    Nice to see some one who knows how to solder …….. so much Ytube soldering consist of people putting the solder onto the iron & not the job .

    Using the wrong tip to solder to that diode, you want a tip that can transfer a lot of its heat very quickly!

    Dang I was going to looking into getting a couple of your controllers from you. I like to support the little guy when I can.

    Hi Julian,      I have just bought my first solar (100Wat) panel, and while I am all excited to use it, I dare not connect it straight to my old car battery without a Charge controller such as a PWM5, as seen in your videos. Any chance of getting one. I know, I know, I know you have stopped making them., but I though of trying to make one myself, but looking at you videos, they don't seems to be in the correct step by step order, and some bits of it, I can understand.I have made a list of the components, it would be even easier if you still sell them, or even the circuit boards on their own, or all the bit together. As you well know ordering them from china, you cant order single pieces, and I am not making 10/100.What do you think of my request?Desparado

    Hi Julian,     Great videos, I have been learning a lot lately about electronic and there components and what they are for. Even teaching my sons  a little bit of what I am learning. Keep up the good work

    Hi! Thanks for making these awesome videos. For some unknown reason they always seem to make me also want to start building small things and fiddle with anything electric 🙂 I would really like to see video you mentioned about the development of this product. Really 🙂
