    Why there is no resistor at the base of Q2?

    Hello!
    I found your project very interesting, let me ask more, how much is your circuit charging battery?

    Hey just wanted you to know that on a another channel called strange parts…. They do a factory tour of JLC pcb

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Easy One says:

    good

    The product placement is becoming contentious, Julian. It seems that things are not quite as they claim to be with that company's adverts.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Monte says:

    Julian, Where do you get your SMD components?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Errol Churton says:

    all good stuff…but man…can you waffle on with irrelavent babble

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bora Yurtoren says:

    Try paste solder which is actually made for oven soldering but works very well with a fine tipped iron. Just put little dabs on the pads, place the component and while pressing it down with a tweezer tip, touch the leg with the iron tip.

    Why have Youtube put a 'Includes paid promotion' overlay on this? Is this some sort of new scheme to further ruin their and their users' ad revenue?

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Twotone says:

    hmmmm 5 components!

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mark ward says:

    will you be selling these again ?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kasane Kona says:

    RS hasn't been Radiospares since 1971 :O

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alexander Horner says:

    This really shows how painless SMD hand soldering can be with a good board and the correct kit.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PAUL MATHISON says:

    Really enjoy your solar projects, can I ask do you still use you grid tie inverter and how do you find it, as thinking wether to get one.

    Hi Julian,
    I’d happily 3d print you a case for the gumstick, ping me back if you’re interested.
