Each week I will grab a random electronic component from the vault and build a circuit - this week I throw a few interesting LEDs onto a breadboard and talk about their usefulness or otherwise in various projects.
Each week I will grab a random electronic component from the vault and build a circuit - this week I finally have a CD4026 working, although thanks to the "wrong" 7 segment display I need to invert all outputs to make sense of the resulting signals. A CD4069 from a previous blog plus a transistor NOT gate do the trick.

Each week I will grab a random electronic component from the vault and build a circuit - this week I look at adding a "monitored" fan to the top of an Orange Pi PC which hopefully will cut in when required to help with temperature control.

Each week I will grab a random electronic component from the vault and build a circuit - this week I use my favourite IC, the attiny13, to make a "clap switch", activating an LED with sound.

Each week I will grab a random electronic component from the vault and build a circuit - this week I use three cascading CD4017 chips to divide a signal from a 555 square wave generator, so I can slow down and measure the frequency using a cheap DSO138 oscilloscope.

Each video I will grab a random electronic component from the vault and build a circuit - this week I look at solar panel cleaner, some replacement ESP32s, a timer module and some breadboard wires.
