Prototyping with a PCB Stripboard


Using a PCB stripboard (or Vectorboard) for prototyping and breakout boards.
In this video, I share a my method of cutting the copper traces using an electric engraver.

Code for Arduino IDE used in the video is listed below. It targets the Wemos D1 R32 ESP32 board, but can be modified to suit. // Tinker Foundry // Accompanying video: https://youtu.be/xjwSKy6jzTI // Code for ESP32 to interface with MAX30102 breakout board and report blood oxygen level // Refer to https://github.com/DKARDU/bloodoxygen - below code is simplified version // https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX30102.pdf // Connections from WEMOS D1 R32 board to MAX30102 Breakout Board as follows: //  SCL (ESP32) to SCL (breakout board) //  SDA (ESP32) to SDA (breakout board) //  3V3 (ESP32) to VIN (breakout board) //  GND (ESP32) to GND (breakout board) #include <Wire.h> #include "MAX30105.h" //sparkfun MAX3010X library MAX30105 particleSensor; double avered    = 0 ; double aveir     = 0 ; double sumirrms  = 0 ; double sumredrms = 0 ; int    i         = 0 ; int    Num       = 100 ;  // calculate SpO2 by this sampling interval int

Code listings... For the ESP32 C-code, please start off with a sketch from any existing example for ESP32 CAM and use that as your starting point... it will include app_httpd.cpp and camera_pins.h files. CameraWebSocket.ino // refer to https://shawnhymel.com/1675/arduino-websocket-server-using-an-esp32/ // To make sure WebSocketServer.h is available: //    Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries //    Search for "WebSockets Sattler' and install the library named "WebSockets by Markus Sattler" // // WARNING!!! PSRAM IC required for UXGA resolution and high JPEG quality //            Ensure ESP32 Wrover Module or other board with PSRAM is selected //            Partial images will be transmitted if image exceeds buffer size // #include "esp_camera.h" #include <WiFi.h> #include <WebSocketsServer.h> // Select camera model #define CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT // Has PSRAM #include "camera_pins.h" // This must come after camera m
