Came across that wireless charging a few months ago when I wanted one, thankfully I got myself the KPON branded one instead (a hexagon shaped one, it works perfectly here, 10W charge, comes with the wall adapter (requires a QC 2. 0 12v 18w one at least, the relay coil and even an alignment tool. Pretty nice device, on my 18mm MDF desk it doesn't need the relay coil and works with just the sticker to target the phone. More expensive but considering it actually works, would say it was worth it.
Efficiency is likely quite bad as I would expect of not only wireless charging but long distance one at that, the phone heats up a bit more through it's use than the cheapo short distance pad I use normally, but it really does it's job on my desk.
Couldn't trust that say goodbye to bondage description but it's the best description I've read in years when searching for that type of product.

If you do a video on the DT3 USB cable tester (as shown at the very end of this video) you should consider hacking it with a CR2032 power switched lilypad coin cell holder glued on the back and wiring that into the GND/VCC on the input side. Now you have made the tester purely portable without need for a USB power source. It makes the unit much more useful. Keep up the posting of cool electronic / tools from AliExpress!

a note on the black technology term on the wireless charging pad, black technology is just a direct translation of a chinese slang that means futuristic/forbidden technology, it's mostly just used as a buzzword to sound cool or attract the less technically inclined customers so i kinda hate it when i see the term used on taobao which is basically the original aliexpress that is only available in some parts of asia

7: 43 If that is the actual test result, this is literally a steal for you
Wireless power is absolutely inefficient (as shown in the result, 11 Wh from cable compare to 18Wh from the touch wireless charger, transfer power through extra 2. 4 cm of wood but only take the requirements power from 18 to 22WH, yeah, that is absolutely a steal for any DIY project, 3Wh isn't anything

9: 46, can it be used with some kind of 3D printed part to make a twisted car jig that will let you accurate make X twist per inch cables using a low torque motor? Or a least use the logic of it to disign a 3D printed remox that would do that? It eould be useful to buy regular cable and soec it to your desired applicarions (ethernet, CAM bus, etc.

Ive been buying cheap solar street lights from there to modify them for USB/Power bank charging, for 2+ they are quite good and exceptionally bright for the price. Decent USB C Cables with wattage displays too, though they tend to be inaccurate of 2-6W depending on the cable, but that isnt bad at all.

I was also thinking about getting that mini screen. The LCD panels are sourced from older iPad replacement screens as I understood, so no wonder why they look very good.
But in the end I've got a used older 4: 3 TFT LCD screen. It was even cheaper and was good enough for my need.

Personally I'd much prefer videos related to projects
Even if the products you show in this series of videos somehow are useful for me, I still won't be able to order them in India due to AliExpress being banned here.
Nonetheless I do still enjoy these videos

Beacons like that need to be used with multiple gateways, and you move the beacon within the system rather than move your phone around. Home assistant can be set up to do useful presence detection in rooms if you carry a beacon like this.

I think that the beacon problem is the transmission interval.
If you try with a Samsung smarttag, the same will happen. But, if you give it a little time, or use multiple readings to take the average, the problem seems to go away

I actually use this same Ipad LCD and HDMI board in my car for a custom headunit, works really well. Although, I hacked the adapter PCB to get a custom backlight brightness control to work via an external MCU for auto dimming in the dark

I LOVE THIS SERIES!
one thing i'd find super cool to see here would be a 3. 3V or 5V USB-C power module, that is also a battery cell manager (charging, protection etc) so you could use kt directly for your u-C Projects.

As someone fluent in Mandarin, I believe black technology is a direct translation from Chinese which is supposed to translate to something similar to secret technology or special weapon in the case of games/sports.

The ad segment reminded me of an old adage: the different between analogue and digital electronics design is that the people designing analogue circuits know when they are making a radio transmitter.

Hi, could you please check if the power supply output is grounded or if it is floating/isolated from earth? I would like to use two of these PSU with output connected in series. Thank you

I'd love to see your thoughts on Linus tec tips about charging overnight. I've had much better battery life since I stopped leaving my phone on charge all the time.

I noticed you order from sellers that do not ship from Europe. Don't you have to pay customs and taxes on it? For me on low price items that easily doubles the price.

Not gonna lie, it's fun just browsing the site to see what's available. It's even more fun to have the products reviewed by a knowledgeable maker. Thank you!

If you use that TikTok wire twisting tool electricians after seeing it will turn around. If something breaks and they need to find a fault, good luck
