Silly Job Title: Charge Changer. I am the Charge Changer!

In this video we take a look at what has arrived in the mail from Amazon and AliExpress.

I mention in the video about the September 2026 edition of Silicon Chip magazine. I am reading Fundamentals of Solid State which you can purchase for AUD$40 on the Silicon Chip website from the bottom of this page. In the video I say that it dates back to 1979, but actually it dates back to 1984. Close enough! If you’re not into paywalled content they have some free downloads including The Internet – What’s In It For You?, When I Think Back 1, and When I Think Back 2.

The cheatsheet I mention is Periodic Table Advanced. I have a bunch of these QuickStudy cheatsheets.

The stuff from Amazon is:

The stuff from AliExpress is:

If you’re interested in the CH341A programmer you might like to learn how to mod it for low voltage.

The various current sources, voltage references, and transistors which arrived in the mail today were the purchases I made for the equipment we looked at from The Art of Electronics.
