[Noisebridge-discuss] Needing help to make a video of a nice electronics prototyping technique

[Michael Korntheuer]

Well, it's obvious when you see it. That's the reason I want to make a
video. It's a bit difficult to describe without pictures. The main point is
to solder all you components on one of those veroboards with single copper
islands and put your components ( any through-wire like DIP, resistor,
transistor etc. but not SMD ) real close to eachother. Then you solder
wire-wrap wire between all the islands to make all the contacts. Soldering
30 AWG wire to components placed only 100 thousands apart would for most
people be a very hard and slow task using tweezers and probably messing up
the board. So that's were the real trick lies. It involves sliding the
insulation of the wire back and forth. That's the part you have to see with
your own eyes and which is a bit hard to describe. Once you see it, it's
completely obvious. It's one of those things that make you hit your head
against the table and say "Why did I never come up with that myself?". But
it only works well with the high quality wire-wrap wire ( 30 AWG
silverplated full core copper with Kynar insulation ) but wire-wrap wire is
easy to get... You will see ;-)
