Building the Silicon Chip Magazine Compact 12v 20w Stereo Amplified (Board number 01104101) which I want to use in a future project to convert some old bookshelf speakers in to some neat modern smart speakers. This is an amplifier that featured in the May 2010 edition of Silicon Chip Magazine in Australia. I'll be putting it together and getting it working in this episode of Procrasturbate Tech. If you want some detailed instructions you'll need to hunt down a copy of the magazine which is still available to purchase from Silicon Chip themselves. You can purchase the PCB itself from here: https://www.siliconchip.com.au/Shop/8 (you'll need to search for the part number, 01104101). If you're looking for the components to go on the board, I've put together a parts list here: https://www.digikey.com.au/en/mylists/list/YH2G3VNF2Q Though, if you have any suggestions for better parts choices, let me know in the comments! A few components I couldn't locate through Digikey, I got them through my local Jaycar store. These were the potentiometers and the terminal blocks. The required potentiometers are these: https://www.jaycar.com.au/50k-ohm-linear-b-double-gang-16mm-potentiometer/p/RP7708 https://www.jaycar.com.au/100k-ohm-linear-b-double-gang-16mm-potentiometer/p/RP7712 https://www.jaycar.com.au/10k-ohm-logarithmic-a-double-gang-16mm-potentiometer/p/RP7756 If you enjoyed this video and want to see more tech, repair and other videos of mine, hit the subscribe button or follow one of my social accounts below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsprocrasturbate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThanksProcrasturbation Mastodon: https://bitbang.social/@procrasturbate Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theoriginalzads If you're feeling generous, donate stuff to the channel through our Amazon Wishlist: https://procrasturbate.net/amazon #ampbuild #amplifier #siliconchipmagazine #adhdcreators
The Nintendo 64 restoration is a failure! The cartridge slot doesn't work and I can't get the RGB Mod working. I tried, I failed. This restoration didn't go to plan. Unfortunately this Nintendo 64 is well outside of my skillset to repair so I've decided to let it rest. This is the final chapter where you can watch me haphazardly fit this in to a new case that I got off Aliexpress.

Today I'm doing something different and making better use of an Arlec Flame-Effect Outdoor Solar Light by shoving an QTPy ESP32 and some individually addressable LEDs in to it. Saw this little outdoor light in my local Bunnings store and thought it would be neat to have a decent set of lights inside of it instead of the cheap nasty solar light stuff that it came with. Looks significantly better now it has been upgraded. This sort of project can be done on an old LED garden light that's met it's end of life rather than letting it end up in waste.

ADHD, mood regulation and social anxiety. This time around I’m doing something completely different and talking about something more personal to me. I’m talking about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, more commonly known as ADHD. This video is a light-hearted attempt to talk about a pretty deep problem that many of us ADHD folk deal with when it comes to our ADHD. This is based loosely on a true story and my own personal experiences. If you’re wondering why this video is a lot less structured and a lot more ‘all over the place’, well this is a much more natural thought process for myself and I want the viewer to experience this video the way I experience things. This isn’t to say that everyone is the same. We all experience our neurodiversity in many different ways. I’m hoping today that sharing this little story will help a few folk out with their journeys, and help those who are not neurodiverse help understand their friends and family who are just a little better. I know you said you didn’t need credit, but thanks to my bestie for you If you enjoyed this video on ADHD, or you like videos about technology and retro game console repairs, hit the subscribe button or follow one of my social accounts below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsprocrasturbate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThanksProcrasturbation Mastodon: https://bitbang.social/@procrasturbate Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theoriginalzads If you're feeling generous, donate stuff to the channel through our Amazon Wishlist: https://procrasturbate.net/amazon #adhd #neurodiversity #adhdcreators Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Reason Why 01:47 Mood Regulation and Explosions! 02:35 Now we go to Social Anxiety 03:55 The Story Starts 07:40 How did we get there? 08:11 Aftermath 09:11 Analysis of What Happened 15:27 End #adhd #neurodiversity #adhdcreators
The Nintendo 64 restoration is not going to plan. The RGB Mod is not working and the cartridge slot probably needs replacing in the console. I’ve been sitting on this video for some time now as I ran out of the energy and patience to continue. Well, I’ve finally gotten the energy for it and here it is. This project has not gone to plan so far. Rather than leaving you high and dry I’d rather admit defeat (for the moment) and show you what I’ve done so far, and where the project is at. So here it is, the video where stuff starts to go wrong! Presenting part 2 of restoring my childhood Nintendo 64. Special thanks to my bestie Aaron for his brief feature in this video and for being my biggest fan, even if he doesn’t understand half of what I’m doing! The RGB mod I’m trying to install is by Tim Worthington and can be found on his online store linked below. https://etim.net.au/shop/shop.php?crn=209 Instructions on installing said RGB mod are here: https://etim.net.au/n64rgb/instructions-new/ If you’d like to see another YouTuber successfully install this mod chip, then head to this awesome video by Long Island Retro Gaming (I’m sorry, your soldering skills are still better than mine!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vQRj6Yo5f4 If you enjoyed this repair video and want to see more tech, repair and other videos of mine, hit the subscribe button or follow one of my social accounts below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsprocrasturbate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThanksProcrasturbation Mastodon: https://bitbang.social/@procrasturbate Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theoriginalzads If you're feeling generous, donate stuff to the channel through our Amazon Wishlist: https://procrasturbate.net/amazon #nintendo64 #retrorepairs #adhdcreators Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 03:10 Attempting to Install the RGB Mod 13:34 Complaining About Modern TVs 16:21 Testing the N64 Carts 22:58 Admitting Defeat 26:38 End
