A few assembly tricks @ Boldport.
It’s inevitable that interesting hacks emerge as one creates and assembles circuit boards. Over time I’ve come up with a few techniques that help me get the job done, and I’m happy to share them. The tools are Kapton tape, a straight top-edge good quality knife, and a hammer. The boards in the video are the ‘itemv’ smartcard analysis tool, the ‘cordwood puzzle’, and in the corner there, the ‘superhero’ plaque.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
