    4F and 3Z is the voltage

    I have one of those in box somewhere around here. I was screwing around with it, playing with my hand built oscilloscope, the one based on a Nano and little blue display, anyhow I probed wrong, or a probe slipped, and the magic smoke came from the 5 volt regulator. So I slung it in the parts bin, and one day while searching for something or another, I came across it. Well I had since purchased some of those little smp 5 volt regulators, so I replaced the device and she started working once more. They are handy when you don't have a power supply handy, but now days I usually have a 5 volt power bank and a USB to breadboard setup so I can simply power off one of those. Seems I watched far to many of your videos, and always thought I should have all the stuff you get as far as power banks. I even found places while we were nomadic where they all came in handy when we were boondocking.

    I got one of those "Fishing tackle box's" in the local £Land shop with each little compartment filled with differing sises nuts & bolts all VERY useful indeed, the box was Identical right down to the catch.

    That magnifying glass is also called a Linen tester, used by many professions like pressman, electricians and old people.

    MC34063 is the super common chip used in almost all car type phone charger. I've just done a tutorial on making them easily adjustable, and have another example coming soon.

    Julian, thanks for the video. One question: Are you saying that the plastic box took well over three months to arrive? It's unlikely that you took delivery months ago, and that you left it until this video before you checked that the contents were correct and intact. Three months for delivery is totally unacceptable, even if it has been shipped half way around the planet. The journey in a container ship takes less than half of that time.

    Nice thing they actually iproved that chinesium breadboard PSU design, the black ones were failing quite spectacularly. I hope that fuse works 😉

    Perhaps a guitar capo would work holding ic's?

    Julian your IC socket soldering tutorial has caused some very narrow minded people to surface that just don't get you hahhah!!  bloody funny sir could you perhaps indulge us with a short video on pencil sharpening ? love your channel wish I had a fraction of your experience keep it up

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Geoff Steele says:

    Looks like USB is a 5V output

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ProCactus says:

    We know there is not much rekoning going on. But since you are making the video I think 'we' expect you to make an effort, no ?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FlyingSloth says:

    With soldering the IC sockets you only need to solder the 2 opposing corner pins to hold it in place. Then freely solder the rest.
    Just watch any of BigClives kit builds.
