    what is function of it ?

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Goddard says:

    I've got a few as well . I tend to treat them delicately .๐Ÿคฃ

    You will burn your shed down with all that wiring!

    Hi Julian, faced with an accumlation of various parts, I'm curious how you organize all these parts you receive. What system/method do you use to organize your parts? Can we have a glance at your setup?

    yay no reply ๐Ÿ™

    I realy do love your bostbag Videos. Keep the good work up Julian ;D

    I don't think it's possible to be any more British than that.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom George says:

    Why don't you break the old blade tip off, then you will have a sharp knife again…
    I would consider that power supply a pain in the @#$s to use.
    The system they have there will lead to some major equipment fails due to incorrect output settings because it is not clear what you are fiddling with.
    Why not have a decent display and rotary encoder and some up and down buttons.
    $28 US = $39 AUD, and the shipping would not be free. Sorry not worth it.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andi Archer says:

    I was just wondering, would the DC-DC converter output stay a constant voltage for a variable input voltage i.e from solar panels?

    How does someone drag out opening mail, loves the sound of his own voice.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gregory Thomas says:

    Why not just put two positives next to each other and then two negative next to each other thereby not having to break off any of the tabs?
    As in…Positive to #1 & #2 and Negative to #3 & #4.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marout Yasuo Sluijter - Borms (HainjeDAF) says:

    Why use 4 with 2 forks broken off? 3 with middle fork broken off does the same and saves 1 fork

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Melkior Wiseman says:

    ProTip: Halogen lamps are designed to run at their full voltage. Running them at a lower voltage will shorten their life. It has something to do with how the high temperature "boils" the top layer of metal off of the filament and then the metal is attracted back to the filament again. Operating the filament at a lower temperature does not allow this process to work correctly and the filament is prone to early failure.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sylvan dB says:

    Before putting high voltage on the input, verify the voltage rating of the input cap(s). I've seen a lot of chinese gear which claims higher input voltage than the actual capacitor rating. It'll work for a little while if you don't exceed the rating by too much…

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Herde says:

    Just a guess on the buck … set the parameters. Go to P-0 (program-0). Press and hold a button to save them? Maybe even a temporary set by holding the ON button. Just guessing.
