Ah, was always curious about what lay under there. Interesting how simple it actually looks.
How does it perform without the cage, vs with it?

This is the first video from Collin I've seen in years, ever since Make stopped hosting Collin's Lab. Glad he still is here.

That mini hot plate tho... Took several screenshots as it is so adorable.

"Inside, you can find SCP-196 itself."
You could probably get paid to do some narration on the SCP Fiction

[wesleyhurd]

That's one heck of a nice telephoto lense 🙂

[abrbo]

Thanks for this talented naration and explanation

[billofrights]

Electronics and taco bell are very similar, the same 11 ingredients can make 15, 000 different products

It's so nice seeing Collin's work again, reminds me of his days at Make magazine :)

To this day, I'm still baffled that someone taught a few pieces of plastic and metal to THINK.
things that were laying in the ground....🤯

If you want to do OTA or "over the Air" programming (no more USB), you need to also remove the 8 pin, 1MB memory module and replace it with a 4MB. Reflash, and your good to go.

You can also see where you lifted an inductor near the antenna trace when you removed the shield and didn't nudge it gently back into place.

I bought one of those little Wi-Fi cards on Amazon but it's somewhere in my room now I don't even know where I put it

Man recently i am having so many issues with new boards... they're becoming impossible to solder without damaging them

[metl_play]

I mean that's not really a secret because of the official documentation, but it is really cool to actually see it.

[deang]

I don't think the purpose of the tin box is to block outside radio frequencies, it's to stop them being radiated out from what's underneath it. Quite the opposite.

[DN]

It's to keep in the rf radiation inside, so it can pass emission requirements

[emanuelroth]

So basically, "Here be dragons".

[TopMikiFilms]

I have some generic boards with no plate so the esp8266 chip is exposed. Anyway, I love these shorts, very informative. Keep up the great work!

"A timing ceystal"
I cant getbover the fact everything is powered by essentially magic crystals.
