[Blackpool] Happy New Year

[Arthur Garlick]

Happy New Year everyone, I had a great time in the makerspace today, fettling some 3D printed mounts for my Pi to go on the new robot but mostly chatting as usual.
Here's an interesting YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtM5z2gkrGRuWd0JQMx76qA
He hacks cheap Chinese and poundland stuff particularly the LED lighting.   He does some really good 'don't turn it on, tear it apart' eevblog style serious commentary but also some spoofy stuff that has had me laughing, his Japanese poundland doll with a flamethrower review is pretty funny and worth searching for.  
Here's an electrical guessing game... how many resistors blow, and how many 13amp fuses that are in serial do they take out along the way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnpMxYHlHY *** The number of fuses that went surprised me.


*** Blackpool Makerspace does not recommend or condone putting discrete electronic components across mains supply for a laugh. 

Regards
Arthur
