What is in the Box?


 

"What is in the Box?"   I do not like to publish every single electronic item I bought or receive.  However it seems that this is quite a popular topic and that readers would like to see more of these posts.  Please note that I do not publish these to brag or boast about but purely out of interest to readers.  Furthermore I do not get paid to talk, review or publish items of manufacturers. 

Items:

  • 40 x 25mm  Jewellers Loupe Magnifier Magnifying Eye Glass
  • 1 x SanDisk Ultra  64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
  • 2 x Sandisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Card

What do I have in mind for the above modules? 

Jewellers Loupe Magnifier

Well I would not have bought this little gem if I have not "lost" my old plastic double lens magnifier.  I n searched everywhere but cannot find the old magnifier.  I visited local Asian shops but did not find something suitable.  An online emporium advertised this 40 x 25mm  Jewellers Loupe.  I had to rely on some pictures and reviews about the quality and effectiveness of this magnifier.  This is really a gem and it functions very well.  At some stage I will do a video review. So look out for this one.

SanDisk Ultra  64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

To be used as a backup drive for the GRHub Network AllStar firmware.

2 x Sandisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Card

Both will be used for future Raspberry Pi Projects.  Look out for these projects to be published on this Blog.
