Silly Job Title: Watt Wizard.

In this video we take a look at what arrived in the mail. Mostly loot from AliExpress but also some USB hubs from Amazon.

In the video I mention Goo Gone. The stuff I use is the Original Goo Gone. It’s really great stuff! I mostly use it for removing sticker goo after I’ve peeled a sticker off something.

In this video I learn about “rivet nuts”. The ones I got are these ones. There’s a video on YouTube that will give you the idea about how these things work and are used.

I also mention about the 4017 integrated circuit which is a decade counter used in this project kit.

As promised I scanned the instructions on the cover of my “multitester” which is the analog voltmeter and ammeter I got:

This is the equipment which arrived:
