New Here!
SomeGuy:
Hey everyone, new here but have been reading for a little while. I've started working on an RC project (building a wheeled RC tank from scratch) and was researching some electronics equipment and came across this place, impressed with just how much information there is here. Helped me decide on getting a Siglent SPD3303X-E bench power supply and Siglent SDS1104X-E scope.
The bench supply was pretty much a no brainer that I needed one, lots of low voltage DC equipment to power up and test and a lot easier/less risky than plugging in big battery packs.
The scope I ended up getting because I ran into some issues with the RC receiver and motor drivers not talking nice to each other. Helped me understand what was going on with them.
Anyway, I hope this isn't against the rules, but I am documenting the build on YouTube if you want to check it out:

I have part 1 up now, and explains that RC/driver problem I ran into. I'll probably get part 2 up this weekend as my new motor drivers arrived today. Also a couple "shorts" (less than 1 minute videos) of unboxing of both pieces of Siglent gear I just got, nowhere near as good as some of the deep dive videos the guys here have done, but I'm also new to this YouTube thing...I'm actually learning electronics, YouTube, and machining (recently got a metal lathe) all at once for this project :)
Anyway, nice to be here and I'm sure I'll be using this place for more research as I work through this project.
Cheers! :-+

I don't know whether posting a link to your blog is against the rules. Others have done that here. However, your only other post on this forum is also a link to your blog. That type of double posting is frowned upon, but its not fatal so far as I know.

I think it’s ok as long as it’s not posted for commercial/advertising purposes, which does require moderator approval.

I realized the other forum was there after I made this post.
Honestly, I've just been doing more reading here than anything. Most of the topics are a bit over my head so I don't have a lot to add at this point.
SomeGuy:
Part 3 of the RC Tank Build is finally up, has taken a while getting parts and learning how to use a lathe, but none the less it's here:

Also, seems I didn't share Part 2...but this has the Siglent scope and power supply I picked up from reading stuff here on this forum...used it to figure out some of the RC signal issues :)
