SHED SHORT: Why I Have a Gripe with Standard Sizes of LEDs

After filming my first Rabid Inventor in a Shed video realized there where a few handy hits and tips that could get lost in the middle of it.

So I have at started SHED SHORTS which focus on these tips.

Had to start with a bit of moan and why I have a problem with 3mm, 5mm and 10mm LEDs, and what I do to get around this. I'll show you an easy way to solder 0805 SMD LEDs onto perfboard, and ended up building a Larson scanner.

I used the code from this inscrutable by samlynn79 to get the Larson scanner running.

Hope You Enjoy.

Sheds and Circuit Beauty

Arriving on my doorstep was the next installment if my Boldport Club subscription.

The Cordwood Puzzle is Boldport's own tribute to Cordwood circuit design. So time to break my Shed this is part of a new video series 'Rabid Inventor In A Shed'. Everyone needs a workshop-shed so spent some time kitting out mine, and it was about time to break it in.
