This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.

Good video, the amount of stuff you have amazes me.

congrats on 16k! as a bonus the oft approx counter looks like the perfect number today!

Love your USB-C PD boards. Easier to mod them for a desired voltage than my 12V ones. Mine will deliver 9V or 5V when it is the max of the supply. Found that greater than 12V/3A is rare to nonexistent in box stores.

I like those led boards. Might make a good start on a binary clock with a lot less wiring compared to using individual LEDs (and I would know ...). Thanks for the mailbag - electronic mailbags are my guilty pleasure.

I enjoy watching your video and look forward to Mondays and kit builds. It's been many years that I've been buying products from eBay (from the beginning), Banggood , Aliexpress and now temu. And finally I've been scammed on Aliexpress, the seller sent an empty envelope, and once I started a claim, they informed me of a second tracking number that arrived shortly after. Once I opened it, the items were still not correct, but now it looks like I've lied because I am unable to submit new evidence to support that my claim is still accurate. Unfortunately, it's almost $200 value. Live and learn I guess.

So far, I've been lucky. But I also don't generally order things that are so expensive that it'll hurt me too much if something goes wrong.

I got really unlucky when i ordered unbranded cheapo XLR Stuff. Didnt use it outdoors, just in my Room to hook up some mics to my mixer. Worked for about 3 months and then started to fail. Crackling audio, intermittent contact leading to complete failure shortly after. All of the contacts went black, seemed to be some kind of non electrically conductive oxide layer of sorts. Drove me nuts until i got rid of them, did only use neutrik ever since, even for just playing around at home.

As far as the led array boards - I've made a few DIY versions of those in the past to use with MCP23017 port expanders. I was trying to create blinkenlights displays and It was a lot easier and cleaner to use those boards on the breadboard rather than a mess of loose LEDs and resistors. They matched up perfectly with the 8 bit ports on each side of the dip, except the common pin on mine was on a wire so I could plug it in where needed and it wasn't in the way of the pins next door.

@leighbucksey5263 15 дней назад

Check the solder blob on the QC board. It could be a tombstoned resistor.

Aw you missed an opportunity to promote the channel name, at 1:17 you said "didn't want to go groping around in my pile of things..." :) Glad the broken blade didn't go TOWARDS you.

@frankowalker4662 15 дней назад

Those LED indicator boards would have been really useful to me about 5 years ago when I was making an I/O project for my 8 bit computer. The only ones I could find at the time were those bar graph LED packages that were not available in 8 LED versions. So annoying.

@onecircuit-as 17 дней назад

Those LED arrays are very handy! 👍😀

@pileofstuff 17 дней назад

They're quite similar to the ones you made for yourself a few years ago. Wonder where Shenzen got the idea...

@onecircuit-as 17 дней назад

@@pileofstuff and I still use them a lot, even in the latest vid about “8 pin wars”. 👍😀

@todamnbad 6 дней назад

I only understand about 10% of what you talk about but i find the other 90% very interesting, i can only assume this is tied to what you do for a living

@kyleallred984 15 дней назад

Upon seeing the led boards my first thought was a visual indicator of an 8 bit computer data bus. Just wondering how are your model trains doing?

Have you ever been able to get a count on the total number of breweries in Canada? Or the number of those that make your kind of beer?

It changes surprisingly often. I can't even keep track of all the ones in my province.

I'm already using the amp kit I built a couple of months ago. Works well with the basement TV and some old speakers.

@@pileofstuff that's not bad improving the audio quality for your videos. By the way which mic are you using for recording? I tried so many and still not satisfied with my sound quality on my videos!

I guess you can practice high speed soldering on those pref boards, because if you take too long all the copper pads fall off - lol -.

expensive stuff this time.

@stylesoftware 15 дней назад

Hi dude, love your vids, BTW you can plug that LED board anywhere you like, no jumpers required, just set the GPIO pin plugged into the COM as LOW, it will give you your ground and use the rest as HIGH anytime, have fun programming!

@pileofstuff 15 дней назад

Assuming that pseudo ground can sink 8 LEDs worth of current safely.
