Oh my god, I just found this guy like a week ago and basically watched all his videos. Now I'm watching a supercut of all the videos I've watched in the past week. Neat

it would be interesting to try to build a tiny submarine robot using the flappy pcbs movement at a propeller like a fish tail.

Carl,
I’m a retired electrical engineer who went into technical sales right out of college, and even sold pcbs about 25 years ago between other better jobs that actually required an engineer. I love watching your videos and your “drive” to discover new knowledge. I was wondering what country you are in?
Best regards and stay safe.

And now I have one more thing to try out! Thanks for the informative video Carl!👍

I loved watching that robot with the 4 coils moving about.

Your video and audio quality has dramatically improved in the past year. Great job!

[TinLethax]

Your video came just in time. I'm currently designing flexible PCB for my Fl3xWatchOLED project. Thanks!

[padmalayarawal]

A lot of learnings in a single video.🤩

[balanagusiddhartha]

Great bro u made things open for everyone ☺️👍

[aaravhanda]

I love how you are uploading Vedio quick than before i love watching your Vedio and i getting inspired for electronics

[HexaNode]

That's something Useful! Thanks!!!

Nice video, well done, thanks for sharing it with us :)

Hi Carl,
Thank you for the content.
Can you share the folding experiment's results ( around 3:26 ), what was the effect of totally folding the Flex-PCB on resistance?

[lonezergling]

Hey Carl, LPI (liquid photo image) or DLP (direct legend printing) silkscreen would probably provide better resolution and quality. It is more expensive, however, and I’m not sure if PCBway has that capability or not.

Great Video!

Does adding the stiffener cover everything beneath it? For example if I placed it over several through-hole pads I need to solder pins to would that be possible?

Thanks!

Great video. Interesting. I would like to see more videos like this because I am going to make my first flex PCB for a mechatronic hand. Meanwhile, I suscribe to you and activate the notifications. Greetings from Mexico.

Great Video Carl thanks
Question - If I want to make a few flexible PCB is it possible to use a stencil printer. And how would you hold down the flexible PCB and do the accurate positioning.

[KnightsWithoutATable]

Sharp corners let the electrons fall out. Well, that is for high frequency circuits, but it is a good idea for keeping segments from becoming antennae for all the noise in the environment when you haven't shielded the circuit.

Solder to flex with low temp paste and use a controlled temp hot air blower to flow the solder and for if you need to de-solder.

[Willy_Tepes]

Great channel and interesting projects.
Have you ever considered origami PCB's? That way you can fold the PCB into its own 3D structure.
