Amazing

For Turntable Strobe

Very useful and practical. Good engineering. Totally worth it. Shipping is fast with good packaging.

Audiophile on a budget.

For Turntable Strobe

This little strobe should be next to the turntable of every audiophile out there. I like the built-in strobe that came with the turntable, but it is hard to see unless your head is over the LP and you are looking straight down on it. With this strobe and even a paper cut-out disk, you will be able to see the accuracy of your turntable's speed clearly and easily. And the price only makes it an even sweeter deal.

Simple Perfection

For Turntable Strobe

In a market filled with companies looking for ways to part us from more of our money - with unnecessarily complicated equipment, loaded with "flair" and "features" that sound critical but which never get used - it was such a pleasure to find this amazingly simple, amazingly reliable little turntable timing strobe that does the one and only thing it ought to... for a price that reflects that true simplicity.

Yeah, you put in the battery, point it, push the button and the light comes on. Oh, and the 60hz timing is dead on.

Why on earth anyone would buy anything else is beyond me.

Good Product almost exactly what i am looking for.

For Turntable Strobe

I bought it to replace my turntables neon bulb strobe light to change with LED. here is the end result https://youtu.be/rolkUye2C58 . The seller also helps me to run 4 led with it at full power. the only con i can say is that i got the later revision of the PCB which also have Dickson charge pump implemented to make LED glow bright when using with 3v cell which is interfering with frequency. Bypassing dickson charge pump by connecting +terminal directly to LED giving the accurate frequency.

I'm glad to hear it worked! When I get some time I will build a standalone version that omits the charge pump and incorporates the multiple LED driver circuit I suggested. Thanks and nice deck!

Highly recommended, do not hesitate.

For Turntable Strobe

I have been trying to buy a reasonably priced, accurate turntable strobe, in the UK, for a considerable time. I was fortunate enough to come across the Bot Thoughts strobe by chance, on the Internet.
Easy purchase was followed up next day by confirmation of despatch and a great 'thank you' for my purchase.
Three days later the strobe arrived in UK from the States and within 5 minutes my Linn LP12 was perfectly set up for speed.
This is a first class piece of kit, incredibly cheap and well made. No fancy cases or packaging, just something that works, with an anti-static bag to keep it in. Too easy, it recommends itself, well done!

Great breadboard accessory, makes getting power simple

For 5V/3.3V USB Breadboard Power Adapter

This is a very simple module, yet makes developing projects on a breadboard so much simpler. Simply insert this into the power-bus rails of your breadboard, and you have either a 3v3 or a 5v power source, via a standard mini usb connector. So you can either use your computers USB ports, or any of the USB wall power adapters or external battery packs. And you can also use the voltage-selector jumper as a power switch ;) Simple, but effective.

Great product done Well!

For ATtiny85 / ATtiny13 development board

Nice and minimum amount of hardware necessary. Made bringing my idea to life easy. Highly recommended.

Turntable strobe

For Turntable Strobe

Works perfect with a strobe disc.
Simple and good device to check the turntable speed , recommended !!!!

Probably the best stand-alone strobe available.

For Turntable Strobe

The problem with the Vinyl world is that you need some way to adjust the speed of your motor to get the best playback quality, and all of the specialty companies charge absurd amounts of money for their strobes. This was the only fully assembled solution I ran across that was reasonable, and it works just as well as an Allnic I had the chance to try. Yes, you have to hold the button the whole time, and yes, the PCB isn't comfortable to hold, but it's less than $20.

An Audiophile Essential!

For Turntable Strobe

What can I say? The best value for money - and most effective! - upgrade for my turntable I've ever purchased! Allows exceptionally precise adjustment of turntable speed. Fast shipping too. Extremely happy with the Turntable Strobe and would (and will!) recommend it to anyone interested in getting the best out of their deck, without having to pay for some stupidly priced audiophile-branded alternative.
The only way this could be improved is by having a dedicated housing made for it to avoid any damage to the chips. But that would then raise the cost too of course ;)
As it stands, an absolute & genuine bargain! Thanks Michael :)

Great item A+

For Turntable Strobe

Worked first time to set up turntable, very accurate and easy to use. For the price and what it does I am very happy with it.

What More Can I Add

For ATtiny85 / ATtiny13 development board

Simplicity at it's finest. All the rest of the reviews say it all.

Travis | Sept. 24, 2014

I love it!

For ATtiny85 / ATtiny13 development board

Worked out great for development in breadboard and programming Attiny13 with Arduino. Now I have to order some attiny's with a bit more memory!

Simple, useful.

For 5V/3.3V USB Breadboard Power Adapter

I thought I'd already reviewed this... but this little tiny thing has become one of the breadboard parts I use all the time. If you're already powering your breadboard from a wall wart or a computer power supply or something, you might think, "I'm fine as is." But what I like about this is how I can without a second thought get power from anywhere I can plug in my phone. People, if you own a breadboard, just pick one up. We've been using USB for 15 years, it's ubiquitous, and this device slides right into its own useful niche.

16MHz crystal and caps breakout board

For Crystal and caps breakout board

This helps me for quick breadboard wiring. less wires on the breadboard.

Does just what it says

For Turntable Strobe

Nice, simple, accurate turntable strobe. I checked in comparison to an existing turntable strobe and it was dead on. Email support very helpful.
