I tried 4 Future Tech Boards! (That can do Awesome Things)

It's always amusing to me that dev boards are either considerably cheaper than you'd expect or considerably more expensive, there never seems to be anything in between lol

For those interested in the u-blox XPLR-AOA-2 Explorer Kit, the kit is based on u-blox's NINA-B411 and NINA-B406 modules, both using the our nRF52833 SoC with its Bluetooth 5.1 Direction Finding capabilities to determine the Angle of Arrival(AoA).

That's a very nice little current sensor board! That might actually be a nice alternative to the Zero Flux sensors we use in our superconductivity lab for simpler setups, since these Zero Flux sensors are quite bulky and quite overkill for many small experiments

Great Video! Thanks for sharing (the good and bad)! Going into the details of what it takes to get the boards up and running was super helpful for someone just starting out like myself!

Great content, loved seeing these dev boards in use.

I found a crude but VERY effective way to clear solder points clogged with solder! Touch your iron to the clog long enough to melt the solder, then move the iron and IMMEDIATELY blow air into the point. It does splatter molten solder in the direction you blow the air, but if you use a damp paper towel as a backstop, it's perfectly manageable. Obviously, keep a distance of at least a few inches between the board and backstop.

Awesome video again Great Scott! I love seeing you test new to the market ICs!! Keep it up!

You have new interesting elements to develop new projects. All the best

Like all of your your videos, another amazing one! I live the way you explain things an show us how they work. Great job!

Very good Idea about demo PCB from Mouser, very good way to present it by You!

Thanks for video! VERY interesting!

Thank you, I have been validated! I’ve been using the “heat the pad and smack the board on the bench” desoldering technique for,years!

I love your Videos! This one especially :) Very interesting

Great sponsor! Likely the best store ever. I once ordered some items that were only available in the US and I had them like 2 days later. It's not the cheapest stuff you can find, but their service is amazing. No, I'm not being paid by them. They're just great at what they do.

Seems like you're enjoying your new workplace. Great camera angle, though. Good content as always.

Another BLDC controller option is the B-G431B-ESC from ST. It is a board with a STM32G431CB microcontroller and is designed to be used as an ESC. It is a microcontroller so it does need programmed and is reprogramable but they have some example code and software. The MOSFETs are rated for 60 V and 120 A (although this is cooling dependant, the dev board with a propeller blowing air over it apparently has a max current of 40 A). It supports multiple drive types and hall sensors. The board is also pretty cheap, better priced than normal drone ESCs.

Fascinating boards and ICs indeed! 😃 Thanks, dude!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Nice Video again! Is it just me or was there something off with the audio when you were speaking in your new room? It sounded a bit strange to me. Maybe the room needs some acoustic optimization.

Oh very cool. I loved the current measuring one.

Great collection! The BLDC board; did you find out the slowest possible steady speed it could run a motor? I'm looking for a direct (gearless) drive for a telescope mount. Thanks. My fave channel!
