  1. A while back I got a new digital 'scope. The one I'd been using was okay, but only 8-bit and had some other limitations. The vertical resolution was actually starting to make it difficult to get accurate-enough readings of some things I was working with.

    The new one is 12-bit. That is likely to be better than I will ever need. I'm happy with it. Being several years newer (and a different brand) it brings some new #features to the table.

    One is that you can use it as a digital logic analyzer - it can sample a whole lot of inputs (rather than just 4 analog channels) quickly if it only has to tell on from off. But you have to get a whole lot of #signals into the #scope before you can do that, so you need a #connector with a lot of pins/signals.

    You could use something standard for this type of application (which is still going to be a limited-audience part), or a custom thing, but those options are expensive. So instead, if you're the manufacturer, you find a common (and therefore #cheap) #connector with lots of #pins, and you re-use that. Done and dusted!

    They picked ... the HDMI connector. It's there at the bottom of the middle of the control panel. And in the manual is the prominent (not) warning:

    > WARNING: Non-standard HDMI interface, Siglent device ONLY, or you will damage your device.

    Yes, if you plug anything HDMI-related into this obvious #HDMI port, you will cause damage to your 'scope, or your other device.

  3. #oscilloscope buffs: Is this scope from Thunderbirds a model that is real? It looks real enough...

  4. Before I lost the job that I moved for, I had been planning to buy a decent LCD Oscilloscope, but that changed when I was let go.

    Now I find myself needing an oscilloscope because I have to bias a bunch of JFET transistors.

  9. "Harmony of the Spheres"

    Finally back to Oscilloscope-Music and here I used #synthmaster3 for the sound, spreading the phase of 4 voices to get interesting patterns in the X/Y view.
    Adding a bit of Distortion in #Osci-Render.

    I so love this! :-)

    Thanks to James Ball for this magical tool!

  13. ШИР - Широтно-импульсный регулятор. Реализован не в #arduino среде, тут только #c #avrgcc #avrdude и #atmega328p Хотел проверить сервопривод, но он кажется мертв... Но, я надеюсь что со специальным устройством проверки он вдруг оживёт :ablobcatnod: AMEN

  14. Today I used a Red Pitaya and I thought maybe I should buy one. Later, I remembered I am poor.

  15. I'm starting a series of peace's I call Oscilloscopic Dreams.
    If you know what that word means,
    Please share you Dorkness with me.🤓
    the first Color test I hated so much way too many colors.,
    Pretty though it maybe Its not what I envisioned.
    Black and Gold Starkness I feel fits my vibes more.
