Who doesn’t love these GreatScott! videos where he buys, tests, and rates parts and products he purchases from AliExpress? And I can never get enough of Scott’s meticulous schematics and explainer graphics that he always draws in his videos.
In this installment (part 6) of his AliExpress gems videos, he looks at 7 different products: VFD displays, T-splitter connectors, a solar panel multimeter, a battery charger/booster, damaged screw extractors, an ESP32 LCD board, and an ATX power supply board.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
It looked to me as if you were running your drill CW while you were trying to extract the screws. Oops! Screw extractors have to be run CCW both to grip the screw and to back it out.
PS – reviewers – for some reason the CAPTCHA failed to work, even though I was quite sure I got the resistor values correct!
