  1. Lazy Sunday afternoon project, a simple *PC817 OptoCoupler tester.

    Two very simple ~5V circuits:

    1) Quick check — push the button, LED on = works.

    2) Test Circuit as mentioned in the datasheet for frequency / pulse behavior test.

    Nothing fancy, but handy for sorting out good vs questionable parts.

  2. Improving my test bench for future projects, I wrote a small PyQt5 GUI to control my Siglent SDG2042X from a remote Ubuntu desktop.

    It handles basic waveform setup, sweeps, bursts, presets (so you can adjust at the generator and than load down for later), ARB upload/download (not fully tested yet), and SCPI commands, also screenshots.

    I’m more of a hardware guy than a coder (for sure there will be some bugs), so feedback are welcome. Fork if you like.
