Decent

For 20W+20W USB/AUX Digital Amplifier Module (GY18664)

Been some time since I bought this item on a whim. Finally found use for it today. Found old speakers so I hooked them to the board and we now have a BT audio setup. Quality is decent. Think the speakers are crappy but works well enough for our needs. Current setup as seen from the images linked below.

Love it! Easy to use and lots of fun.

For 8M Recordable Sound Play Module (10060)

These are so much fun. It comes with everything you need except the Li-On battery. I've hot-glued all of the parts to a piece of cardboard and used it for sound-effects as a gag.

Response from ICStation | June 26, 2023

Thank you! We are happy to know that you have fun with this sound module.

no documentation / badly packed

For DIY Audio Spectrum LED Display Kit (12478)

I hope you find some control over your products again so customers don't run away from you. I bought from you for the last time.

Response from ICStation | Jan. 1, 2023

Hi Mikhail, sorry to know that. There was the documentation, if you check carefully from the Specs and Docs--Documentation

As for the mentioned badly packed, please let us know more details with pictures attached for better checking. If any damaged parts, we are willing to resend for you.

Good product

For DIY Hybrid Power Amplifier Board LM1875T(12008)

A tube broke during shipping because it was in a bag with all the other individual parts, so the seller could be more careful. I asked for a replacement. I got a message right away, but I haven't received anything until today, not even an answer to my last message.

Response from ICStation | Jan. 1, 2023

Sorry for that. I have checked the order details and communication, it was indeed our fault since we did not update to you on time. There is a problem of sending the resend tube from factory last time, we just talked to them about this, I hope the factory will resend for you asap in this month.

Where do I find an iPhone app for this clock?

For DC 5V Wi-Fi Electronic Alarm Clock

There is almost no information on how to set up this clock. Syncing to wifi is difficult and after several tries I gave up. They mentioned a manual setup method but I couldn't find it.

Brightness level does not dim enough for use in dark bedroom.

Response from ICStation | April 27, 2022

Hello,
please search sinilink via Google play and download there.

Fairly good product with tempered expectations

For 87MHz-108MHz FM Radio Receiver DIY Kit

The radio works okay with some tinkering. The antenna, as others have said, doesn't have a large enough hole for the screw provided. Rather than enlarging the hole I used a #56 nut and bolt to hold it.
The say on all their documentation not to review until you contact them. I did so and waited a month with no reply.

There are design flaws. They say the display is blanked after 10 seconds to save power. It's actually because the display swamps the receiver with noise and makes it unpleasant while displaying.

It should remember the last station between uses but may come up on an adjacent station.

I bought it to listen to a single radio show at the same time every day. It works fine for that purpose.

Richard | Jan. 29, 2022

I bought two so you do not have to!

For DIY Kit RDA5807 87MHz-108MHz FM Radio Receiver

Bought two of these kits - just as well as one of the RDA5807s was defective.

The one that did work sounded truly awful - I had to pack the speaker from the PCB with washers to cure that. The supplier should supply a gasket. This improved matters, but distortion can be an issue.

The two stands and the cut out for the aerial needed modifying with a needle file to ensure successful assembly.

**Safety issue** the supplier recommends an 18650 lithium cell, but there is no charging circuit for it! The builder of this kit would plug this thing straight into a USB power supply using the supplied power lead.....!

Not really recommended - especially any beginners interested in this kit.

Marian | Oct. 11, 2021

Fake product

For Digital Temperature Humidity Controller (13227)

This product was dirty. Part of PCB parts not soldered. It is faked product. Don't recommend to order it for other. It is just reseller of fake goods. I recommend to exclude this company from Tindie. It is possible that it will not work. Not parts soldered near to sensor connector. I will request compensation for this fake good.

Response from ICStation | Oct. 19, 2021

Thank you for contacting us!
Would you please send us some pictures and more details for the mentioned problem?
We will ask the warehouse and factory to verify this.

Dos nok work

For Temperature Control Sound Light Alarm DIY Kits

This appliance does not work. I have checked the solders and that the components are correctly positioned. The 9015 transistor gets very hot. A disappointment.
I bought other DIY kits from ICStation that did not work. Also finished soldered appliances do not work

Fun project, Not for beginners

For DIY Red LED Dot Matrix Clock SMD Soldering Kit

This is a fun SMD project, if a litte tedious. In the end, it works as described. As for instructions, unless you know Chinese, forget it. There is a list that tells you positions and values for everything in English (like R25 is 24ohms or C21 is 100uf), but everything else is Chinese. And the link to show you how to do it is a dude soldering something else, like a solder how-to video...in Chinese. And the link to instructions online are...in Chinese. But if you have experience with SMD, reading codes on components, and polarities of LEDs, this is a fun project.

Richard | Dec. 10, 2020

Doesn't work, asked seller, heard nothing - they don't care!

For 4 Digit 60S Rotary Electronic Clock DIY Kit

I would avoid buying this product. Built it very carefully, intended as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old Nephew.

The Clock thinks that everything starts from 9pm instead of 12pm (when counting seconds). The remote only turns the 7 segment display on or off.

In short, it's very cheap, the components are not great quality, and it's been a huge waste of time for me - and my Nephew won't get a clock for Xmas to help him learn how to tell the time.

Great!!

Richard | Nov. 28, 2020

Cheap and cheerful, fun kit to make

For DIY Audio Spectrum 8x8 Level Indicator Kits(12438)

Got a few of these as small gifts for small people. Fun to make, great practise for soldering. My 5 year old Nephew was amazed that music could make lights dance!!

Jarrah | Sept. 29, 2020

Arrived Broken

For 1.3 inch SPI 240x240 RGB TFT LCD 3.3V (14588)

Came broken in inadequate packaging. Arrived with bent pins and an internally cracked screen, doesn't work at all.

Wim | Sept. 26, 2020

works like a charm

For DIY Kit FM Stereo Radio Module with Headset

Was my first attempt to solder an smd. With some flux it was not that difficult. Assembled the rest. At powerup It din't work. After debugging found out that de battery contacts weren't making good contact. After cleaning them it worked fine. The radio is very sensative. Better reception than my home stereo. I can recommand this kit

Timothy | Sept. 4, 2020

Great!

For QC2.0 QC3.0 Fast Charging Power Module

Works as described. Tested it with an input of 18V (Ryobi One+ 18V) and output to my Galaxy S8. Device happily applied fast charge, and I was abke to draw 12V, 9V and 5V with appropriate amps. Very small size, perfect for adding USB charging ports to things.

Robert | Aug. 27, 2020

Good little kit

For DIY Red LED Dot Matrix Clock SMD Soldering Kit

Got here pretty quick, all things considered, went together good, though some may need help the instructions and the size of the leds that make it a challenge. Works really well and actually keeps pretty good time which is very unusual clock kits from Asia. I build then throw away most as they can not be used for their intended use. All in all, a good kit. I have purchased a few things from Tindie, and it always been a good experience.

Randall | July 26, 2020

Very cool little Clock

For C51 4-Digit LED Electronic Alarm Clock DIY Kit

Was an enjoyable 20 minute diversion with a cool little bright LED clock at the end. Well worth the ~$7.

Randall | Feb. 26, 2020

You get what you pay for..

For 6-Digits Red LED Electronic Clock Kits

Great distractions and a nice little built. But don't go into purchasing this if you are after a acurate time piece, or expecting it to work perfectly. I enjoyed building it just like I enjoy building all the other cheap Chinese sourced clocks. It is soldering practice and a little enjoyable electronic distraction.

I did enjoy this kit and it is just as I expected to be.

Randall | Feb. 15, 2020

Just great

For 6 USB 5V/8A Step Down Buck Converter Module

Now I have a 6 socket 5v Power Board. With al the Z80 SBC's and RC2014 kits I've bought, I now have a convenient way firing them all up at once.

Wassim | Jan. 22, 2020

Works as expected.

For 6 USB 5V/8A Step Down Buck Converter Module

It has no problems powering a little 5V router that wouldn't work on standard usb adapters which switch off if the draw was too low.

Michael | Dec. 28, 2019

LED Hourglass - knows when to go the other way!

For 3.3V-5V Red LED Hourglass DIY Kit (13068)

This is a neat kit .. very easy to assemble and has a gravity switch to know when the "sand" should go the other way!

Works nicely with 3xAAA but will likely wire up a USB cable instead.

Scott | Dec. 24, 2019

Month later, not shipped yet.

For DIY 3D Xmas Tree 7 Color Flash LED Kits(7213)

I bet this would be cool. Ordered it in November for a chance to have it by Christmas. Well, it'll have to wait until next year I guess...

Hui | Dec. 15, 2019

It has been ordered long time ago, I haven't received yet

For 100kg Thin Film Pressure Sensor for Arduino(11690)

The order has been placed long time ago and I haven't received a product yet.

I have tried to contact the seller, they just provide a non-trackable number.

I still don't have the product yet. Terrible!!!!

Response from ICStation | Dec. 15, 2019

Hello Hui.
Sorry to cause you the bad experience.
The tracking number can be tracked on 17track.net.
https://t.17track.net/en#nums=LS157993227CN
It seemed the package has been got stuck somewhere due to the safety inspection along with that batch of other packages.
Only when it arrive in USA, it can be tracked on USPS website.
Could we suggest you to wait 2 weeks?
If package still not move, we can refund to you first, and when package arrive, you can return the money to us.
Best regards

Truly unbelievable

For 10pcs 3W White COB LED Roundness Light Lamp(12898)

I just got 20 of these for DIY LED lighting projects, and I just can't believe how bright they are. So thin, so flat, so easy to solder to. I limited the source current to 300mA (3 Watts) and at 10 volts, they can really light up a room. You can feel the heatsink warm up after a minute on, so they do need to be heat-sinked well for long duration use. But it is still only 3W you need to sink. Really impressive. Will buy many more.

Michael | Sept. 27, 2019

Hourglass or sideways bowtie?

For Electronic Hourglass DIY Kit with LED Lamps(12309)

Neat kit! Looks nice and bright with blue LEDs. The button to change the speed is a nice touch.

I use this power cord ... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079NRFL5L

Nick | Aug. 16, 2019

Doesn't work for me

For Phone Signal Radiation Indicator DIY(5202)

Nice kit, although you need a fine soldering iron. Could do with instructions but a bit of googling and it was sorted. Didn't work though. Put it down to dodgy soldering, tested the components, eventually cut them all off and soldered without a board, still won't work. I can get a reading with a multimeter just not enough to light the LED.

Well take it to work and try it with a 3cm wave transmitter.
