The test station design: ruclips.net/video/AaJjgjbHcn8/видео.html and old version designs on my channel ;) search for "pav10k"
OMG, amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome! That's a pretty cool 3D printed board holder in your jig too! Can you tell us what that mysterious chip with its own resonator is? 😬
@@DavidCranor first link if you google "063A marking rtc"
@@txyzinfo cool, a real-time clock! thanks!
@@txyzinfo Awesome, thank you! I updated the component list on the blog post: beckystern.com/2020/01/28/pavlok-teardown/
Yay Becky! Yay teardowns! Tear down allthethings!
Thank you.
Woot Woot yay! Great to see a new video from you! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I like the teardown vids! Thanks Becky!
Thanks!
Awesome walking tour of an IC, well done!
Thank you!
The Pavlok was very affective. Every time Becky received a shock, I stopped eating chips.
😆
finally, someone made teardown!
heck yeah!
Thank you for this, I got this to wake me up from not being able to hear alarms. Had issues with it connecting to galaxy a series, got it working on older phone then after a week of use the darn thing quit shocking me. Got a replacement and same issue after about a week of wearing it it stopped shocking like it isn't making a connection to the metal parts of the case. The metal parts even fell off both of them didn't have to fiddle with anything to get it apart.
NOT EXACTLY WHAT SOMEONE EXPECTS WITH THIS PRICE
thank u . good video for a sophisticated design
It was really helpful....thank you
good teardown
thank you it is very useful
Really interesting!
Interesting tear down. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Hola, acabo de comprar este dispositivo y me ha gustado mucho verlo desarmado y la explicación de sus componentes. Gracias y felicitaciones por el vídeo.
Like this kind of video, Thanks
Maybe they have split accel/gyro for battery reasons: keep the accelerometer awake to detect motion, and then wake up the gyro when the device starts moving to start characterizing the motion (hand to mouth, for instance). Maybe they couldn't get a combined part that allowed for sleeping the individual aspects...
Ah, very keen hypothesis!
This channel has potential .
Thank you for trying this out so we don't have to! 😅 It was neat to see the teardown!
Glad you liked it!
It has a full bridge rectifier circuit
Yay cool!
I've bought 2. Both have stopped working /malfunctioned within 2 or 3 months of use. Watching this video to see how to break it down to inspect since they won't replace this one.
On the pavlok website it is stated that the product is backed by a 1-year limited warranty and will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Will they not honor the warranty is what you are saying?
Hello Becky, do you think it is possible to get inside the device without damaging the body? I'm asking in case I want to replace the batteries :)
Now you got an forever subscriber :) those videos have a lot simplified info. Continue the work, thats how we move forwards to the OpenFuture :) I just don't understand why this channel has still 30k subscribers? :D
When you turned up the shock I was like"No Becky don't do it!" I hate getting shocked so much.
Haha!
Nice teardown!
With respect to the second shock-recipient at the end of the video, there was possibly a difference in skin conductance. It can vary from many factors (eg. seasonal, moisturizers/lotions, hydration, sweat from temperature or sympathetic response, pressure, location), so it might have been an apples-to-oranges comparison!
It’s possible to see some of that directly in action by pinching some multimeter probes (with a very small distance between them), and seeing the resistance change with pinch-strength. :)
So you're saying I'm not a weenie?!
Probably not! :)
Given you were experiencing a muscle spasm in response to the stronger settings and Recipient #2 seemed unphased, I’m willing to guess one way or another there was less current.
Recipient #2 had their wrist on the table, so the contact pressure was likely lessened (due to the stiff/springy silicone). Also, admittedly hair density/thickness could play a role, further reducing pressure for the skin that is in contact. It could merit caution (not sure by how much it could be change the shock), but I’d guess rotating it to below the wrist and resting the weight of the forearm on it would be a more consistent test case... but that’s getting silly in the “For Science!” domain of shocking friends. :P
Wet skin might help as well, to minimize variance from skin type and care.
Could the unknown component be a realtime clock? It would explain the crystal.
It is!
Cool stuff Becky! 😃👍🏻⚡👊🏻 ....... Even with no bad habits to break, being able to use it as a reminder/alarm definitely seems useful, especially if you're someone who has trouble hearing alarms, typically wakes to shut the alarm and fall back asleep, or if you're in need of a silent alarm for whatever reason..... Have you tested having it wake you?
I have not, because alarm clocks make me very sad. But that is the most popular use case!
@@BeckyStern yeah, not having to hear an alarm clock is one of the things that I look forward to most for when I retire.... ⏰=👎🏻
Whelp, that answers why my Pavlok won’t zap anymore, one of the tiny loops that’s meant to make contact with the casing has snapped off :(
Aww, glad I could help but sorry about yours.
You don't need to shock yourself until you answer a question wrong.
Interesting video.. I didn't know such a device existed. As for the difference in pain that people might feel ... I'm guessing there are differences in skin conductivity between people... so you may not be a suck, you may just be getting a bigger jolt.
That makes sense! =D
I love you...tech girl
I like the teardown and the
Explains the whole board
Usually i watch #bigclivedotcom & #DiodeGoneWild he also do same thing
How does it detect when you're grinding your teeth?
@@breathlessblizzard Which works fine if you're awake...
I do it while I'm awake and still have trouble noticing every time.
@@BeckyStern I know what you mean. I used to grind my teeth (don't any more; not sure why) and only realised when my teeth started to ache.
You could use it on a dog to stop it barking but I think that the dog would chew it off somehow.
Do not do that. There are specially made shock collars for dog training purposes.
Can I have it? 🥺 I have sleep bad habit but I can't afford one
It'll be a surgical implant with GPS and audio monitoring. 😂
Like the bloodstream prison nanobots in Diamond Age!
@@BeckyStern nanotechnology is a really exciting idea. But omg scary stuff as well. :)
*Can i have it plss, i need it in school😢*
IF YOU HAD TAKEN A FEW PHOTOS BY HOLDING A FLASH FROM GOD, I WOULD HAVE REMOVED A CIRCUIT BOARD.
