Translation of Gikfun's EK1885 kit

1 comment:
I've recently taken an interest in electronics and decided I wanted to try my hand at soldering surface-mount devices (SMD) to circuit boards. I've seen many YouTube videos (see links below) on how to do this, but my practical experience has been minuscule, involving only a few single-chip breakout boards.

In order to gain a bit more experience with SMD soldering, I searched Amazon for any SMD practice boards. There aren't many, but there are a few. I selected the Gikfun EK1885 kit (Amazon link), because in addition to being a board to practice on, half of the board actually does something - it uses a timer and a counter chip to make a group of LEDs flash in a simple pattern.

Bing Mi! restaurant

劍兵 (sword soldier) on the sign is not associated with the delicious wrap in terms of context, rather it is the homophone of 煎餅 (Chinese pancake wrap).

I don't personally have a problem with a Chinese restaurant that is not owned and operated by a Chinese person, but their (or their marketing consultant's) decision to generate a Chinese logo using the wrong text is just unforgivable. Google Translate is not a suitable source for things like this, and nobody who actually reads/writes Chinese would make a mistake like this.
