Thanks to PCBWay.com/?from=atomic for the fantastic PCBs and SMT assembly.

It’s been a while since I did an unbagging video… and apparently I’ve been ordering a lot of stuff from AliExpress.

Drones, lasers, tiny ESP32 boards, weird sensors, a smart mug (??) - the problem is, I genuinely can’t remember what I ordered. So let’s open the bag and find out what’s inside.

A lot of this is random tech I picked up for future projects — some of it surprisingly useful, some of it… questionable. As usual, I’ll power things up, poke at them with a multimeter, and see what might actually turn into a proper project.

In this video:
- A tiny (and suspiciously cheap) drone: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4VUEiE3
- A laser module and detector: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3tVgh4F
- ESP32-C3 OLED modules: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3VaxVvl
- USB-C PD trigger boards: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c35Xr0J9
- Microphones compatible with the INMP441: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3PgDWKL
- Temperature & humidity displays: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3B0Q06x
- A “smart” thermos flask I don’t remember ordering: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3aAUOVZ
- Night Lights: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3v1mWq7
- MAX30102 Heart rate Sensor Module: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4KjTlkT

And various other AliExpress surprises.

Several of these are definitely getting their own follow-up videos — especially the ESP32 boards, the microphones, and the laser setup — so if any of that sounds interesting, keep an eye out.
