Kitchen Teardowns

As promised in my earlier post I'm going to include a lot more content in my blog including Teardowns of consumer products that could hold some interesting parts and ideas for projects.

For this first video I'm goingto teardown An AppGear Elite Command AR app blaster. These originally retailed for around £25 I found mine in local bargains outlet  for 99p making it a great teardown 'On A Budget'.

Got some nice bits out of this Teardown including:

0.25W 8Ohm speaker

Button contacts

Housing for future projects 

Battery holder 

4 Pole 3.5mm jack to exposed wire 

sound chip with a nice gun sound 

and 

Sonix snap01 0.75wattt class AB audio amp IC

datasheet Here

Just goes to show you don't need lots of money to build up your parts collection.
