Check out this photo from last night’s Electronics Night at Tog Hackerspace. We were testing vintage gear, including this oscilloscope and function generator. Proper hands on fun.

working on my photography setup for capturing old gear. Picked up a diffusion umbrella for my 2nd flash, so now I have 2 diffuse flashes. I still need a proper surface to put stuff on, as well as a back drop, but I'm feeling better about the lighting. Shot with a Nikon D810 & 105mm Macro.

Today I worked on my remote control GUI for the SDG2042X.

This project is now becoming usable for my test bench: Did some bugfixes, added configuration file, path settings (screenshot and pre-saved Settings) and, most important, context-sensitive input fields that depend on the waveform.

But the GUI still in a very early stage, at example, the ARB management isn't really working yet, that's still on my to-do list.

& yes, the GUI is ugly as hell, but at this stage of the project, the functionality is more important to me.

Un autre projet trouvé par @altomare : Un PCB du fréquencemètre à microprocesseur publié dans le magazine #Elektor de janvier 1985 (propulsé par un #mos6502 !)
Ce PCB a été partiellement monté, il en faut un autre pour le panneau avant et un 3ème pour les étages d'entrée/prediviseurs.
J'ai commencé à rassembler les composants, notamment l'afficheur type VFD avec 16 digits 14 segments. J'en ai trouvé un qui est bien plus gros que prévu 😅 , mais ça va le faire.
Ah oui et le vidage hexadécimal de l'EPROM n'existe à ma connaissance que dans les pages du magazine, il va y avoir du boulot pour faire marcher tout ça !

I’m looking for a good cheap logic analyser, and am considering an innomaker / Kingst LA2016 https://amzn.eu/d/4KsSO7l - I know the test clips can be improved, but it seems to meet my needs (16 channels, 200MHz sampling) - not bad for ~ £150.. Do you have any views/recommendations for better choices for similar price? To be used for Raspberry Pi Pico GPIO/PIO digital logic tests. Thanks! #Electronics #testequipment #HamRadio #rasppi #raspberrypi

Using DuPont connectors in the ZIF socket made it wear out a bit. The first three positions don't grip as tightly as they should. So I modified my component tester. Now it has a three pin DuPont socket at the top. I like how it looks.
I should've done it from the beginning.
