The idea of buying an old industrial building for use as a workshop has fallen through.
There were too many unknown variables regarding structural wood and steel components hidden from view in a damp wall.
Slightly disappointed, because it would have been cool, but a modern premises is probably a much better optio...

They went to town with this set. The square pin plug seems to be an attempt to give the impression of UK safety compliance.

In reality, the plug is one of the worst bits.

Useful to reverse engineer for the interesting PCB layout.

This is an odd eBay find. It's the roulette wheel mechanism out of a common British arcade machine.

The full machine is a HUGE hexagonal cabinet for six players.

Not a video (yet). I'd rather have the whole machine, but I think the shipping could be quite awkward. Especially to an island.

And it's remote control too. Unexpected circuitry with some weird quirks that may or may not have been intentional.

There are strong similarities between the real smoke detectors and the very dodgy eBay ones. Notably the standard sensing chamber. But the ones from your local supermarket have very different circuitry.

This was a very hard video to make. I wanted to keep it short, but include as much up to date information as possible. It's the most retakes I've ever done on a video, and also the second time I've attempted to make it.
There's a lot of conflicting information out there, and I know that I'll get flak for the...

An extremely frustrating week of multiple attempts at videos that didn't work out quite right. Hopefully that's me back in the swing of things again.
I've never really featured the supercomputers on the main channel, so this video addresses that.
This video started as a simple test of a pack of bandoliered LED filaments from Aliexpress, but kinda turned into an experiment with driving them all from a capacitive dropper.

I haven't a clue why they call this a purification light. It looks like a translation incident that has stuck.

Note that the clocks change in the UK this weekend, so double check the time this starts, which is already earlier than normal.
