According to the voice synthesis module's manual, you need to choose serial port 1 using the jumpers (which you have already done right in the video). Then refer to section 2.3 to exit the default serial passthrough mode by using any of the two methods: 2.3.1, pull-down pin PB2/ES0 for 50ms-2s; 2.3.2, send "+++" to it (the module will return "a" if it received that correctly), send "a" in under 1 second (the module will return "OK"), it will fail if you took longer than 1 sec to send the "a". You can send AT commands after that, but if you send only "at", it will go back to passthrough mode.

I cannot get enough of these videos. Entertaining and incredibly useful. I recently came across some ultra powerful lifepo4 battery chargers (29.2v 100A for like $650), and was really curious how they might actually perform. I build backup power stations with fairly large batteries (7200Wh), and charging them fully in under 5 hours requires a TON of power. Would love to see these crazy AliExpress chargers put to the test, as well as anything else lifepo4 related!

Great video! The voltage regulator looks especially interesting! I also enjoyed seeing you use the vapor flux device. I have never seen flux used as a method for finding short circuits. Another effective way to find hot spots without a FLIR camera is to use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) to apply a bit of isopropyl alcohol to the suspect components and note how quickly the alcohol evaporates. When you have a hot component, it will evaporate very quickly.

The buck boost converter really caught my attention. Based on the design and product description, something really cool is that itll operate in both buck and boost, meaning your voltage can start above the output voltage and drop below, but still work. This was really useful for me when i had to run a 3.3v Vout on 5v and 2.8v power. Its called capacitor based buck boost

Hey Scott love your stuff! Just a fyi, rosin is also a name for one method of extraccion of cannabis concentrate, the vape pens for this type of extractions use a ceramic bowl as the one you showed. I do think that is a weed product claiming to be another thing just to get through most customs

Great video thanks for making it. I am confused about your TPS Buck Booster board. You said it handles 4 different voltages and can be set using the pads on it. Then why is the board sold at different price for each voltage. They charge more for 5v yet less for 2.5 and other voltages. IF all that is needed is to close loop/pads for each voltage then why do sellers have 4 different costs?

For everybody that likes the rosin dispenser but doesn't want their board sticky from it, you can simply use an air duster can upside down to freeze your board and reveal the faulty component the same way 😁

Hi, when testing buck/boost stuff, it would be nice if you tried a soft start, slowly raising input from 0 Volt, and finding out if and when it starts. It is good info for using with solar cells, mimicking a dull gray sun rise.

I like how you test electronic gadgets from online with proper tests and results. You also explain very well, this is very appreciable ... Love you brother, carry on.

Awesome job, you certainly kept the best for the actual subscribers, and we thank you! Would you have any recommendations to go along with the Buck converter for a LORA/WAN Setup? thinking about acreage and not wanting to not have cell signal on the "back 40", or populating it along roadways to help signal in those low spots where it isn't.

Please never stop trying to find hidden gems. We know it's not gonna happen, but.. just continue.

I checked out the hot plate because I have been wanting one. And the price was discounted by 50% - cut to about $26 US. Only problem - shipping to the US is $93 !! Also - it looks like they have a 215 mm x 215 mm plate size version for the same price !! Did you consider getting that version ???

Fantastic, dude! Thanks a bunch for the testing! 😃 The converter should work great for a breadboard power supply! Perhaps with a rotary encoder or something to select the voltage! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Back to desulfation topic a while ago, the desulfator I made based on several recent academic journals using resonant principle on sulphate seems to works. Its been running for 2 weeks. I use this desulfator on a lead acid 45a 12v battery which previously failed to desulfate using traditional method aka transformer+rectifier diode. On the 3 cell which the cells turned dark brownish rusty like color, 2 cell almost cleared of rusty like oxide. The 3 cells still bubling atm. The 3 cell with normal colored cell did not bubling at all from the begining of desulfation process. I use pwm at 700khz and 27% duty and irf540. Earlier, I got problem with this configuration as the solder joints providing 32v and ground keeps melting, even when i cooled it with 8" ac fan at around 50cm. Seems that the pulse resonating and disintegrate the solder joints. The solution is to clamp the wire using diode pin. I limit current slightly under 1A because i also often use the transformer to charge 18650 battery packs.😅 Edit: i also on 3d printer project, its a corexy based planned to run klipper. The interestings parts is that I use alternative approach to build this printer. The frame is made from welded 30x30x1.5mm hollow carbon steel. I use custom made heat treated carbon fiber brackets on x axis. The bed also made using carbon fiber. The heater element, thermostate and heat shileld will be on a single plate as carbon fiber is a good insulator material. The bed bracket will be using grade 1100 alumunium which is light and got high tensile strenght. The bed leveling will be using 6 axis gyro and servo controlled by separate mcu. The x axis use custom made bearing from ptfe aka teflon rod instead of linear bearings/rail on 3 8mm 304 stainless steel shaft. I also considering 1100 alumunium or heat treated carbon fiber shaft, but I am tight on budget atm😂.

think what you're measuring as a hotspot is the reflectivity of the surface for the thermal camera! the rosin smoke sounds like a health hazard without protection tho!

That TPS board was interesting but you didn’t say why they had bridged the power-save pads in the first place.

With the face recognition, if it's possible to register your face at an angle, would that possibly solve the 'looking straight on' issue? It would take another space, but 2 or 3 out of 1000 is a drop in the bucket for home use.

About those USB cables, any magnet near the USB port on my laptop shuts it down. That's where the sensor for closing the lid is located, so it thinks the lid is closed and goes to sleep.

As part of moving to my newly built house, one of my latest favourite gadgets are serial to ethernet adapters. I built my own RFID+keypad door bell using two Arduinos, one for the RFID keypad, and one with a double relay for the bell and opener. All of that is connected to my servers where the actual access control happens. (I don't trust those all-in-one solutions) Another adapter connects my energy meter via a cheap IR read head to the network. There are many solutions using ESP32s or ESP8266s, but they also need power wires and would additionally use up some wifi bandwidth. The last adapter is a RS485 (Modbus) adapter, that let's me connect to my heat pump heating system. Very useful to control the energy usage depending on the output of my solar panels. Of course, these are a bit less electronics gadgets than "smart home" hacking thingies, but they are very usable in the right circumstances (MANY devices have RS232, RS485 or UART interfaces).

It is a really common technique really, to find short in cell phone by using heat. At least here in Indonesia. It's a bit brutal sometimes, lol, injecting 12v to phone. But that's kinda the way we can fix a phone sometime because the manufacturer wont give us schematic. Other than that fancy resin dispenser, you can use ethanol, IPA, or even receipt from ATM.

I got a 200 x 200 mm hotplate from banggood for 60usd shipped. It works great for me as I use it for making some bigger LED lights for reef aquariums and growing. Only downside is it takes up a lot of space so I'm constantly getting it out and putting it up somewhere out of the way.

After using the magnetic USB cables for some time, I found the "full - data" cables which swivel are bad. The fixed full data and all the " power only" cables work fine, although the latter don't fastcharge.

Guaranteed that the face recognition only worked successfully, because it only had one face in it's database.
