Picked up a pico projector for dirt cheap that only supports Apple phones with a 30 pin dock connector. Lets see if I can make it do my bidding. Wahahaha!

Check out the AGPTEK T06S here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TRD3J8K?ref=myi_title_dp
I'm loving these android based portable mp3 players! So when AGPTEK offered to send me their new model I of course got excited. In a nutshell, this is basically what iPod Touches are to iPhones but in the android ecosystem (a modern smartphone without the phone). Seriously, I really hope companies like AGPTEK keep improving the formula and coming out with new models!

I wanted to learn CAD modeling using SolidWorks so I thought making something that isn't already readily available and would be useful to others would be a good place to start. I got the idea for making replacement gameboy light battery covers from Elliot over at The Retro Future when we were chatting one day and I mentioned that I was learning how to design parts to 3D print. There are a few problems with my model that I describe in this video that I'll need to fix, but once everything is sorted out I'll post links to the model.

I'm a fan of smartwatches, having worn my Samsung gear 2 for many years till the battery and band wore out. So when Rogbid reached out to me to send a review unit of their new S2 I was keen on seeing how the scene has changed. On first glance the S2 looks quite rugged, with an IP67 rating and they make sure to mention long battery life quite a few times in their advertising materials. So let's dig into the S2 and see if it's worth their ~$90 asking price (as of filming, it looks like the price is now $70 with an additional 20% off coupon on the amazon link above).

Check out the H11 here: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Spotify-Audible-Android-Streaming/dp/B0CJ31D4LS
I have quite a collection of dedicated mp3 players and use them daily so when Mechen reached out to me again to see if I wanted to check out their new high end model I was of course interested. It's also the perfect season, with many of you guys prepping for last minute gift ideas so let's check out the H11 to see if it's worth the $100 price tag. Can it dethrone the Pecsu P5S that I declared king of android mp3 players? Watch to find out!

Happy Valentines Day to all!!! As I close in on 10k subs I wanted to give you guys another repair video. This time I take a look at that new 3ds xl I showed in the last video. This guy turns on fine but most buttons are unresponsive as well as the touch screen. So let's pop her open and see if we can fix it.
I want to try something different, I'd like you guys to comment down below before getting far through the video what you think the issue is just based on the description of symptoms. No cheating by skipping to the end of the video or looking at other comments. I'd like to know if the problem and solution is obvious to you guys and I was just being daft.

So after seeing Elliot over at The Retro Future get a TPS-L2 I wanted to see if I could find one as well (since he got it he hasn't shut up about how great it is :-P) ... then I looked at the prices on eBay ... nope! So my next options were to go for a clone or the tweaked version of the L2, the WM-3. Why get a knockoff when you can get the real McCoy? The TPS-L2 and WM-3 are practically the same with the notable exception of the color. So after a few days of checking auctions I managed to score an as is unit for $76 which is pretty good in my book as working ones seem to go for around $300. Let's see if I just blew $76 for a pretty paperweight or if I can get this guy up and running! Hopefully I will have a reason to dig my mix tapes I haven't listened to in 20 years out of the attic.

My most recent attempt to establish 3 wire serial communication with the ds1302 have finally yielded fruit. I have successfully written software to initialize the chip, as well as set and retrieve the current time. Now I need to make a pretty GUI and integrate usb charging of a li-ion cell as well as work on adding motion sensing. More to come. Visit my site: www.diytronics.blogspot.com
