Done.
I like that kit.
@eevblog the nicadrone webside dosent exist enymore its now a chineese crap Site u should remove it from the description
Can this old phone still work if you plug the line in ?
My parents still using that phone
Why do I feel like you've paid the 1500 for that fire alarm before?
Next goes my last suck at the sav. It is not "micro charge" or "ฮผCharge", but "uCharge". I used "u" as a "u" and not as the greek letter "mu" or "ฮผ". Not to be confused with your trademark of using "ฮผ" in your products, like the "ฮผCurrent" or the "ฮผWatch". To top it all, the next version was called "vCharge", and that would break the greek letter sequence anyway. Unfortunate naming there with the "u" and I will not use it again.
TronClub!! I'm very intrigued and think I'll subscribe. I had no idea that there was anything like that available. I can see TronClub being just wonderful for a child to be introduced to the field of electronics. These days, that could lead to all sorts of incredible things. This seems like something that would've been done before.
Hope FedEx is paying you a commission ๐
Those are full-size Asian condoms.
I love the Tronclub idea, I have subscribed just to refresh what I have learned a long time ago.
ok first of all bob is not my uncle. bob is my sisters husbands mothers uncle
That was a serious cutter…you used in the beginning to open the pack
it's a first led in those 80s phone you didn't noticed
The soldering on that magnet looks a bit how ya' doin'?!
I think the electro-permanent magnet thingy, or probably a bigger version of it, could be useful for a new extreme sport: Roller-hitching!
Tge idea is, you tie your magnetised magnet onto the end of a long rope, and don a pair of roller skates. Standing on the pavement, you throw the magnet towards a car as it passes you, holding tightly onto the end of the rope, and try to attach to the car. When up to speed, simply demagnetise the magnet and reel it back in …..
I hope NicaDrone is doing ok with all the shit going down right now
Did you know it was a year ago today?
I had the 200 and 1 kit.
Hi Dave, "uCharge" is not "micro charge", but "u charge" as in "you charge". There is nothing micro about that board. ๐

of course, after all the shit he's given people for him not being able to figure out their kits within 2 minutes, now he thinks a "fault by design" is a good idea? Right…
Also, no one should pay $25 for a company to send them $4 worth of random electronics each month. You could buy a kit with 300 more pieces for that price from a myriad of sources that didn't jump on the "subscription" bandwagon.
The thing with these power banks is they rate them @ the batteries full potential @ 3.7v not 5v so that equals about 1,500mAh not 2,200mAh because the boost converter draws power and it's not 100% efficient and most likely draws a residual amount of power, plus the law of conservation is a 20% loss at minimal figures, but somehow they're able to avoid the truth like everything… I don't know why knowledge here never explains these things.
