.... in fact having more test gear can make it way more difficult to solve problems, especially if you don't have a good understanding of the basic principles.

That is very true.

It always helps to have a circuit diagram so you can trace through and understand the operation but of course if you don't have one then you learn reverse engineering quickly too, a very handy skill that's enabled me to earn a decent living.

I sound like a grumpy old man but the 'net and easy access to forums like this as well as datasheets and a huge number of online schematics really has made it a lot easier to avoid having to be able to think for yourself.

If only I'd have known .....

Still - I don't think I would have had a chance.

Even if I had - I cannot begrudge the winners.  Very good choices.

Well done R&S  :-+

I learnt a few things which I missed this time around....
  • Wait until near the end before making your submission
  • Mention your blog/website
  • Mention your teaching/outreach
  • Mention your hackerspace/community work
Next time perhaps.

In the meantime it's amazing what you can do with a 2 channel Rigol and some imagination.   :)

Oh shyte! More scopes for the same batch of videos? That's totally unfair, but in a good way.
I was so stupid not to enter the giveaway, now I'm a little bit jealous!

Well done Dave & David & Rohde & Schwartz & winners, glad for you all, well done!

So more than one year is passed. Here my last statistic.

Overall my conclusion is that this kind of contests did not help to grow the community ....
