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:

• Acrylic Periodic Table Display with 83 Real Elements Inside, Acrylic Periodic Table with Elements Samples, Periodic Table Display with Elements Chemical Elements Display Decoration
• Our World in Pictures The Periodic Table Flash Cards
• The Periodic Table Book: A Visual Encyclopedia of the Elements

The stuff from AliExpress is:

• LT3092 Adjustable Constant Current Source Module 200mA Continuous Adjustable Constant Current Output, Sensor Drive Power Supply
• 10PCS/LOT LND150N3-G LND150N3G LND150N3 LND150 2SK104 K104 TO-92 (Color: LND150N3-G)

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.
