The best FTDI USB adapter for rc2014

Works beautifully. I cannot find a cheaper model anywhere that can replace this unit

Such a neat little gadget!

For Solderless Zero Dongle for Raspberry Pi Zero

I've had this permanently attached to one of my Zero Ws, and it's so nice to just plug it in to any USB port and have it automatically boot up and turn SSH on. Then I can control it easily. Plugging it into a power brick is a nice trick, makes a solid connection with no loose wires. You can set it up for an ad-hoc or AP network, then connect to it with your phone and control it while you're out and about. Could have all sorts of things attached to it -- LoRa, sensors, whatever!

Everything from 8086 Consultancy I've bought has been worth the money, every time. Thanks for such a great line of neat gadgets!

Exactly what I needed, and my workflow is changed for good

For 5V USB-C Dual Supply - Dual Ideal Diodes

As a nature sound recordist who works with long-form multi-day recordings, leaving recorders and microphones out for undisturbed long lengths of time is super easy... except for the power. Even with very low power microphones and efficient recorders, a single 26800 mAh USB-C powerbank will last at best 2 days. You'd think using a much larger power station would be a simple solution, but they can't be carried on an airplane. Hiking into a wilderness on a daily or bi-daily basis sounds like fun, but we could be talking about miles of bushwhacking both ways, disturbing the wildlife along the way.

Enter 8086 Consultancy's USB-C Dual supply. I bought five over the Summer, and these little guys have changed my entire workflow and outlook on recording, doubling the time I can leave stashed recorders, allowing environments ecosystems to recover from my interference and return to a natural behavior not possible to record with shorter recording times.

The only "downside" I find with these devices is that they are bare board (as one would expect from a builder's market), and not really suitable for extreme outdoor temperatures and humid/ dry swings. At $5 each, I'm not complaining, though! I "solved" this by encasing them in hot glue. Okay, I'm not very crafty, but it works (click links for pictures). They've sat in cold puddles (a "dry" bag had a leak), been subjected to below-freezing nights and extreme hot days and direct sun without issue.

Yay!

Superb

For 5V USB-C Dual Supply - Dual Ideal Diodes

Works perfect. I keep one connected to each pi. If I need to move it, or expect power issues, I plug a battery in the other side.
