Genuine Chinese PCB Manufacturer Tests (Patreon)

This week I got familiar designing PCBs with EasyEDA and finished a first version of an esp programmer PCB. Since I'm constantly spammed by the Chinese manufacturers for sponsoring, I decided I will do a genuine test before I do any cooperation. I used Brian Loughs technique to panelize the small boards so I get 60 boards from a $2 order (plus like $6 shipping). I took the cheap shipping so it will take few weeks before that stuff arrives. If it turns out nicely I'll probably do a sponsorship and pay my bills :-D

The board itself is a programmer specific to ESP modules including the reset circuit etc.
Once that board works I consider even a PCB assembly service. This will simplify some future PCB projects and I will finally have some treats I can share with you :-D

I think this got two sides. On one hand its helping you making more and better content on the other hand i pay Youtube Premium because i don't wanna see Ads but support the creators. But with sponsoring the ads are in the Video. I do not realy like that :/ Many Chanels place it on the start of the Video, i hate that. On the end its kinda okaybecause i can just go to the next Video. Ofc i could just skip it, but skipping takes mutch more time than klicking on the next video.

Please don't worry. I don't want to waste your time watching commercials. I just want them to pay for stuff I would do anyways. I'm trying to keep the commercial part out of my videos for as long as possible now but my savings are less and less. I will be forced to increase my income in a few months

As i said, if you just try and place the commercials on the end/description or on your Webside, its fine for me.

I see no problem with having sponsors. Everybody needs to make a living, and I will take a sponsored video with great content any days over no video at all... Besides, a review of chinese PCB manufacturers is exactly what I would like to see... On another note, paying for youtube premium is a completely separate issue. As I understand it, the revenue from the youtube ads (or premium subscription) mostly goes to youtube, and very little makes it to the content producers. I think it's unfair to expect only non-sponsored video if you decided to pay youtube for the privilege of not having youtube ads wedged into other people's videos...
