Tindie

Fab little board for powering mini lipo charger with my usbc laptop charger.

Good value and great to support a local maker.

Great little board for running the LED matrix

I ordered a couple of these boards and found them to be excellent quality. I was able to get the unit assembled, flashed and tested within an hour of opening the package.

Does what it says

Bought this to stop my Pi4 Octoprint from powering the Ender 3 via the USB cable. Does exactly what it claims, and looks good in it's heat shrink wrapping

Patrick | June 21, 2021

quick, neat, professional

Great solution to make connecting your screens easy and neat. Documentation is pretty solid, just make sure you read the correct one and you will save yourself a ton of time connecting everything up! Seriously consider getting one (or a few) of these.

James | June 15, 2021

Does what it's designed to do

Quick easy simple to install sure beats having to cut up a cable. Now I can leave my pi plugged into my Ender 3v2 without having to worry about back feeding.

This board great. Quick shipping too.

This board is great. I am driving an led matrix with it. It's well thought out all the plugs are in the right places and its been simple to get it setup and going. Shipping was quick too. I will buy these again.

Andrés | March 15, 2021

Perfect

Few minutes after receiving the board I have the led matrix (1/16 64x32 P3) running the tetris clock example project.
Shipping was a bit slow (to Spain), but it has arrived at the same time as the led matrix from China. Perfect timing after all.
Easy soldering and everything works like a charm. Nice pcb. Good work.
Thank you!

ESP32 I2S Matrix Shield

Works like a charm. Thanks brian!! No more loose cables. It even works with the RGBmatrixPanel library (Some tinkering needed!)

ESP32 Matrix Shield (Mini 32)

Nice and neet! Powers my tetris clock like a charm! Thanks brian! No more loose wires. Gives it a professional look!

Adrien | March 9, 2021

Amazing little LED matrix shield. Easy to assemble.

It is a great little LED matrix shield that is easy to assemble (thanks to through hole components) and neatly designed. It was up and running in 20 minutes. Documentation is great and sample projects are really cool (I need to understand better some of the sample projects code though). I am no developper at all, just a graphic designer with some soldering skills.
Brian and Caroline packaged the board neatly and sent it really fast.
Great stuff, keep up the good work! :¬)

Works great!

For ESP32 MiniKit Debug Shield

Works as advertised. Very convenient. I bought two to make two configurations. One for under the chip using a normal header and the other on top using the headers with the long pins.

Too bad the shipping adds a big percentage to the US. Would by again.

Giuseppe | Feb. 8, 2021

Cool Product

I'm having lots of fun with this shield, easy to use, and also easy to assembling.
east to install at the of back panel.

Christian | Jan. 25, 2021

Amazing

Got 3 of them and they work like a like it is supposed to.
Makes me connect 3 x3D printers without having fear that something get broken due to power leaks.

Quentin | Jan. 7, 2021

Awesome product!

This is a must have for every TS100 owner. I can now solder directly from a Linedock or any USB-C power bank.

Joshua | Jan. 1, 2021

great little problem solver

As it says on the tin, saves having to hack up cables etc. product exactly as described, shipped quickly.

Nick | Jan. 1, 2021

A simple idea to fix a common problem

Sure you could cut up cables, but Brian's board makes for a nice tidy Octoprint installation. A now-standard mod for Creality printer setups.

Alexander | Dec. 24, 2020

Very Useful...converts TS100 to USB C

I am forever needing to use my soldering iron on the move. This module designed by Brian allows the TS100 to be properly powered and controlled from a USB C source. When paired with a decent power bank this allows soldering on the go with minimum fuss.

I heartily recommend :)

Juan P. | Dec. 17, 2020

Power BLough-R best thing ever!

Hi,
The product: Is perfect and it did what it should do right away when I connected to my 3D-printer.
The shipping: It was fast but no tracking info, just got the info that it was shipped.
The documentation. No need for this. I just plugged it in and it worked. The only thing I was missing is what kind of connections it has.
The communication: Asked about tracking info, I was told to contact the seller but there was no way to do this. By replaying to the mail reg. that it was shipped, got it back telling me that my mail couldn't be delivered :(

But very happy that the shipment was fast and the product worked as I expected :)

/Juan

Response from Brian Lough | Jan. 3, 2021

Hey Juan,

Great that it arrived and worked as expected.

I'm sorry about the communication issue, I'm not sure who you asked about tracking info but in future if you need to contact me you can go to your Tindie order and there is a "contact seller" button. If your query isn't related to a previous order there is a way of contacted me through either product pages or my Tindie store.

Regards,
Brian

Christopher | Dec. 17, 2020

Works like a charm

Fast shipping, so I got it fast and the adapter is well made and works great. Also the maker donated a part of the price for an Open Source project, so I am very happy with the product and everything around it. Kudos for the funny comment printed on the board.

Plug and Play for HUB75 and HUB75E modules

After struggling with unreliable manual breadboard wiring, I caved and bought these boards.
Works flawlessly and let me focus my energy on programming instead.
Make sure to read the instructions, I missed a step and got confused for a moment.

Examples are a great jumping off point for your own projects.

Fast and efficient shipping to the USA, and great customer service.

Way handy badge stand

For SAO Stand

I had a few badges that I wanted to display on my desk, this stand is perfect and thank you so much for including an on/off switch! Simple and very handy.

Nick | Dec. 3, 2020

Lovely clear little screens

For D1 Mini TFT Shield

These are nice solid zero-faff way to add a screen and couple of buttons to a D1 Mini. A chunk larger than the usual tiny OLED screens on shields, the 240x240 resolution is not as restrictive and has really strong bright colour, recommended.

Philip | Dec. 3, 2020

Saved me having yet another power supply on my work bench!

I can now use one power supply for my laptop and then to power my TS100 as needed, a really nice and compact product. Kudos to the designer!

Giuseppe | Nov. 28, 2020

Great Product

For D1 Mini Matrix Shield

Great Product worth the money, I have been play with it and woks amazingly cool .
you can display many things with it.

Jeffery | Nov. 27, 2020

An amazing product for an annoying problem

This worked just as described, no more USB backpower to my skr e3 mini 2.0 in a neat package. Thank you so much.

Christian | Nov. 27, 2020

Great addition

Well-designed and working perfectly with my MacBook Pro power adapter. (Not with the MacBook Pro itself, apparently it only supplies 5V outgoing.) Useful for the TS100, but might also come in handy as a generic power supply.

Simon | Nov. 26, 2020

Cool product!

The flex c friend will reduce your cable mess. Works great and is the best thing I bought in 2020! Thank you Brian!

Solves screen staying on from RPi power

I felt like putting a small piece of tape over the power terminal on my cord was adequate...then wanted to use the cord to update the firmware and had to take the tape off. Was disconnecting from my printer then...finally put the tape on again...then needed to take it off. Was not a huge inconvenience, but this little item solves the problem. I enjoyed 3D printing a little case. I love Brian's videos so was happy to support him. Also, loved getting a package from Ireland.

Garret | Nov. 20, 2020

Makes The TS-100 Even More Portable

Does exactly what it says on the tin: adds USB-C as a power option for the TS-100. Great little widget, now lives in my TS-100 case and has let me get rid of the bulky original power supply. Device doesn't even get warm when using the iron.

Andre | Nov. 20, 2020

Excellet product for my 3d printer

I`m using this between my Raspberry Pi and my 3d printer.
Was really easy to solder and wrap inside the suggested 3d printable case.
Really good value.

Kieran | Nov. 20, 2020

Does exactly as stated

Works perfectly. Use it to isolate my Raspberry Pi from my 3D printer to stop power flowing to or from the printer so the cable is data only. One of the first things I printed was a case from Thingiverse to mount the pcb into.

Sam | Nov. 20, 2020

The missing component from the ts100

Well thought out design. It’s now my daily driver for soldering and I can use a power bank to drive it.

Response from Brian Lough | Nov. 20, 2020

Thanks Sam!

I'm going to be honest, when I first saw the review title in the email I thought it said it was missing a component!

Bruce | Nov. 20, 2020

Great product, Fast shipment

I had a hacked up USB cable where I had cut the +5v line so I could hook up to microcontrollers that are already powered and monitor/reprogram them. This is a much cleaner solution!

Gina | Oct. 22, 2020

So great it should be bundled with the TS-100!
