just a quick revisiting of this circuit board holder in that last video it kind
of didn't work out very well I mean it worked okay for low height components
where'd that board go... this on this thing so it worked out okay for low height
components but the capacitors were too tall and once I got the the LEDs on
there it just it couldn't clamp in there at all and the capacitors were too tall
as well but you could sort of work around that because they don't go down
the middle of the board see it so spaced around it but the LEDs crashing to the
beam and yeah so first up with locum put low-level
components or Wilhite components like iseas and potentiometers and resistors
and and as long as there's room for the capacitors you're fine but once you
start putting stuff down the middle of the board no Plus as you see it kind of
fell apart this guy supposed to be jammed in there but the spring pressure
kept pulling it apart so what I'm gonna do today and see if I can repair this so
I'm just gonna put a gob of epoxy in there and I think I will use GB weld
just because yeah I have it I actually did a comparison of epoxies
several months back if you want to go and take a look-see on that this stuff
was one of the two hardest ones that I've that I had but this particular
formulation of jb weld takes good 24 hours
I've also got a 5 minute version of jb weld but I'm in no rush for this thing
and I just let it set up so I just get on with it I guess like in a two-part
epoxy you just squeeze out equal amounts and that's already way too much
but now I'm gonna put out similar-sized bulb of that just mix them up with a
chick means our coffee stirrers from the dollar store
real cheap and it's it's gonna be disposed of anyways after this job so
why use something expensive and actually I wanted to be really cheap and or
frugal I could just let it harden cut the gooped part off and use it again the
next time you need to do this right just smear some in there
a little bit more on the end and the bottom this doesn't need to be perfect
too Purdy but just shove that in there no and I think I'm gonna push it in a
little bit harder that should be good mm-hmm thinks I got a little bit of
epoxy on the end of that thing so I'm just kind of clean that off with a
toothpick so it doesn't glue itself in place that would suck
and I'll just leave that Gator hurting up the following day and let's see here
okay so that didn't go itself down that's good that seems to be fixed in
place and obviously the epoxy has hardened that's good so where'd my board
go no as I said I can't clamp it in the other way up so clamp it in this way up
that seems to be holding that's nice and oh yeah
so this lets you adjust it for a smaller board you want to put a smaller board on
there let's see if I got something smaller how about that yes I mean there
just it don't to hold a smaller board and that's neat
but so I've I've done a bit of a bit more looking around and I've come to
realize that these actually aren't designed for through-hole boards anyway
they're more designed for soldering the surface mount boards like this surface
about practice board here I actually spread those oh hey oh there we go
slight miscalculation here actually glued that on to there here's something
to pry out there we go that's not so bad and if that glue works that well in
there that'll be awesome so I'll spread these out and yeah spread those out so
they don't impact any of the components and there you go no yeah that's that's
quite reasonable for a surface mount board you don't need the clearance
underneath obviously okay so I think that will work I've got another surface
mount practice board here I'm not gonna mess with it right now
but yeah okay so that's that's that dealt with again this was
just a quick follow-up to the previous video just getting this thing ready
anyone's got any experience with using these these things or any questions or
comments or anything else please as always down in the comment section below
I'd love to hear from you and chat with you if you've got something to talk
about any other comments sure absolutely
thank you for watching I will talk to you later
