🚗 Automotive Electronics Hobbyist Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Jordan Lee - DIY Automotive Tinkerer
"Used the Pro Model in a custom CAN bus monitor project. The enhanced power efficiency really shines when running off the vehicle’s battery. Soldering the TSSOP was tricky at first—definitely recommend a fine-tip iron—but once in place, it’s rock solid."
