In my apartment due to the fire alarm network, i cant use a soldering. So, i have started to make pcb boards with "wire glue" from american science surplus and testing two other conductive glue that i irdered frim aliexpress and temu.
The program is double blink adding pin D0 on a nodemcu v3 12e.
The projects work well.
Can any recommend a better tool for wiring wrapping around the nodemcu pins before applying wire glue?
Thanks,
Diana
P.S: I started eith arduino about a year and half ago andcuse the uno r3. Nodemcu, esp32 devkit, and think node (8266 w builtin oled).
I have added the video of tbe project showing the top and bottom of the project perf board. The background talk is that i wasxwatching dronecworkshop while making the project.
I just Googled "wire wrap tool" and got a whole raft of tools that are available. I have such a tool since sometime in the 1970's. The wire is also available and used a lot today to modify existing printed circuit boards. No glue necessary!
I also have my wire wrap collection from the 70's. I still use them occasionally. The hand tools are OK for light work, but if you are doing a lot invest in a power or squeeze version. My power version was $100's but worth it at the time. The hand unwrap tool is fine - just don't make too many mistakes. A special cutting/stripping tool is handy if you are doing a lot of wraps. The standard wire for 10 mill posts is 30 gauge.
I bought the wire wrap tool from jonard, it works great. The second wire wrap project is a nodemcu v3 linked to an oled with detachable 512kBit eeprom.
Here is the picture.
You guys are great. I mean everyone. In a year and a half this group has helped regain my confidence and better mental health.
Just guessing but I would expect a fume and smoke extractor to be a better solution. Fume Extractor
The carbon filled glue is not going to produce the sort of reliable circuit connections necessary for many projects. Wire wrap is a great connection method to use after one solders the wire wrap pins into a circuit board.
There also are friction fit pins that can be inserted in PCB plated through holes that are a decent substitute for soldering and can be wire wrapped.
I thought more or less the same thing. What happens if the OP has the urge to make toast and leaves the grill on a few seconds too long? I once, incidentally, had a room in a "no smoking" hotel and the cleaner had failed to notice that the previous occupant had covered the fire alarm sensor with a layer of polythene. Maybe the OP could make use of a similar solution.
Normal cooking produces far more smoke than normal soldering. I can see lots of problems with such a restrictive system.
Regardless, carbon based “wire glue” wont be adequate for many projects. Wire wrapping is a solution once you have electrically sound wire wrap pins.
I hesitate to suggest covering the smoke alarms although I might be tempted to do it myself.
