Transistor Texter!
« on: April 22, 2015, 12:44:30 pm »
Tired of texting your friends? Well, now they've invented a way to text your favorite transistors. This way, they can tell you their parameters in a text message!

I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

hahahaha that's hilarious. Well spotted with the ZIF socket as well.

Not sure what the autobot logo is for either  :-//

I have one with the same insides but no spelling mistakes. Take care to fully discharge caps before popping them in, or you'll have one destined for landfill, like I did.

I have an older "transistor tester" but I saw a newer version in a video that's got a whole lot faster startup speed. This one -

I ordered it, but I don't know if it will "text" the transistors or not. I just ran across that funny labelling in the process of looking. Some of them are starting to package the things a little better, but they still have some work to do as far as the labels.  :)
