As someone who makes a lot of PCBs you'd think after having built like 4 of these I'd just make a PCB instead of point to point soldering each one. But it's also kind of fun to just clip, solder, and go.

These are WLED controllers for my Christmas light show. I use old telephone trunk wire.

This is actually a great idea, I honestly kind of forgot I could rewatch it, somehow.

I bought a Wilton years ago when I got mine. Outside of a Fireball Tool vice, they are pretty good.

I just had to tap about 40 holes. I bought a gun tap and threw it into my 1/4" impact driver and hoped for the best. They were 1/4-20 in 1/4" mild steel, and all of them came out great, and quickly.

Very interesting data. I usually slap some polyamide tape on there and hope I forget about the project before it falls off.

My understanding is that it's both. But the correct way is kigh-cad, of course.

Printed pen mount for the CNC is working like a champ. Now the question is, can I cut out a shape and appropriately register it so it can draw my paint lines on it?

I approve

How else would the pick and place know where to put them? Haha!

Yeah, can you imagine releasing this to manufacturing? I mean... Sometimes caps have to go where they have to go but...

Pretty sure that's what HP did on this PCI card I found

Well you'll be pleased once you read one of his books, he's also a good author.

Amazing release 9 is on the horizon. It's come a long way and I might have to revise my 'all schematic capture programs are different flavors of trash' epitaph.

I started with wifi ones but packet drops would glitch the light show so I've moved to Ethernet. I now have a couple of Ethernet drops on the roof and the front of my house just for this. It's the 'ol "why buy that for $50 when I could make it myself for $70" problem...

I've seen those. I'm using a ESP32 running WLED. I'm cheap ;)

Yeah Tony is great. For someone without a machine shop, I watch too much machine shop YouTube.

If you get a Vevor one I expect a review. I don't have room or money for one right now but man I'd like one.
