In this video I prepare my video cameras and recording studio so I can record the new Maths Homework section of the show!

This is just some second channel content for the archives. The video quality is quite poor in the beginning but we figure it out by the end! Stand by for the introductory video to the new section of the show which will be coming out on the main channel soon!

This is an old video I found while tidying up my files today. I recorded this back in September 2023, around about a year ago. Figured I might as well publish it on Elliot’s Extras.

In this video I unbox my Yum Cha M6013 Capacitance Meter and my Yum Cha MESR-100 ESR Meter. Then I attach some banana plugs to one of my Yum Cha Probe Tweezers.

Today I was organising my media files and I found this old video. I recorded this back in August 2023 but I never released it. I think back then I didn’t have this second channel and I decided this video wasn’t good enough for the main channel, so it just kind of got forgotten. But I thought it was fun so I have published it here for the record.

In this video I do a time lapse of me cleaning my resistors. While the time lapse is playing I include a narration in which I discuss things I had been reading at the time. There are two links for the show notes, being these:

You Suck at Excel with Joel Spolsky (since deleted, bummer)
Laws and Sausages

This is an old video I released on Elliot’s Extras back in September 2023. It didn’t get a write up on the blog at the time, so just doing that now. In this video, which was the first ever video for Elliot’s Extras, my second channel, I organise some of my diodes from AliExpress. This is a really long and really boring video, a perfect fit for the first Elliot’s Extras video. :)

In this video I try to attach some banana plugs to my microphone cables, but I do not succeed.

I tried to find some examples of how to do this properly on YouTube, but I didn’t find much: how to assemble banana plugs

I did find a video of a guy who essentially just explained all the problems I ran into: Banana Plugs & Binding Posts

And this one over here confiremed: How to fit a Banana Plug

In this video I take apart a broken kettle then put it back together, then magically it is fixed!

In this video I use my Yum Cha Mini Magnetic Precision Screwdriver Set for the first time. It takes me a little while to figure out how to clip the tips in. I needed the triangle bit for this job.

In this video I clean my 1% and 2% tolerance resistors (my 5% tolerance resistors were cleaned previously). That’s 37 component trays worth, being 37 different types from 1Ω to 1MΩ. During the video I print new labels for the component drawers with my label maker and I use my iPhone to double check the colour coding.
