[0:00] I found a super cool programmable voltage adapter for powering and charging items and
[0:09] It is from a company called werewolf and they called their system V flex and
[0:15] What it is is this little teeny tiny adapter?
[0:19] one-end has a proprietary connector on it and they have cables that have all manner of different sized barrel connectors on it
[0:28] For most items and then the other end is a USB C
[0:32] Now what I'm going to do is plug this fella in right here and
[0:39] This USB meter will light up and it tells me it's got 5.09 volts and
[0:46] You can see that the light is lit blue right here
[0:50] So what I'm going to do now is let's take a look at
[0:56] This this is a
[0:58] Microsoft Edge browser
[1:00] You have to use it in an edge or a Google Chrome based browser
[1:06] It's an mid. I control her and you can see that it says it's connected right here
[1:13] so I am going to hit modify and
[1:17] I want six volts for the device that I'm going to use and
[1:23] The adapter is now programmed for six volts, and that's pretty cool. So let's move on to the next step
[1:32] Now we're at the next step. I have taken this little battery bank. It has a
[1:38] USB C
[1:40] PD port PD stands for power delivery and
[1:44] As you recall we programmed it to six volts and
[1:50] You might see that there is a green light on here. It's already to negotiate
[1:56] So once again, we're moving on to the next step
[2:00] So I'm rooting around in the attic the other day and I find this Nikon cool walker and
[2:08] This was a device that would allow you to display your photos and then you would
[2:14] Put your compact flash card from your camera in the slot and upload them to a mechanical hard drive in the device
[2:22] And then you could view your pictures
[2:24] The real advantage to this device was that
[2:29] Back in the day compact flash cards with high capacities were very expensive
[2:34] So you would take your compact flash card insert it in here
[2:39] Upload your photos to the mechanical hard drive that's in here and then pull your compact flash card
[2:46] format it and then
[2:49] Rinse and repeat so it was kind of a cool device
[2:52] But the battery it's in it is called a Nikon
[2:56] EL6
[2:59] Nikon's the only one that made it they only made it for this device
[3:03] No third-party vendors have it ever made this battery or duplicated it and
[3:09] This battery is quite dead. It will not charge no way
[3:14] No, how now one of these days I may try to rig something up else up
[3:18] But we'll see so as you recall. I programmed this guy for six volts
[3:24] This device actually the specs say five to six volts
[3:28] But I found mechanical hard drives a little sketch at five volts
[3:33] So I want six volts in this thing
[3:35] So I have this thing plugged into the little
[3:39] Battery brick or the battery charging brick portable one and I'm going to plug it into the cool walker and you can see
[3:48] There's this proprietary connector and I need to plug it in in this direction
[3:54] I do believe and
[3:56] kind of got to give it a snap
[3:59] Right there, so you can see on my cool walker that an amber light came on and
[4:05] It's supposed to be flashing and that would indicate that it's taking a charge, but again this battery is dead as
[4:13] A door nail so I'm gonna turn it on
[4:16] light turns green
[4:21] Cool walker screen comes up. I don't know how well you can see that
[4:26] Right can't and then it says play hard drive images to my surprise
[4:31] There were thousands of photos on this thing that I had not seen or
[4:36] Don't have duplicates having uploaded them to a computer in years
[4:41] If I did upload them at some point, I lost them, but I with this deflect system
[4:47] I was able to retrieve every one of those photos
[4:51] So it cost a few bucks, but to me it was worth it to see all those pictures some of them were quite
[4:59] sentimental to me so
[5:01] That's it. That's the system in a nutshell
[5:04] I strongly recommend it. I really really thoroughly enjoy this system
