Over on An Absolute Beginners Guide To Designing PCBs using Easy EDA – Make PCB From A Schematic I learned about How to Share Projects in PCBWay Community. Seems like a good service to me, haven’t used it yet but do intend to check it out.

Silly Job Title: Hack In Residence
Today: another unboxing video! This time we’re taking a look at the Sudake SDK07 and SKD08 IC clips / SMD grippers / test probes.
Originally I was going to demo these things in this video too, but the test circuit took like two hours to make, and then when I turned it on it didn’t even work, so I cancelled that and now this is just an unboxing video and not a demo. Stay tuned for the demo which I will do, just when I can find some more time.
These test clips are really great, they let you attach a probe to the foot of an integrated circuit or a surface mount device.
Be warned: there’s a bit of swearing and bad language in this video. What can I say? I’m just a passionate individual, ya know? :P

I took some time today to update the Affiliate Links page on the blog. Now there’s a table which catalogs most of the interesting equipment in my lab along with a link (or two) to where you can buy.
As part of today’s updating of my Patreon page and my YouTube branding I took new photos of the lab, you can see them over here: https://www.jj5.net/lab/
I suppose it’s a poorly kept secret that now I’m live on Patreon. My Patreon page is here: https://www.patreon.com/JohnElliotV
I would like to stress that I do my blog and my YouTube channel for love and I do *not* expect anyone to send money, so please don’t feel pressured to do so. <3
If you have any thoughts on the Patreon page or how my YouTube channel is configured I would be happy to hear from you, particularly if you have suggestions about how to improve things.
Wanna check out ESP-IDF which is Espressif’s official IoT Development Framework. Have to decide if I will use Linux, Mac, or Windows, and whether I will use VSCode or Eclipse.
This looks like a good place to start: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf
I’ve got some equipment laid out to remind me of four different projects I will be doing soon for In The Lab With Jay Jay.
From left-to-right they are:
I found a bunch of handy information about JST connectors over on Wikipedia: JST connector. There are a bunch of different JST series, it’s worth knowing about these.
You might remember that last month AliExpress had a sale and I ordered a bunch of stuff. That stuff has started to arrive and I wanted to show you the things I picked up from WeAct Studio.
I don’t know anything about WeAct Studio, I have never heard of them before. But I like what I see so far!
Here’s my WeAct Studio kit which arrived today:
