Lucky birthday boy

(1/2) > >>

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?

I'm not seeing a DMM in that list. 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?

You need another DMM.  :P
