Protoboard
I have been on the lookout for some good protoboard for a while now, and today I found this: ElectroCookie Solderable Breadboard PCB Board for Electronics Projects Compatible for DIY Arduino Soldering Projects, Gold-Plated (9 Pack + 3 Mini, Multicolor Pack).
It is cheap and well laid out, which is a combination of properties I have had some trouble finding. For instance if you search for ‘protoboard’ over on AliExpress you don’t get any good results.
Anyway. I got myself two twelve packs. Average cost of AU$2.25 per board.
p.s. I went back and got these as well:
- ElectroCookie Large PCB Prototype Board Kit Solderable Breadboards for DIY Arduino and Soldering Projects, Gold-Plated (6 Multi-Pack, Blue)
- ElectroCookie Mini PCB Prototype Board Solderable Breadboard for DIY Electronics, Compatible for Mini Arduino Soldering Projects, Gold-Plated (50 Pack, Black)
This ElectroCookie stuff is good value!

In this video I take a look at Electrical Engineering 101: Everything You Should Have Learned in School…but Probably Didn’t 3rd Edition written by Darren Ashby and published in 2011.
In the book the author mentioned that they used to write for chipcenter.com which appears to have since been taken over by EE Times. ChatGPT provided more information.
The author also mentioned Mathcad. I’m planning to check that out over here: https://www.mathcad.com/
And some terms which came up (ChatGPT explains further):
- Vcc
- Voltage at the collector
- Vee
- Voltage at the emitter
- Vdd
- Voltage at the drain
- Vss
- Voltage at the source

In this video I unbox the OULLX NSS-681HDMI-RJ45 Cable Tester from AliExpress and compare it with the Ampcom Automatic Network Cable Tester also from AliExpress.

Ampcom Automatic Network Cable Tester notes |
Note that the Ampcom is advertised as the ANENG M469D on AliExpress, but that’s not actually what you get. The Ampcom model that you do get seems to work well enough, but I would recommend the OULLX NSS-681HDMI-RJ45 because it’s cheaper and can do HDMI in addition to Ethernet.
