2.5" SATA USB cases


The black ones are usb 3.0. The silver ones are usb 2.0.
There is VIA chip in one of the black ones, it works really bad, keeps coming up as a strange device in device manager: VLI manufacture String

VIA is hopeless. The other one is ok.

Nexa remote control power switches

I was unable to read  only markings on the chip.
433MHz

Bought on Clas Ohlson: http://www.clasohlson.com/no/Nexa-PE-3-3-pack-fjernstr%C3%B8mbrytere/36-4602
Works very well.

 Nexa seems to be a rebrand of COCO power switches:

PL2303HX USB To TTL Auto Converter Adapter controller Module for arduino

I have ordered some 433MHx receivers and transmitters and is trying to communicate with them from a PC. I had a USB to TTL adapter lying around and figured I try that first (will try to hook it up to Arduino next).

QI wireless charging

I have a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7 v2 and discovered they support wireless changing via QI standard. Bought one of these http://www.dx.com/p/qi-x5-mobile-wireless-charger-black-298118 and it worked great. Ordered a second one, but noticed the packing was different: first one was in a cardbox, second one was just in a plastic bag. They look the same thou. But when I plugged in the second one it did not work, no led was lit and it did not work. Was about to RMA it, but then I dissected it instead.
