 iterations of conventionally fabricated PCBs run off would have been cheaper and faster, but hey, somebody's gotta do the mad science. Then again, I'm coming at it from the angle where I know how to bodge a PCB I screwed up the design of, and already mostly know what not to do.
EyeMWing
2024-10-19 07:01:09 +0000 UTCLads! Excellent work as always… you are on track. I can’t believe minutes 22 & 23 😱 A suggestion would be; maybe a little about the trials and tribulations to get you to this point? It is probably in the bits you are completing. Enjoyable as always. Thanks.
Charmandize
2024-10-19 06:32:15 +0000 UTCIs 'light fettling' how farmers in Shropshire describe neutering livestock? Watching Nik chop components off of that daughterboard seems like the definition of 'Rough Cut'. 😂
Derek van Veen
2024-10-19 04:23:51 +0000 UTCWell worth the wait, looking forward to the extra humorous ptc's in the final edit. Top quality as usual.
Ike Andoit
2024-10-19 03:26:12 +0000 UTCGreat stuff. The “3d” printed solder is an excellent idea. Just one thought. Typically we patrons get videos 24 hrs ahead of general release? I think after 2 years of paying with no content, a bit more consideration of time might be nice?
David Crellin
2024-10-19 01:29:52 +0000 UTCTook me back to first day in electrical engineering at uni. Well the soldering tails onto circuit boards anyway. Good to see the rough cut. You might need to explain why the sockets were soldered then cut off the speedo and rev counter. Otherwise all makes sense to me.
David Stuart
2024-10-19 01:16:34 +0000 UTCSuperFastMatt would approve of "...a little light lathing...".
Phill Glasson
2024-10-19 00:57:02 +0000 UTCI would love to see a Stat for total tea consumed on this project :)
Carlin Comm
2024-10-18 23:50:43 +0000 UTCWow :) Well Done!
Carlin Comm
2024-10-18 23:49:52 +0000 UTCFuck me. Never thought this would happen. I remember discovering BOM. My hair had color then. I love this shit and really hoping you will follow the rabbit all the way.
Per Roswall
2024-10-18 23:42:26 +0000 UTCGood, well structured video. Just need to get Nick to comb (or angle grind?) whatever's left of his hair for the PTCs. Looking forward to seeing the final cut. Will we get a sneak peek at the whole thing (dial faces etc) put together? More importantly, how thick is the instrument cluster now, how much thinner is it than the original, will it fit, and what are the tolerances you're working to?
James Aston
2024-10-18 23:37:13 +0000 UTCIt does tend to get a bit into the weeds at times. Definitely looking forward to the Howie Did It five part extravaganza with extra soldering action!
William Squier
2024-10-18 23:35:13 +0000 UTCThanks tons fellas. This is a great video. I feel your shots of solder work are going to receive lots of comments. There's droll and then there's the gauge io mounts... Looking forward to your final cut.
Ira McCully
2024-10-18 23:31:07 +0000 UTCNot down here in the prison colony! New binky is the best way to start a weekend.
Cam Maxwell
2024-10-18 23:15:02 +0000 UTCA very big Wooo and an equally large amount of hoooo!! And you even managed a bit of grinding action for us perverts. Thank you thank you thank you xxx Mr Fibbles won’t be cross anymore and Ralph will be very proud. Brackets are still required for complete satisfaction of your audience that are as insane as you are and who have been there with you since the day you couldn’t start the mini in the field - oh those were the days…… wonky pillar drill sigh
Gordon Bell
2024-10-18 23:12:30 +0000 UTCI learned way more in that rough edit about circuit boards, their construction, and gauge clusters than I thought I was going to. Top notch lads!
Robert Ernst
2024-10-18 23:02:57 +0000 UTCAlready flows very well. The gentle introduction to the descent into madness is great. Definitely needs a good brew somewhere in there . Would also reflect the comments of others on indicating just how much heartache was involved - without stealing the detail that it sounds like you're shunting into the Howie.
Daniel Kedney
2024-10-18 22:43:34 +0000 UTCVery nice, when we chatted about 3d soldering at the historic rally I couldn't quite imagine just how involved the process was and how ingenious you guys have been. Very easy to watch, can't wait for the finished cut.
Terry Green
2024-10-18 22:40:34 +0000 UTCWell, even though that wasn't the finished video, it certainly put a smile on my face! My word, you two certainly went to town with sorting out that PCB.
Jitesh Mistry
2024-10-18 22:17:43 +0000 UTCglad to see you have not just been sitting around, drinking tea and eating biscuits. :-D
Ed Walters
2024-10-18 22:08:50 +0000 UTCSolder does not like any mechanical stress
Richard
2024-10-18 21:55:17 +0000 UTCLove it. IMHO your concern for cohesiveness is mute. If you want to see cohesive go out the window go back to episode one when the mini was on jack stands then mysteriously wound up on a "big blue jig" with no plans or video of its construction and the only explanation was the need to think holistically about things..... There's cohesion flying like a lead balloon. Git R Done!!!!
Jim Rohrer
2024-10-18 21:49:56 +0000 UTCAwesome. Love it.
Kriston Abbott
2024-10-18 21:48:12 +0000 UTCThe laying down of solder is brilliant. But I hope you are using some uv curable paint on solder mask to hold those tracks in place. You know for the vibrations :)
Jeremy Saise
2024-10-18 21:31:59 +0000 UTCI'd say don't shoot anything else, trim the captions, and ship it! Save the "extra gooey bits" for your (quoting Richard) "long-suffering patrons" :D
Keith Hache
2024-10-18 21:28:18 +0000 UTCI'm very glad that you sort of understood the madness behind our method.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 21:18:52 +0000 UTCWell, it's Friday.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 21:18:03 +0000 UTCToday is a day of days
Cam Maxwell
2024-10-18 21:12:52 +0000 UTCI figured it was being tried out in a couple of places, and you were very clear it's a rough cut. I enjoyed it both times and it worked in both bits for slightly different reasons. Amazing process to watch, on a day that's been rather stressful this was a rare treat!
James Foster
2024-10-18 21:11:37 +0000 UTCMost of us will be wondering what medication you are both on and if you still have a measure of sanity left after the endurance contest called BINKY. Seriously great looking forward to the final edit.
Stephen Collard
2024-10-18 21:11:16 +0000 UTCThanks for yet another awesome one. The quality of your work is just mind blowing. You are in a league of your own
Odd Gjermund Rue
2024-10-18 21:08:54 +0000 UTCWords cannot express how excited I am to see the Howie did it on printing circuit boards. Fantastic work as always, chaps!
Jacob Granger
2024-10-18 20:59:09 +0000 UTCI know right, what TF were they thinking?
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 20:56:01 +0000 UTCJust finished the video and whilst when I first saw the custom PCB printer teaser you put out I genuinely exclaimed "please no"; seeing the learning process you went through as well as the flexibility it gave you, I was totally wrong. So what if it seems mad, the whole point of the project is to make something truly special, unique, and EXACTLY how you want it. You certainly can't do that without giving yourself room to learn along the way. Amazingly done chaps 👍
TheophilusField
2024-10-18 20:54:24 +0000 UTCAs I m someone who works in the PCB and PCB assembly industry. I m scratching my head!……
Jeremy Saise
2024-10-18 20:50:02 +0000 UTCIt certainly explains the dazed, confused and generally frazzled look at the rally festival back in 2022. Fantastic work!
Lucy Moore
2024-10-18 20:50:02 +0000 UTCThere shouldn't be a repeated section. This is made up of 6 different editing projects over many months stitched together and I didn't watch the whole thing back yet. My fault, sorry.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 20:49:05 +0000 UTCThis hangs together well and really helps explain the route you've chosen and the process you've been on (i.e why not just farm out pcb production). I see why you've got a section repeated as it works in both slots, I'd probably go chronologically and I think the second place works for it. The grinder being used to modify a PCB is, of course exactly what we want to see. It's clearly been a whole heck of a lot of work, looking forward to the final edit!
James Foster
2024-10-18 20:43:57 +0000 UTCNeeds more bracket......
Pete Black
2024-10-18 20:33:15 +0000 UTCSod off. (An interesting observation, I'll try to tighten it up.)
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 20:30:24 +0000 UTCThat is an amazing amount of work, and the final product is absolutely bespoke perfection. Thanks for posting this, felt good to watch!
Bruce Gorney
2024-10-18 20:29:54 +0000 UTCWhile I LOVED it, did you want feedback??? Not to call the baby ugly but it viewed more like the gearbox Howie than an a normal episode. Now tell me to sod off.
Evan Thomas
2024-10-18 20:29:02 +0000 UTCYou are crazy people, and might just lose it altogether if anyone mentions wire-wrap to you.... (would have worked well for you here, I think) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap (they used to use it to wire whole computers, rewirably)
Andy Pugh
2024-10-18 20:27:54 +0000 UTCI’ll look forward to it 🙂👍
David Carson
2024-10-18 20:26:43 +0000 UTCWe'll probably cover the myriad technical issues in the Howie.
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 20:25:30 +0000 UTCThanks Eric.

2024-10-18 20:24:56 +0000 UTC😁
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 20:24:41 +0000 UTCThat was great to watch! 🙂👍 No mention of the power issues in the shed? Or how they were fixed? Or even the carnage they caused? And I guess that episode 40 will detail the dial-face debacle (which I’ll also look forward to watching). PS. Not a single brew break was featured??! I guess that’s a job for next week… 😃
David Carson
2024-10-18 20:23:56 +0000 UTCLove the video guys, the effort you have gone too is incredible
Linton Hart
2024-10-18 20:23:55 +0000 UTCI was NOT ready for the sequence at 22:30. I may never recover 🤣
TheophilusField
2024-10-18 20:23:03 +0000 UTCNik and Richard, congratulations! The video is great, I love it. It re-enforces my opinion that you guys are the best 😁👏. Thank you for all your hard work and living through the trials and tribulations that many would have run away from, after setting a match to it. I have to say after my own years of designing, making then finally farming out my PCBs, you have provided a whole new dimension to that for me (and given me some ideas😉)! I’m glad you are going to encase the final product in an epoxy coating, that’s essential. I did my share of adapting new to old with my recent completion of a restoration of a ‘57 MGA with a ‘99 Miata/MX-5 drivetrain, ECU and instruments, then blending it with the late fifties era stock wiring harness; I can definitely appreciate what you’ve been through. But my customizing and integration of the MX-5 instruments into the Smiths gauges is child’s play compared to your efforts here…beautiful! Cheers, Eric

2024-10-18 20:16:23 +0000 UTCWell, I think I speak for everyone when I say, welcome back. You have been missed. In terms of the video, great work! I like it, it makes sense even without the frilly bits. Love it. Rich, I've sent you an email! Much love, and thank you for keeping going with your clear insanity. ❤️

2024-10-18 20:12:42 +0000 UTCHey guys, I could follow it, it was clear and concise. However you never made the noise to check if the board was level in the mill 🤣. This cut shows just how much time and effort must have went into this. It was a mammoth about to learn then implement. Fair play!! I’ll get the biscuits and tea ready for the Final Cut 🚘
Andrew Mac Guinness
2024-10-18 20:09:56 +0000 UTCExcellent work lads. Well worth the wait. And it all made sense. Can't wait to watch it all over again when you release the episode 👍

2024-10-18 20:08:18 +0000 UTCPure genius…and does it make sense? Yes, yes is does… Looking forward to the final cut, and the end of the Binky saga. Nearly there gents! 😉
Chris Herd
2024-10-18 20:07:09 +0000 UTCThis is excellent! I must admit when I heard everything about the delays due to making the PCB I wondered why you didn’t just get someone like pcbway to make it for you, but having watched this I totally get it now. The ability to modify the traces without trashing the entire board is brilliant It would be good to get some detail about the modifications you made to that timer circuit (even if you ended up not using it) but other than that great stuff, looking forward to the final edit Also, what does PTC stand for?

2024-10-18 20:01:25 +0000 UTCTo answer the big question, yes it makes sense. I loved it. My notes: The rivet joke is pure class. Count von Count doesn't laugh until he has counted the finial item being counted and then there is lightening. Can you add a thunder clap in post? Filing marks are shown before they are explained. How many board revisions were there? The 'Dawn of man' backing music was awesome but it needs a little more build up before you drop that epic on us. That finial dial sweep on start up was beautiful and deserves highlighting.

Daniel Atkinson
2024-10-18 19:27:25 +0000 UTCThis is brilliant and as someone who has laid out, designed, and had made many circuit boards over the years... I can't figure out if this is insane or stupid too... but the commitment to the bit is something truly spectacular to behold. Well done. Can't wait for the final video.

2024-10-18 19:27:17 +0000 UTCI'll take "vaguely interesting."
Bad Obsession Motorsport
2024-10-18 19:26:32 +0000 UTCThe story is easy to follow. I liked the bits of humor, but would like a bit more please. I will say you guys are bat guano crazy for taking this on, but we've known that for a while now. I stuck around for the over the top attention to detail, but this is next level.

2024-10-18 19:26:02 +0000 UTCAs someone who finds electrics abhorrent, I can honestly say this was fascinating! Gentlemen, your patience and dedication to getting it absolutely right is refreshing and a pleasure to see! I can't wait for the final cut! Excellent work.
Todd Miller
2024-10-18 19:25:29 +0000 UTCMy guess would be that after 10 miles, half of your solder traces will be broken. I hope that my guess is wrong and your glue is working wonders! And please buy at least a half decent soldering iron! The soldering was hard to watch
Richard
2024-10-18 19:22:27 +0000 UTCI wouldn't have dared think it but you've managed to make soldering look vaguely interesting. Well done. Gods what a ball ache that whole thing must've been.

Hiroshi Robertson
2024-10-18 19:04:42 +0000 UTCThat entire circuit board process should be officially classified as a form of torture and banned under the geneva convention, how you've enough sanity left to do any editing is beyond me
James Guppy
2024-10-18 19:00:21 +0000 UTCHonestly guys, I am very proud that you finally pushed yourselves to get this out there, despite it being a rough cut. It must have felt more and more daunting, the longer it has been taking, so having made this step hopefully helps you rekindle your belief that you can get this great episode of bracket-making-turned-up-to-11 out to the world to enjoy. Looking forward to seeing the end result!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
