Very happy with it, would recommend to anyone

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

The order came quickly in bubble wrap envelope. The hooks are not installed, you need a plier or two to DIY the hook on the PCB. The supercapacitor lasts surprisingly long on a single charge. I'm planning to write custom effects, but the preinstalled ones are also neat.

I love these!!!!

For Joule Thief SMD DC/DC white Led

Amazingly tiny and super simple to use. I use in solar garden light mode to light sculptures and jewelry.

USB Lithium coin cell battery charger ML2032

For USB Lithium coin cell battery charger ML2032

Works as stated. Shipping was slow especially with out tracking info. No documentation received. No direct communication initiated.

Another great watch!

For 5V Super Capacitor Powered Arduino LED Wrist Watch

Another great watch delivered with the requested additional "Alarm" feature with no additional costs, plus free of charge item :)
Thanks Peter!

Perfectly does what it should

For Coin cell battery emulator CR2016/CR2032

I have bought this adapter as my son's pokemon go plus device is constantly running out of battery. Due to the fact, that he is running around with a powerbank anyways, I thought that it would be awesome, if the device was powered by usb/the powerbank instead.

Reworked the devices housing a bit, so the adapter could reach out. Bam. Works like a charm.

Thanks Peter, also for the side communication with some dumb questioning from my side :)

Vincent | March 6, 2018

A real masterpiece!

For Solar & Supercapacitor powered LED wrist watch

The greatest watch I ever owned!
Easy to setup and use, ultra fast charging, hand built by a talented person.
I just can't wait to get the 2018 version!

A cool retro watch with extra features

For S - Led wristwatch retro QDSP6064 bubble display

- The display, pcb, placement of components are all aesthetic, it's a very well designed overall layout. The modding capability is limited, but not impossible; you can fit it in a protective enclosure and access the front buttons by your own wiring easily for example.

- The watch shipped in a plastic box, unscathed, no complaints about the shipping.

- RTTTL alarm sounds are terrific, especially the track nr 2, it's become a good inside joke with friends. When the battery is low, the sound becomes distorted, freaking love it. I used to like making ringtunes on an old Nokia phone back in the day and would like to see this expanded on the retro watch domain in some way, even if it meant connecting with an ISP programmer or the like

- The menu is a little laborous to navigate and especially on the first try I wasn't sure what is happening with the buttons and which menu item is which due to how a 4 digit 7-segment display can transmit verbal information. The items I wasn't sure of were described in the tindie store page, I think they were desrcibed in order in the features list. A little instruction manual could come a long way though.

- "Telling time" (says the time out loud) feature is low volume, you can't hear it clearly unless you place your ear right next to the watch. Could have been cool but the execution didn't cut it now. The other features like astro calculator weren't in my personal interest, I just wanted the cool shiny digits and alarm sounds.

- Having to set the system time again after a quick battery replacement was mildly irritating, having set the time to the exact second previously. The battery does not last a terribly long time especially if you are a heavy user or fascinated with this new toy, so you will have to replace the battery more often. The alarm time and tune did stay, and I assume other system like astro calculator settings stay as well. Now, is this a real problem, as setting the time only takes one minute or less? Probably not, but it's something that could be improved.

Overall a good product, it's an attraction at parties and gets you all the nerds drooling at it. The price is high for a simple watch but those hp bubble display prices have skyrocketed like bitcoin now. I rate it 4/5.

Canio | Feb. 26, 2018

Product ok, but I got a defected one

For USB Lithium coin cell battery charger ML2032

I just realized after a few months that I bought the item that it wasn't working properly. I could get a refund even after three months that I bought it, the seller is super kind, available and answers the messages almost instantaneously. The charger could be done slightly better, for example telling you when the charge is finished and maybe recharging the battery in 8 hours instead of 24. The very very small instructions also could be written better, since it's not clear how you should put the batter in the device.

Overall I was satisfied with the communication and refund policy.

Klaus-Dieter | Feb. 25, 2018

Very interesting and helpful product

For Bare PCB AVR fuse bit doctor HVPP HVSP fix repair

A couple of weeks ago I damaged a ATmega32 and was curious if it's possible to fix/reset that chip instead of buying a new one. In the internet I found the fuse bit doctor, ordered the board and completed it myself because I already had most of the necessary parts available. After completing it, it only took me a couple of minutes to fix that chip and an other one (ATmega328) as well. The most difficult part for me was to get the serial connection to the PC up and running. But once that was fixed it was absolutely easy to repair the chip.
The latest version of the board is not completely documented in the internet and therefore I had to ask the supplier. But I received the answer almost immediately.
Overall I'm very satisfied!

Cool idea, Nice job!

For Solar & Supercapacitor powered LED wrist watch

Very Nice LED kit, great platform to play with Arduino coding.
Looking forward for next version with solar panels inside LED's 7-segment layout and coin-size ultra cap.
Top notch job,
-Artur

P.S. Product shipped on time with extra bonus parts.

Awesome little watch!

For Solar & Supercapacitor powered LED wrist watch

The build quality is amazing. Would be nice to be able to purchase a protecting case for it. It would be nice to have the same concept of the watch but with LCD or even OLED screen.

Keep up the good work!

Ken | Sept. 13, 2017

Exactly Works

For USB Lithium coin cell battery charger ML2032

Exactly what i needed, plug it in, nice status light, just works and batteries holding the charge.

Ken | Sept. 13, 2017

Great and Cool Product.

For WINXI - arduino ZERO M0 stick AtSamD21E18 SAMD21

Wish there was a few samples (code) on GIT, but nice board, works perfectly, fun implementation of an Arduino Zero.

Lester | Sept. 3, 2017

works great

For New USB Lithium Ion coin battery charger LIR2032

Charges LIR2032 in a few hours. Red LED = charging; Blue LED = charging complete.
I would recommend and would buy again.

Robin | Aug. 23, 2017

Great little tiny LTC3108 breakout

For LTC3108 body heat Energy Harvesting breakout TEG

Works perfectly, very nice looking little breakout board. Other boards by Bobricius are tempting as well :)

Rene | Aug. 21, 2017

Item as advertised

For USB Lithium coin cell battery charger ML2032

Item as advertised, documentation is not totally clear as the translation is kinda hard to understand (led light always no charging end detection)

I assume it mean the led is always on and that there's no end of charge detection.

It also say (just leave battery in charger about 24Hr or More) this again is not clear but I will simply monitor the first charge and see if there's a voltage detection or not.

Item is well made and since those battery are easy to charge it is probably not an issue to charge for long time, anyhow just do not leave them unattended as with any Lithium battery.

Edit: Based on the description online it seem to take 24 hr for a charge

For USB Lithium coin cell battery charger ML2032

Daniel | Aug. 3, 2017

Works as advertised, was already very helpful!

For Bare PCB AVR fuse bit doctor HVPP HVSP fix repair

I received the board and the programmed chip within a few days. The board was soldered (pretty much only after the silkscreen and images on this campaign) and after a few electrical tests I turned it on for the first time and tested a few (serial programmable) chips lying around with success.

The master test however was a number of AT90USB1287 which use parallel programming, so I soldered the QFN chips onto an adapter, wired it up, turned it on -- and low and behold: It claims that the reset worked (after allowing a flash erase)! Yay!

The documentation is a bit on the meh side, otherwise it's a nicely working product quickly shipped.

Felipe | June 21, 2017

Received items

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

After 1.5 months waiting (not your fault but this slow snail mail) ítem came in an excellent condition, it was a surprise for the wife and very welcomed, she is very happy !, amazing gift, thanks guys !.

Richard | May 30, 2017

Excellent joule thief

For Joule Thief SMD DC/DC white Led

I'd buy them again. Small size with thru holes! Original package was destroyed in shipping. Seller was very responsive and quickly sent a replacement.

Ka Hing | March 24, 2017

Nice product

For LTC3108 body heat Energy Harvesting breakout TEG

It suits my project which relates to thermoelectric energy harvesting. It arrived with good condition and the shop owner was helpful in problem answering too.

Kathryn | March 6, 2017

good piece of jewelry

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

Bought it for my girlfriend, she absolutely loves it. shipped within the expected time frame and without any flaws.

Emil | Jan. 28, 2017

Very nice and small breakout board

For LTC3108 body heat Energy Harvesting breakout TEG

I have been building various thermoelectric generators, using what’s called a "Joule thief" to boost the voltage from thermocouples. However, the Joule thief isn't a very efficient solution. Instead I have been trying to use the chip LTC3108, which is a very tiny little thing and therefore very hard to solder by hand. This board makes it easy to use and work with the LTC3108, and the board comes in a good size; easy to solder. One thing I would have preferred is that the little LED soldered to the board was "optional", as it consumes some of the power generated by the thermocouples. Yet it is easily removed.

Max | Dec. 19, 2016

Super nice blinky

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

Arrived in good condition and works really well after plugging into a USB port for a short while. I got the purple led version which is a nice break from the blue and red leds in most things.
PCB and soldering were of good quality .

Josh | Nov. 22, 2016

great standalone high voltage recovery board

For Bare PCB AVR fuse bit doctor HVPP HVSP fix repair

This board was easy to solder, board is well labeled for what goes well, and no 'weird' parts are used (all current components). Board is priced attractively (vs having a batch made for your, ie: from oshpark). Two things are not labeled: Power polarity, LED orientation, and serial pins, but are easy enough to figure out. Documentation is very complete from building to use. 'Adapter' boards make it easy to recover a variety of boards, as well as potentially 'future proof' it. Nicely done, easy build, well designed.

Juan Blas | Feb. 26, 2016

excellent device, excellent engineering, excellent price

For PicoDuino Attiny85 arduino & RGB led

A review from a noob arduino user. The PicoDuino was quickly delivered (3 days bubble envelope). A header and a small plastified lookup table is a nice side delivery in the package. The PicoDuino is an excellent starter device. Smaller than a trinket, directly USB connected, no cable hassle. Bright, BRIGHT rgb led. Nicely engineered and goldplated for good contact. Highly recommendable for starter or starter project. Do remember you can program it in arduino by clicking upload and only then plugging it in... Some beginners documentation step by step might be welcome.

Not for use with Macintosh

For PicoDuino Attiny85 arduino & RGB led

I can't give a fair review as I cannot communicate with the device. I cannot program it even following the tutorials online. The seller responded quickly but only to say he cannot help because he doesn't own a Macintosh. This processor is SMD and soldered so cannot be removed to try programming it externally. Unfortunately, I chose this particular model Attiny85 to try as my first experience with Attiny85. The seller has many different configurations and possibly I might have had success with other a different setup. So consider this review "Neutral".

Response from Bobricius | Jan. 20, 2016

I am thing that we are together solved problem :) It is usable for Mac but id need some tweaks. Agree?

Jon | Dec. 14, 2015

Great Seller + Great Product = Very Happy Customer!

For AtTiny85 programmer runtime board, breadboard adapter, bare pcb

This seller is really great. Stellar communication and prompt shipping. Very accommodating with my order. Product arrived quickly, well packaged and as described. I will definitely be ordering more items. Thanks for the wonder service.

Jean-Marie | Oct. 8, 2015

Excellent product !

For USB Lithium Ion coin cell battery charger LIR2032

Very tiny charger but it does the job perfectly !
It also can charge larger batteries LIR 2430 if you remove a little plastic on each side of the battery case. Review Image

Artsiom | Sept. 11, 2015

Amazing

For USB Lithium Ion coin cell battery charger LIR2032

Очень доволен зарядным устройством, все четко работает. Скорость доставки очень порадовала 4 дня до Беларуси.
Цена правда великовата за такую фитюльку. Но, на безрыбье как говорится и рак рыба. Вобщем доволен и не жалею потраченных денег.

Marcel | Aug. 2, 2015
