| PerranOak:
The boss has said that I can choose my pressie for my upcoming birthday; I reckon £200, tops. This amount is a one-off for this year (she got a bonus!): I am a lucky boy! I already have: scope, bench PSU, sig gen, lots of books, all the basic stuff. I’m into microcontrollers (PIC) and sensing. My question is: what should I ask for? If I don’t come up with something, I’ll end up with some expensive item of clothing no doubt! :'( |
| RoGeorge:
- nanoVNA and some RF cables/connectors, or - Raspberry Pi kit with display and camera, or - LiDAR mapping sensor, or - 3D printer kit, or - optical stereo inspection microscope, or - ... What would you want? |

If already present, you need at least one more. |

Great ideas RoGeorge though I don't now what a nanoVNA is really. Can you get a good 3D printer for £200? Sorry both forgot to say I also have RPi stuff and a Fluke 87V. Also, Hakko FX-888D and PICkit3. What about an EEPROM programmer? Are they, pretty much, all able to programme all, pretty much, chips? |
