Sorry for lack of videos of late. I do have two in the can but want to release them after the next one. Various reasons for delays, been away on hols/vacation, my computer bust and I've made some large changes to my employment. Hopefully video out next week and then 1 a week for another 3 weeks after that to make up! Hope you're all managing this pesky cost of living crises, take care and look after your mental health :)

Just released the magic smoke from my 2Mhz clock module. I'd been swapping different frequencies in an out whilst doing some measurements. Put the chip in upside down... Doh! Proper annoying 😭

Bit of a delay for next update /video. I've had two computers break (desktop and laptop) within days of each other. Both fixable but need to do the fixing...

Why is it lately (over perhaps last 8-10 videos) that as soon as they go live the first hour seems to have 3-5 spam comments with links to porn. I remove, report etc. as quickly as I can but damn their persistent. Can't be just me that's affected. You'd think that YouTube could filter these more effectively.

I've never mentioned that I am on odysee/Lbry and I've been on there for several months
Watch me there for an add free experience!
odysee.com/@XTronical:9
Earn Lbry coins as well as you go. eevblog has done some videos on it. I'm finding I'm watching more and more on that platform as the mid rolls are getting ridiculous on you tube. And you can "tip" creators directly on their too using the lbry coins you earn every day for just watching.
Thanks in advance if you subscribe (follow)

Well, if you didn't know already, you do now, the You Tube community tab feature is knackered (English term - exhausted and can't go on). So you're seeing this and probably not even sub'd to me - and your angry, very angry. That's why it's broken. It's being exploited (or will be) by big corporations, I've got on your feed and so can they, so the normal 'tubers are fighting back by posting and showing YouTube they need to fix it, so please vote in the pole as this will (strangely I know) help with the fix. Also like and comment for even greater effect! OK, now a bunch of irrelevant trending search words;
Yes, if you're not subbed and don't like electronics, computers, coding etc. YOU SHOULD NOT be seeing this but chances are you are, so make a comment, choose a poll, click like. We are hoping to prove a point to YouTube to fix this w4nkery. OK, you can stop reading now, bunch of irrelevant search terms coming up
PewDiePie (that's gotta be there surely), Baby Shark (hell, why not), Kim Kardashian (I've heard of her), Taylor Switft breakup (no idea if she has but hey ho), minecraft (I do actually play this but not on the channel), jackscepticeye (heard of, never watched), music,asmr, markiplier (who is that?, honestly I'm even pinching these from a tuber called Blunty), makeup, fashion, beauty, haul, try on, diet, eyeliner (getting desperate now), shane dawson, james charles, mrbeast, kpop, hip hop, lofi, dantdm (he exploded when my oldest was young, slogoman (like dantdm), game of thrones, avengers endgame is something apparantly, of course roblox, peppa pig, dunke. And pinching till from Blunty: Thanos, fifa, joe biden, yogcast, the spiffing brit (who started all this), fortnite (of course you gotta have that), and now some of my own, elon musk, tesla, and now some actually that are relevant to my channels, eps32, arduino, electronics, microcontroller, computers, dac, adc, coding, programing, c#, c++,c, python, raspberry pi, pico, s3. I think that'll do, I'm bored now. This had better give me 1million+ new subs, Mwahhhhhhhhh.... I shall give up my day job and exploit my subs by selling them crappy t-shirts with a pointless slogan on.
Enough already!

So, Google have just suspended ads on my website (www.xtronical.com) due to suspicious activity. These pay for the website (well just, sometimes not enough). Basically my one choice is to go to a forum for help. I don't click my own ads (which is against the rules obviously) so an external source has been doing some sort of "bot" clicking or something. I don't have time to investigate and sort this. They won't review for a least 30 days and probably longer. FFS.

OK, I've updated all my videos to turn off mid-role ads, as YouTube had turned it on as default for any video that was 8 mins and above. I think for my type of video (for many types of video) this is too disruptive. I've randomly checked two videos and they do seem to be removed. If you spot anything then drop me a comment on the video in question and i'll investigate.
Don't know yet if this will affect my videos being promoted to new viewers, time will tell. Thanks for your patience and for watching/reading :)

Sorry, due to technical issues I've had to pull the latest video, it will be back up shortly in a re-edited format. Very annoying for me as it was performing very well with good interaction from you amazing people!

Videos focusing on the bringing together of software and electronics, using Arduino, PIC, ARM etc. Plus general electronics and coding tips!
