Hi Kent, what tip are you using, I’m experimenting with new tips, are you using the t12 tips? Keep up the great work mate.. 🤙🏼🇦🇺 Joe in Australia 🤙🏼🇦🇺

when i click download the software istn responding anymore, any idea what i could do ?

20:00 no dot because it is a 556.

I store my LIPOs in a gutted metal microwave oven case behind me in the basement.

Thanks for the relaxing builds! At around the 20:00 mark, you used your CC/CV power supply and you were also able to monitor current draw. I searched through your videos but I was unable to discover where that came from. Was this a kit or did you get it commercially? You inspired me to buy a set of practice kits so I can practice my SMD soldering skills. I've been soldering point-to-point and thru-hole since the early 1970's. I'm learning new skills! Thanks again!

I once assumed that the flat on LEDs always indicated the cathode, it took me ages once finding out what on earth was going on with a scratch built circuit the LEDs of which were refusing to cooperate, stupidly I tested everything but the LEDs, because why would they not just work? Voltages were all present and correct, and yeah, on closer scrutiny it turned out that on those particular, perfectly normal looking red LEDs, the anvil and such were reversed, and the flat was the anode. It was a proper head scratcher!! I now test every 3mm led I use with a CR2032 cell, I'm not gonna caught out like that again.

I believe I have all the Forrest MIms' books. That is how I started my journey in self-taught electronics. I still refer to those books for circuit ideas. The things we did before the internet !

Agree 100% about soldering tip choice. I've been using the 'wrong kind' (fine point conical) for decades now. Once you're used to the flow timing, and it's not "too slow", then whichever tip you use is the right tip.

Great kit build! I am always learning from your analysis of how the circuit works. Thanks!

So if the burglar enters and closes the door within 10 seconds, there won't be an alarm. That's not how entry delays are supposed to work 🤔

Don't miss our Summer Sale. The Burglar Alarm kit is currently 40% off (C$3.57 instead of C$5.95). Cheapest shipping option (domestic only) is only C$3.55.

Wish I had. One of these for home. I have to us a candle to touch parts with to tell how hot.

It's alive. After some work

You placed the red LED in the LED 1, (red), position, then took it out and placed it in the LED 2 position, (green). LOL. Nice little kit.

I figured out how to make an alarm from one of those vapes you got at the liquor store. It was hilarious

People that say "wrong tip" are not really right. It might be a tip they wouldn't use, but if you can work with it, there is no such thing as a wrong tip. I use to professionally repair satellite modems for IPStar , ThaiComm. The techs that trained me from ThaiComm had the chunkiest soldering iron tips to solder the finest surface mount chips. Thy never bridged one joint. First time every time they got it right when doing field board repairs. Use what you like and what you are comfortable with.

u2 sound chip, was it a bloody sunday ? front door alarm, so not to forget to close it, might need a longer delay, follow up video ?

Ah i feel nice and relaxed.

Side thought, how fun would it be to host a drunken PCB build race 😆 whoever can drink a preset a amount and then assemble and test their circuit the fastest wins lol 😆 I'm a bad influence

These types of kits are such a vibe... Just near mindless enjoyment lol

If only there was a small circuit that would keep the voltage on the LASER Diodes at the proper voltage otherwise the diodes will burn out.

Una pegunta el robot viene programado?

Damn I was foiled by your high security device 🙂

I'm wondering if that hot-spot on the battery is the Protection Circuit for over/under charging of the battery?

I always look at the "Sex to Noise" ratio specs before buying audio related equipment ‼

Excellent build. 556 for the win. 👍😀

Awesome video, just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks!

I imagine the sex to noise ratio changes drastically depending on where you attach the test clips 😮

i am looking forward to the mic preamp video. cheers

Sex to noise ratio! Haha So its not _just_ a mic pre amp then. It amplifies your sex.

Hoping your LED Chaser toy is Charlieplex'd as well! 6 gpio pins may let it control 30 LEDs (n^2-n). Some factory fresh, legitimate, SSD/NVMe devices arrive with relocated sectors.

Ah yes, Chinese translation.

Anticipating a report on testing the Sex/Noise ratio. I know you already have the appropriate background music for that.

I'm thinking that COB LED would make a great message notification on my Meshtastic device. 👍

Sex to noise ratio hahahaha

Thanks for the Mailbag ! The SSD is not even cheap.. I can get a name brand (patriot) 128G drive for 14 bucks over here. I have seen those "cheap" SSDs from ali express with just an sd-card in them.. but I think in your case it is a real drive.. a tear down (pop the lid) would be quite interesting though.

Great mailbag as usual!

You can test the actual capacity of the SSD using F3 ( Fight Flash Fraud). Often this kind of devices report a different size than they actually are.

Thank you.

:)

This is not a cheap Cloudlifter, a Cloudlifter is just an expensive booster :D

more teardowns! i wanna see inside the ssd

As others have said, can we get a look inside the SSD please? Also when testing, try writing more than 128gb, eg 150gb. If it doesn’t fail, it’s lying about its capacity.

@8:50 open it up, I bet you find a microsd card or something in it.

I see two teardown candidates. The specs for the mic amp are hilarious but I suspect it has the simplest possible two transistor amplifier that isn’t nearly as efficient as it should be. The SSD likely does have a ssd card in it, but we’ll see.

The LED chaser and SSD peaked my interest.

Please do a teardown on the SSD. I want to see if I'm right that there's an SD card in there

I BET that when you will need to replace usb c socket somewhere, nothing from this kit will fit.

Did you try pulsing the power on the LED Cob to see if it has more than one mode?

Your videos really show the inflation numbers!, I guess the days of stuff getting cheaper are long gone.
