The laser receiver module I received in a postbag the other day is a curious little thing. I seems to be a chip in a TO-92 package. Still no idea what it is, but it does work. If you have any idea what this could be, please leave a comment below!

A late night shopping spree on AliExpress has left me with a big box full of electronic kits. For this video I picked a Line Tracking Car. It turned out to be quite a long build, so I have split it up in to multiple parts.
Enjoy!
I bought this kit: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32840149724.html

A while ago Marcel from Maxint R&D send me some of his PCB's. Included was a challenge. The challenge was to solder a tiny RGB LED to a breakout board and show it working.
Challenge accepted!
