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

Once again, I appear to have ordered far too many random things.

In this video we go through a slightly chaotic AliExpress electronics haul — UV indicator cards, LED filaments in suspicious shapes, a mosquito “killing” lamp, a USB microscope capture device, robot gears, COB LED strips, and a few things I genuinely don’t remember ordering.

I also test a USB video capture device to see if I can finally record microscope footage with synced audio (which will make future repair videos much easier).

Let me know in the comments which one we should properly tear down or turn into a project.
