I wish you would build projects again. You have all the cool things and the knowledge. The Ben Heck Show inspired me to lern about electronics. It didn't got me more money at my job, but i wasn't laid of during a big purge because i could also work on the prototypes. I like your energy. Watching you inspires me to get the dayjob out of my head and get into my hobbys.
The Nuvasive device is used to monitor the health and function of nerves and/or muscles. That Dell Thin Client is very much like the ones that use to be in medical centers; an example being Richland Center's Medical Center; the exam rooms have a monitor and a thin client so they can access medical records.
There is NO medical "benefit" to be had from shining visible light spectrum low power LEDs on your body. Look up the Spectrochrome medical quackery device. Even those Illumasks and "Laser light" hair rejuenvating hats are complete hogwash.
I actually bought that 1st radio (maybe in blue) at Dollar Tree around 2004 for detasseling. Got some unbelievable stuff there...usb cables. Parallel "printer" cable, ethernet cable (cat5), kids p/s2 mouse with a switch box that supports 2 PC mice, AV cables, coax splitter and F couplers. All of it for $1. At least the usb cables are decent quality and still have.
The EU already implemented a work around for companies like Apple. Devices that are water proof do not need a replaceable battery. This will also affect the usb-c demand, as those devices will use inefficient wireless charging and no usb connection at all.
That Gypsy is for the Cricut cutter, my mom had one... I think all you could do with it was design things while mobile then save to cartridges and then upload to the printer and cut. needless to say it was never used properly....
That "Light Relief" unit looks like absolute quackery. The claim is that the IR LEDs heat the skin and soothe pain that way, but those LEDs will be emitting near IR, which is not going to heat anything (unless driven at currents extreme enough that the secondary heat dissipation is actually perceptible or the light output is intense enough to cause heating, which would likely not be too good for that type of LED package.)
Looking forward to the Voron video, what kit do you have and who is it from ? My current hobby is making printers from scraps I have left over and then 3d printing parts. It was after building a Rook and I was challenged to use all the older part I had like 10mm steel rods and ender 3 hotend and extruder.
Companies evolved the weirdest thing, they have an ambiance in the packaging department. Like when me and Becka worked the tool coral, "this here must be organized and sorted and made servicable, but perhaps it was your whole world. God knows you'd have to have been related to Wright Paterson air field. Excuse me Mr. Moffitt fields. So I was wondering if the Nvidia shield joystick had a AA or a LIPO, but it's quite difficult to change, yet the joystick lasts a solid month, no joke. The parts people would have explained Ford vs Ferarri to me.
I vaguely recognized the Stryker brand on that battery. I googled it and they must be medical grade as they are a couple hundred dollars new. Crazy what they can get away with charging for 4 18650 cells.
I work in the medical device industry… the FDA regulations are insane (although warranted). It's not cheap to be fully compliant on everything, 510(k)s are expensive, and heaven forbid anything ever have to change (do it all over again) and that's just the beginning. Applies even to the software (and its code) on medical devices. Why I always cringe hard when people apply that move-fast-and-break-things mentality to medical devices in the US. If your stuff injures or kills people, you better have the systems in place to deal with all that as well. Oh yeah, lawsuits and audits and consulting costs…… $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I would have enjoyed a mix of recycled parts solder together to work. Old GPU with am-fm radio with an screen from a pod smartphone all working together with some arms made of DC motors and legs. All the pins connected.
i think those thin clients are not computers it connects to a server that acts actually like a central computer and those connect to the server and basically is the interface for the I/O and video so running Linux i don't know if thats possible as u said someone probably has already
My Garmin hiking GPS takes AA batteries, and that's waterproof... or at least it was, until the rubber boot over the power button finally gave out after like 15+ years. Button still works, though.
Oh man, I had to pop in to Menards last week and noticed the distinct lack of terrible electronics. I didn't have the time, or the desire, to walk around aimlessly and assumed the stuff got moved, probably to make room for the Christmas decorations they should start stocking any day now 😂 I've never been so disappointed to hear about the potential that they're out of the knockoff and elevated sketch level electronics game.
By 2050, the Holiday Season(tm) will finally grow to encompass the whole year. Children will be confused when told there used to be a world without year-round mandatory giving of useless garbage "gifts". Wait, how did the economy even function back then?
The Wyse/Dell thin client - google parkytowers thin, he documents how to repurpose lots of old thin clients. I've repurposed a couple of different Wyse units as headless servers.
Would love to see some tear downs on products from Temu…..my wife has bought several electrical products which were surprisingly quite good….re-enforces my theory that China can produce both cheap and good products but for decades has been shipping out the cheapest crap to the west keeping the better stuff for themselves.
The sad reality is that there are some great companies in China producing some fantastic good quality products......just they are swamped by all the terrible ones :(
My SO use to work for a medical billing company and they would charge patients $400+ for a medical device that costs about $20 to make and could be find for cheaper on Wish.
I don't know about generally, but my Samsung Galaxy S5 had removable/replacable batteries and an IP67 rating. Too bad it ran out of memory, and I had to replace it with it a more modern, more capable device that does't open.
@@Foxtrot200😂 I believe it. Good news is, it doesn't't bother me that much. I just got done filming something and my project mat was super crooked. I'm debating whether or not to reframe it or just film it again.
so i haven't watched your channel in like a while, and the only thing you've done is take apart FM radios that were manufactured sometime in the early 90s... like they don't make those anymore, that's new old stock...
Ben, @14:30 that SBC is an Atomic Pi... uses an Intel Atom CPU and has a few GPIO. Was originally for a jukebox of some sort that went under then sold to nerds as a Pi replacement. I think thats the story if i am not mistaken.
Heck yeah! I got one a few years back to make a retro games arcade but havent got around to it yet. I would TOTALLY watch a video about the AtomicPi running a pinball machine or something cool. :)
It's very finicky for power. 5v3a, but you need to attach to all the power pins on the bottom connector or else you'll get kernel errors if you do anything outside of OpenWRT. Lubuntu was not happy...
@@BenHeckHacks there are power delivery daughterboards from digital loggers available (they're the ones that bought em up when bosch pulled the plug on the little house robot speaker thing it was supposed to be) there's a small one with a barrel jack and a larger board that breaks out all the gpio, the usb header, the onboard audio system, and so on. i bought mine for octoprint and klipper specifically and it runs about as well as you could hope for.
I had one of those mini fm radios that ran on 2x CR2032. Ran for ages, too. Ran over it with a lawn mower one summer. Never been able to find one that small again. Too bad, too. I liked that thing.
I fixed an LED "therapy" device for a friend once. She paid over $100 for it. It was a junky plastic handle with a slug of steel in it to make it feel heavier, a $2 wall wart and about $3 in various red color LEDs. Total parts cost if I built it would have been less than $10, I am guessing their cost at volume was more like $3.
Those Chinese knock off Game console always give me a laugh I went to fair and their was a stand selling those ones that look like NES and almost though about getting one just to see how crappy it really is but I didn't. I myself do have one of those crappy ones that look like miniature analog TV and games on it just makes me laugh. I keep it in my car. For when I have wait for someone and I dont wanna spend and money on data on my cellphone and their no free wifi available.
The chase screen in the new Indiana Jones movie was completely stolen from the excellent Jean Claude Van Damme movie Maximum Risk, but at the same time they ruined all the excitement with all the CGI.

I could absolutely be down with that jam, let's hope it's royalty-free.
I wonder where those loops come from. There must be CDs full of that stuff for all the globb-top-cheap-o-toys out there.
I love your videos and teardowns. Good to see you again, Ben!
That Apple jab just got you a like!
If I had to hear that on loop for all eternity I'd get so much housecleaning done.
Ha! Those relays are the ice cube relays that go on the gold relays part of the back wall of the time machine DeLorean. Nice find!
the silence at 17:25 was gold 😆
That was a pretty good Rerez impression
'This one has TWO transistors. wOw'
You could totally do an impeccable Tony Zaret impression. no doubt

closing music is top!
Yeah that Light Relief isn't a medical product, it's a As Seen On Tv device. It costs like 80 dollars.
There is NO medical "benefit" to be had from shining visible light spectrum low power LEDs on your body. Look up the Spectrochrome medical quackery device.
Even those Illumasks and "Laser light" hair rejuenvating hats are complete hogwash.
That's an awful lot of money to spend on a glorified heating pad.
10/10 for the outro!!!

I like Mad Max II more than original as well :D and Rerez is fun as well as 8 Bit Guy!
Love the music at t he very end.
nice to see ben is still knocking around doing gr8 videos!

your brain is awesome. loved the retrogame on camcorder. brilliant

Love the new channel intro music Ben.
So you’re right the gypsy thing does connect to a cricket vinyl cutting machine
Repairdowns are my favorite

Speaking of IR, did you see the research where you can use specific LED’s and camera without IR filter to see through silicon chips?
Trust Ben to have a box of knobs!
BUD!!!!! Love that l'il tiger striped nut!!! Outro jams, Ben. Better get the licence for it quick! It's out there now!😜🤣
"do you like castellated glops tops? and getting caught in the rain?"
FM receivers so expensive nowadays, those could be a cheap way to make an RF remote control.
That last battery said Stryker, which is a hospital bed manufacturer
That song NEEDS to be your official intro
R.I.P., your recent uncle.
Isn’t that radio chip used for ghost hunting. They scan continuously and the lock on signal is disabled and it picks up the ghosts between channels.
Heck, it's Heck! Cool
The purrfect ending. 😁 I'll probably go to VCF Midwest
_Fury Road_ is one of those great films that I never want to watch ever again.
So will the Gypsy product and all the other things run Doom though?
I like those cheapo fm radios if I'm going to the beach or a festival or something, if I lose it or it breaks it's no real loss
That electrode impedance meter could have been used for a movie,3D model ,I may copy😎
To be fair, those things often do work okay. Not very high quality, but good enough.

I also remember when Louis Rossmann used to solder 🤣 ✍️💨
Yo, Ben!!
All these thing at the ending... soon a project really great
Yessss
I vaguely recognized the Stryker brand on that battery. I googled it and they must be medical grade as they are a couple hundred dollars new. Crazy what they can get away with charging for 4 18650 cells.
Well, medical grade :)

At least the Chinese console had Soccer II
i think those thin clients are not computers it connects to a server that acts actually like a central computer and those connect to the server and basically is the interface for the I/O and video so running Linux i don't know if thats possible as u said someone probably has already
My Garmin hiking GPS takes AA batteries, and that's waterproof... or at least it was, until the rubber boot over the power button finally gave out after like 15+ years. Button still works, though.
I have and have had many thin clients of which most got Android x86, Lakka, or a lightweight linux distro like Slax OS install on them.

Ben, Mull-tim-iter will never catch on!
I'm gonna make Fletch happen!
Should have made this "will this 20 year old GYPSY play DOOM?"
Yeah he should hack it for next project. Altough it can run doom because it even ran on microcontrollers that were only a few megahertz
I heard Marshall Tucker who happen to be from my town
The Wyse/Dell thin client - google parkytowers thin, he documents how to repurpose lots of old thin clients. I've repurposed a couple of different Wyse units as headless servers.
so he is alive still

oh yes NICE Hi Ben!!
I know they treat premature/jaundiced babies with blue light therapy. No idea how that works, but apparently it does.
God bless ya Ben from the land of Cheese and Beer !
I don't know about generally, but my Samsung Galaxy S5 had removable/replacable batteries and an IP67 rating. Too bad it ran out of memory, and I had to replace it with it a more modern, more capable device that does't open.
I think In 2008, somebody used Ben soldering techniques to make mockup but for sale, with soldered wires with hot glue all around the world. Goodwill
I dare you to make WiFi or a mobile jammer
21:11 this'll get scrum moving
Oh man, that music. It could probably be used in interrogation situations, if allowed by international law.
shielded USB, i just took mine out a few days ago...
maybe they're using placebo effect in the medical field now since they won't give anyone proper painkillers anymore :p
Guessing the WHY is for emergency use.
5:55 I couldn't find studies to back up the IR thing. Some guy tried multiple uses and failed all of them and it's a kind of pseudo medical device.
12:05 The black knob has a screw embedded in the side - no need for "brute force"...
Let's see you reverse engineer that screen so you can use it in another project. Must find out what controller chip is used and the pinout.
chinese developer(s) will sue you for copyright :)) catchy pattern BTW
Removable/replaceable batteries in waterproof devices isnt a new thing, even for phones.
Please record and upload a 10 hour loop of the cheap console music...for posterity. Thanks, kindly.
Honest question, does the crooked mat bother anyone? Or is it no big deal?
No not at all
If he knows it bothers you'll, he'll do it on purpose next time
@@Foxtrot200😂 I believe it. Good news is, it doesn't't bother me that much. I just got done filming something and my project mat was super crooked. I'm debating whether or not to reframe it or just film it again.

Anyone else have no audio on this?
no,all good here
It's a problem if you start watching a video just as it's available. The audio is fine now
ah, that explains it. thanks!
I was the 666th like on this video :)
New phone who dis?
Ben, @14:30 that SBC is an Atomic Pi... uses an Intel Atom CPU and has a few GPIO. Was originally for a jukebox of some sort that went under then sold to nerds as a Pi replacement. I think thats the story if i am not mistaken.
