Handy, cheap, does the job

For Tiny USB Isolator

A great idea, nicely executed. Compact and conveniently shaped, the isolator sits in a computer USB port, and provides a socket of its own to connect whatever probe or tool you want to use. It's nice to know that the unit is totally isolated though, allowing me to easily work on circuits that have different power supplies, without fear of shorting either the logic probe or the laptop due to mismatched grounding.

(Giving a "netural" rating for documentation as there isn't any provided, but frankly the isolator does one tiny simple job and doesn't really need any documentation)

Good device and good support for the ESP8266

For ESP8266 Wifi Module

Not only is the ESP8266 wifi module tiny and efficient, but the support was rapid and good. Bbtech was very open to feedback on their documentation and did a great job of improving the diagrams and wording. I bought another two modules based on my experience, and would recommend it to others.

Nice little breakout

For Breakout Board for USB microB

I used it in a project where I wanted to add a micro USB socket to a case so the mounting holes came in handy. Since all the connections are available on 2 holes each I could move some of the "VUSB circuitry" to this breakout, freeing some space on the MCU board. Very useful as it is, however if the 2 holes of each connection, especially D+/-, were connected on only one side of the board this would allow easy modification to also place the series resistances of the "VUSB circuitry".

Works like a charm!

For BMP180 Digital Barometric Pressure Measurement Module V0

I'm wanting to build a small Arduino-powered altimeter for model rocketry and selected the BMP180 as it's both small and supports i2c.

I started off by soldering on header pins. I then downloaded the sample sketch and library as supplied (via the Source Code link) and within about 3 minutes I was up and running. The sample sketch outputs altitude and temperature to the serial monitor window.

There is lots of other great resources on the web for the BMP180 - check out the tutorial on Sparkfun, too.

I'm happy with this!

Doesn't work

For Tiny USB Isolator

Didn't work with any device. We checked the datasheet and added a pull up resistor. It then worked with some devices but not others.
Useless piece of junk.

Hi, you choose the USB low-speed version, connect the USB low-speed device only. what would you use a USB device? typical USB mouse, you can use it.

Small, neat and works a treat... (Hey that's nearly a poem)

For RS232 TTL 1Mbps 3V to 5V Adapter (Male Header)

This little board works a treat for me, bringing in 232 into a Arduino Nano.
The only option which would be nice to have is the board WITHOUT the 9 pin connector so it can be wired directly to cables without using connectors....
Thanks BBTech, another nice product.

Really nice

For WS2812B Flexible Matrix Board

Awesome product! Got it going really quick, once I figured the signal pads are only connected on one axis (so if you want to use the whole panel as one, you need to brigde data signals for each row).

Easy to cut apart and join again. The 48 pack is great for making 3 "7-segment" digits with decimal points and colons in between and still a few left over. And unlike the really common "breakouts" with solder pads underneath, these are *REALLY* easy to solder wires, pins or sockets to.

Clever, great permanent protoboard!

For Prototyping Board - Breadboard Styling V1

Similar to the other version, this one adds footprints for USB connectors for power as well as other pinouts for USB and other connections. Very clever idea. The holes are very large, and they have mounting holes, so you can use these for test jigs with pogo pins.

Ruchira | Oct. 27, 2014

great product

For TPS61200 Power Step-Up Converter Booster V1

Enable power saving mode & you'll get longer battery life.

Iliya | Oct. 9, 2014

Excellent product !

For Prototyping Board - Breadboard Styling V1

Excellent product. Very suitable for my students.
Thanks a lot.

Lovely little boards - high quality

For Prototyping Board - Breadboard Styling V0

Manufactured to a very high standard these are a lovely blinged up version of the humble solderless breadboard for a solder-land upgrade to gravity-proof maker heaven where parts stand still and don't leap for the floor or become mysteriously disconnected without you noticing during an important test run.
The boards are super rigid and the solder mask is mirror finish.
They are almost too nice to defile with my old blackened iron.
(BTW, the holes are generous allowing a run of equipment wire through with insulation still intact - thicker component wires won't be a problem.)

Great, Fast Shipping! only 4 days.

For WS2812B Flexible Matrix Board

Great Product, nice Idea!

Michael | Sept. 29, 2014

Fantastic protoboard!

For Prototyping Board - Breadboard Styling V0

Way, way, way better than most protoboards I've used. In another class altogether. Holes are big enough to fit large pogo pins and wires. Mounting holes. Dual-rail power busses. Plated 2-side holes for durability. Nice tinned finish. High quality fabrication. They look sharp too. I hope more come in stock because I plan to stock up on these.

Buyer beware!!! So much for supporting tindie!

For CC3000 Wi-Fi Module V1

Bought three of these. Put headers on two and tested. Both failed to initialize.
Tried with a Uno and a Teensy 3.1. Tried using Uno 5V and a separate regulated 5V. Tried 3.3V through 5V. No joy.

Contacted seller for guidance on how to troubleshoot and received a suggestion after a couple days to solder the VBAT pads on the back, making the part a 3.3.V (both power and I/O) only.

I assembled a level shift circuit and adjusted power to 3.3V and it worked.

OK, proves the regulator is foobar or at least something in the power regulation circuit. Can use as a straight 3.3V part but it's still a defect that the seller should address right?

Replied to the seller that there are 2 problems:
(1) this is listed as a 3.3-5V and should work as a 5V part but the units I received do NOT;
(2) the firmware is 1.26 not 1.28 as listed in the part description and the seller offered no guidance on how to update the firmware despite request.
OK, surely the seller will back the product right?

After waiting 6 days for a response (and sending a second request for response) to having seller refund or replace the defective parts, I get the reply that I should consider buying the V0 part and/or try using a Mega2560. Are you kidding me???!!
Buyer beware on this one.
I'll happily provide the entire communication thread on this if anyone is interested.

"So precious sophisticated module, we will casually ship? we are all tested before shipping. "

Then your testing is flawed. You yourself recommended the test to prove the faulty regulator circuit. Admit it...you shipped several units that are flawed. No biggie. It happens - you are not perfect. Just refund or replace the parts like any reputable seller would.

Nice board - a bit hard to get things rolling

For ATtiny85 USB Development Tool Board for arduino V0

First I have to say this board is really worth the money. Super small pre-programmed Arduino compatible Attiny85 with micro USB and shipping - all this under $4. However the documentation is a bit sparse, and getting this to work with OS X included some serious head scratching. This blog post pointed me to right direction.

Hope this helps.

Works well

For BMP180 Digital Barometric Pressure Measurement Module V0

A very precise and easy to use sensor. I initially had some odd pressure readings using the included library, but was all fixed after I changed to the Adafruit BMP085/BMP180 library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_BMP085_Unified), so no worries in the end.

I would recommend this sensor to anyone looking for accurate atmospheric temperature and pressure measurements.

Stephen | Sept. 2, 2014

Work well, look great. Clever modular idea...

For Flexiable Mini Relay Module 5V/12V 10A

I've recently swapped from another suppliers relay to one of these and I have extensively tested it for switching both low current 24v and 240v AC and 24v DC circuits. They've worked faultlessly, which you would expect, but I think these relays are very neatly designed and the mounting allows them to be secured using pillars on a PCB. Other reviewers have mentioned the lack of documentation, and this is true but the set up is pretty simple. Altogether a nicely made unit like all the gear I've bought from BBtech.

Nicola | Aug. 28, 2014

perfect

For HP 4-Digit Micro Seven Segment Display

Good seller, good product

Randal | Aug. 22, 2014

Perfect fit

For Arduino UNO / Leonardo Exclusive Protective Base

This works great for prototyping. Now it only need some kind of non-slip surface on the bottom. I don't like rubber bumpers, they add too much height. But some kind of slim rubber padding under will be great.

Mark | Aug. 19, 2014

great module, but....

For MAX31855 K/T/R/J Type Thermocouple Module

The module works great! It is a little pricey. They were very slow to ship. Could have had more documentation.

Matthew | Aug. 15, 2014

Handy well thought out product at a great price.

For WS2812B Flexible Matrix Board

Have bought loads of these. They're easy to hook up and get lighting straight away. Plenty of docs out there. As usual well made and great value.

Matthew | Aug. 15, 2014

Great product. Make sure you know how to use.

For ATtiny85 USB Development Tool Board for arduino V0

Have bought several of these in different batches. They're well made and great value for money. Only improvements I can suggest would be with the documentation, but if you're buying these you should be able to find it elsewhere.

Vinicius | Aug. 4, 2014

Excelent product!

For MAX31855 K/T/R/J Type Thermocouple Module

I recommend this module.

Joseph | July 31, 2014

board did not work .

For ATtiny85 USB Development Tool Board for arduino V0

I bought 2 boards. the boards were not cut to separate pieces.
they probably were not installed with bootloader, since hitting boot button did not cause the led to blink.
they did not work on mac - os/x were not recognised as usb devices.
left a comment on the product page. did not get an answer.the comment was erased
disappointed.

Steve | July 30, 2014

Very pleased, happy to recommend

For 5-Pin Pin Header to test probe 5PADP03 (ISP Adapter)

I love things that are both simple & functional. This ticks both boxes. I have used it several times & it works like a charm, no need to install ISP headers on PCB's anymore.
Build quality is solid and the pins don't move at all on the PCB, they are soldered in a couple of places.
I keep mine connected to my PICkit all the time, I am that happy with it.
Great product, good price, recommended :)

Edwin | July 21, 2014

Very small but effective

For Discharge Protection Module for 12V Acid Battery

This unit does luckily have enough power to switch on a relay (200mA max.) and not only a TTL output.
The cut-off voltage is precisely 10,5V (not adjustable)
The cut-inn voltage is also precisley 12V (not adjustable)
There is a trick off course to adjust the cut-off voltage and that is by using a resistor in series with the input (100ohms) gets the cut-off voltage up to 11,2V.
Or a voltage divider with two resistors is also possible, you will have to experiment to get your desired value.

Paul | July 17, 2014

Best attiny85 dev/breadboard/breakout board I have used

For ATtiny85 USB Development Tool Board for arduino V0

Works very well. I plan on ordering a second one.

Cole | July 17, 2014

Give and take

For Seven Decade Programmable Resistor 0.1R - 999999.9R 1% 1000mW

Soldering on all of the pins was not a big deal until you get toward the end. There is a rather large trace that acts as a big heat sink, so make sure the temp is turned up on your soldering iron. Also, one of the resistors was soldered on crooked on the back side. It was close enough to the other one that I could not see under a magnifying glass if it was actually touching or not. It showed the correct resistance value, but I re soldered it anyway. I like the 1% tolerance and feel much better about it being a full watt. I had originally gotten the other one that was a little better quality, but the stats were worse. Overall happy with the purchase.

Graeme | July 16, 2014

Fits like a glove

For Arduino UNO / Leonardo Exclusive Protective Base

Good product, fits perfectly.

I thought plastic would be more flexible but it is quite hard, it looks like it will work and not break down quickly.

I would buy another one if I had another arduino to protect.

Amir | July 14, 2014

Received the package today

For CC3000 Wi-Fi Module V1

Thanks

Tullio | July 12, 2014

GOOD PRODUCT

For CC3000 Wi-Fi Module V0

Very good product ... work with standard library!

Graeme | July 6, 2014

Great product, super quick delivery

For Prototyping Board - Breadboard Styling V0

Shipping was via Chunghwa Post and arrived in just over one week.

Product is good too and is great value.

The only minor issue is that I found the holes a little on the big side, and you had to be careful of solder running through to the other side of the board.

I will be buying more when I've used up the three I bought.

Nguyen Hoai | July 5, 2014

good product but there is no document.

For TCS34725 color sensor module for arduino

There is no document for the item but there is 2 connection pads in the back side of item that can be separated power supply for led and disconnected pullup 4,7kOhm resisstor to Vcc.
