In this video we will be having a closer look at 6 different products I got from Aliexpress. Aliexpress is famous for featuring the newest products/ICs when it comes to electronics but finding those can be a bit difficult. So I tried finding the hidden Gems not only electronics related but in general what I think could be useful. Let's get started!

    if the display touch was not working properly at the edges then I personallly would not consider that seller or stock from seller good to be recommmended but then I am not great scott. 😉. For me atleast functionality should be 100% atleast for a produ t to be called working , build quality is next wheich as you said was delicate so is totally user dependant, cosmetics part is last, but then also comes value for money especially whe nyou buy kits unlike a ready prodcuts. If the kits are already costly then it will end up like raspberry pi which are no more diy option. Personal choice may be. Anyways as usual always nice to see this series i do like the tiny oscilloscope useful. THanks for this one and good luck 👍 for future ones.

    UV resin is the best for glueing coperwire to glass or glass to glass. You could in theory use super glue, but that tends to break and affects the glass surface. The downside of UV resin is that UV light needs to penetrate to cure the glue or it will forever be a liquid. Trying to glue 2 metal pieces with UV-resin is definitely a no go 😂

    There's two caveats to this. One is that UV glue is generally considered super toxic. Don't use it on anything food related. It's also a known allergic sensitizer, so you MUST use gloves when using it, and wash everything after it's cured. Also, almost ALL UV glue sold now today is acrylate based. The UV inhibitors are also temperature sensitive. So if you heat it to about 180-200 C it will spontaneously cure without UV.

    UV Glue is actually very good for sticking new copper traces to a PCB. Like the UV Mask that is regularly used. The only caveat is that you need to glue the copper trace from above by covering it and the surrounding area, not expect it to bind below the trace.

    Considering that GPS position devices passively receive signals from satellites your statement is misleading and wrong. The only power needed is to do a bit of math. Most of the power requirement in these sorts of devices is in using a cellular connection to communicate to another device. That requires a cellular transmitter which drains power.

    Need to make sure they are accurate though. Some just use cell tower triangulation like the one in this video, which isn't useful enough for most situations. Also I hear that with car theft it occurs so quickly that law enforcement typically acts too slow to be able to catch it, because the vehicles get shipped off to another city quickly, then to a port, then to another country. Not to say that it's futile to try though; it's not expensive to use these sort of things. Presumably only like 5 dollars a month or so if you get a super cheap data plan.

    UV Resin is for optical bonding, not just gluing stuff together :) - Eg, Glass screen covers like on mobile phones, it really relies on the whole surface area where there is resin being exposed optically (like behind glass) and is used due to its clear optical property over say that 2 part resin which is cloudy/off colour. You can also use it as a form of 'conformal coating' if you wanted, but there are cheaper alternatives like clear acrylic nail polish to do that.

  • @siberx4
    @siberx42 ай бұрын

    As you've found, the UV adhesives don't work at all between two closely contacting surfaces, especially opaque ones, as the glue cannot be cured. I have found it quite useful, though, for building up or filling in surfaces where the glue remains accessible. I use it regularly for things like tacking down bodge wires on circuit boards, filling gaps or holes, building strain relief on custom connectors and adapters (layer, cure with light, layer some more) or for mounting new/added connectors into housings. As long as the glue has sufficient surface area on the parts and remains exposed so it can cure, it can fillet quite effectively between two surfaces and provide a fairly solid bond, and it's way quicker to work with than hot glue while providing a somewhat stiffer and more rigid end result (sometimes desirable).

At best the stickers do nothing, since if they worked as advertised you wouldn't be able to make phone calls. However, at worst some of these stickers have thorium or other radioactive products in them as their method of creating "negative ions."

    UV resin adhesive is excellent with electronics! I use it when I want to strengthen soldered wire connections or join LED strips together. Waterproofing is a bonus. Just don’t let it get between parts that the UV light can’t reach.

    We use UV cure glue in watchmaking for fitting watch crystals, as it cures quickly and it dries clear. I had a few aliexpress bargains that didn't please me - such as a plant moisture meter that when immersed in a glass of water registered "moist" - so I asked for a refund and submitted a video, got the refund within an hour. Thanks for the lessons, enjoying this series.

    We use a lot of UV cured glues at work, and these do work well. Once the cross linking starts to happen near the edge it quickly propagates to the non visible polymer. It's all in the chemistry.

  • @microwave221
    @microwave2212 ай бұрын

    JB weld makes a cheap UV active adhesive that has self curing properties, so occluded areas can also bond. It sets up instantly with UV, and results in a material like plastic with the adherence of super glue. I've been consistently blown away by it, the other UV resins I've tried are more useful as coatings than adhesives.

    Oh hey, I bought that exact brand of mini oscilloscope on Amazon for doing some waveform analysis on a synthesizer project! I also find the interface to be a little clunky, but it's *very* usable if you don't need to work on very high frequencies, and the auto-ranging works pretty well in my experience. I got the one with a battery so I can use it fully isolated, for I think less than $30 US.

    You should check out the WeAct programmable resistor: it can create any resistance 0.1 to 10M ohms with some jumpers. It's useful for 555 timers, finding the right resistance for LEDs, etc... basically anywhere you'd be swapping resistors to test. Or the mini 65W hotplate, super cheap reflow option.

    UV resin has many niche applications. I find it works pretty well when you need to glob material onto the outside of something to immobilize it. I've used it to keep a cracked phone glass from becoming a problem, to keep a M-F antenna adapter through a PVC cap from moving around, preventing loose bits on pcb boards from becoming fallen off bits, etc. It really benefits from having a well prepped surface, roughed up and cleaned with acetone (if possible). It doesn't work so well when mating 2 surfaces together, but I've been able to get a limited amount of obscured resin to cure by setting it out in the sun for a while. IMO, that's the best way to cure resin -- there's few UV sources better than direct sunlight! It's also good at reinforcing wire soldered to pcb pads and those tiny screw terminals you frequently find on voltage convertors and diy connector ends. Just screw in your wires and glob it up with resin and you've got a significantly more reliable connection

I had brought it from a third party seller at walmart because all they had at the local office depot where I used to live was those tile bluetooth trackers where they even attempted to place those animal collars as animal trackers. So instead of the tile I went to look for something around or below that price range and saw one of those. It was small and even had a microphone. I think I put it up due to the fact the app they wanted me to use with it was delisted on the apple store as I was kinda getting tired of ios due to the fact it didn't have the work arounds, etc when it came to an android device.
