Making videos about electronics, I like to make stuff, I like to break stuff, I like to take things apart and I like to order everything electronics related from China. One of my most popular segment is InTheMail, these are videos where I show the electronic components or modules I order from websites like Aliexpress. Some people say my mailbag videos are some of the best on RU-vid but I encourage you to check them out to see for yourself.
Hi great video the one thing I have come across is the terminal end keeps coming off I don’t no if you have come across this problem I think I will have to somehow glue them into place and see if that helps thanks mark
Checkout this followup video! UNI-T listened to my feedback and released a new fw and pc app revision: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7RWlmzaEKR0.html
You never know what their engineering reasoning was... Maybe it does work without a fan, and the fan is just there to ensure operation over a very wide operating temp range but ultimately I would feel better if it had a silent fan in there vs no fan at all. Let's see what the temp measurements tell us in a future video.
What do you think about using this thermal tape to mount heatsinks onto ICs or power FETs? The thermal conductivity is clearly not as good as thermal paste or silicon adhesive, but these solutions would be too messy on boards with lots of surface mount components.
You mean FREE as in not getting paid for investing thousands of hours of their life into a youtube channel project? I mean that should be simple enough for everyone to do, right?
Well as shown in video, this doesn't appear to be a new hw revision but simply a new firmware and a new pc app version. So everyone will benefit from this update.
From what I can tell so far this is just a fw upgrade. No need to worry about it, as the fw will be released on their website soon so anyone can install it.
Great to see that UNI-T not only listened to your complaints, but then actually did something about it. Oh and by the way, my offer to take that old glitchy unit off your hands still stands. 😊😊 Cheers. Matt
You can find pre-crimped wires that are compatible with all of the major known systems, but the ones I've shown are compatible with JST PH style 2.0mm pitch connectors.
Yes, I really wanna do those I just haven't found the time resources to get around to that. But thank you for reminding me, this is pushing me in the right direction! :-)
Awesome stuff, man! Keep those videos coming! 😊 About the Na Ion cells, I want a TP4056 module for them! 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
What is the voltage of the Na-Ion cells!? Without that info, a "capacity" of 1300mAh means nothing. If the cell is 100V, that is a hell of a lot of power stored.
Thanks for the video. I like those Sodium Ion cells. When they become cheaper that might be a good alternative to Li-ion. Please show some tests of these cells.
Much weirder, my bank account dips even before the videos. And by the release of the video some of its contents have already arrived in the weeks before. In this case the red insulating washers, the micro USB to USB-C cable and the JST pigtails.
I figured out that for me it only was able to flash if I removed it from the headers I put it in (luckily I didn't solder it directly to the board). As soon as I put it back in my circuit, it fails. Maybe it has something to do with using the same pin that has the led connected to it as a data output pin. Edit: Yeah that's actually it... "D2: must be LOW during boot and also connected to the on-board LED"
