24V to 5V 10A 50W DC DC Converter Regulator Car Step Down Reducer 24V to 5V 10AMP Daygreen CE Certificated (WHL #46)

Alright, part two of the DC-DC converter tests that’ll lead to a small project. This time we got a 5V/10A converter from Daygreen, model number B10-1224-05, shipped together with the 12V/10A unit from WHL #44. This item was 2.41€ excluding shipping, as described in that blog post.

Contrary to the more powerful 12V one, this is only a plastic case that was potted, but it has four screw terminals and therefore offers more flexibility when it comes to attaching your own wiring.

…and I don’t think I paid that much of a premium for it. So today’s item is a step-down converter model “D121” rated 10 amps at 12V, with 15-32V input voltage. Price was 2.86€ at the time; contrary to the usual item on this site, this was without shipping cost. […]


16 Bit I2C ADS1115 Module ADC 4 channel with Pro Gain Amplifier RPi (WHL #26)

Meep. We finally have a new product review, after all that editorial, recap and electronic load rubbish ;)

Today’s item in the mail is an I²C ADC on a small PCB, running four channels (or two differential ones) with 16 bit precision. Sounds nice? Well, if it holds the claimed specs, it IS a nice product! I bought it in mid-June on AliExpress for 2.06 USD. Adafruit, by the way, charges 15 bucks for the exact same thing. Do I smell profit margin?

Here’s how it looks straight out of the ESD bag:

Backside is a tad boring (keep the VDD in mind):

(there’s a floating island on the GND plane, boo!) […]
