Sod your work bench, what can you see from your window!

[nctnico]

The moon:

And a cat surveying the roof across the street:

Not the best start to a thead about cats, but somebody had to do it!

i can't repeat the one review the book got!

[SeanB]

I just rent the cats, though sadly the neighbours cat, Tatty, had to be put down last week, due to kidney failure.

Still got one upstairs, it is an indoor cat, terrified of the big outdoors.

One thing I've been wanting to play with for a while is using an SRAM or UV-EEPROM as an imaging device

Might be interesting.
You will only get a 1 bit image, i suspect.
Unless you use groups of bits as pixels, and average the erasures.

I did an experiment of erasing a EPROM chip with an image under power, and seeing how it decays.
Might be interesting to you -

I have a DRAM based camera for the BBC micro (Micro robotics EV1).



Here is an article describing the idea, my guess is that the EV1 is based on that article:

In the neighbourhood, outside an electronics engineer's home whose career had long ago shifted offshore...

One copy is selling for 500 bucks.
Shall we sticky this thread?

The message body can't be empty, so here's mine.

View from my bench and from another window . . .

[Red Squirrel]

View from my home office is basically my neighbour's yard, and I'd look kinda like a creeper if I was seen taking a pic, same with the backyard, so here's a pic from my front window. 



This is what it looked like in January, and till around mid April:



It actually melted pretty fast this year, but at a decent pace that it did not cause water issues.   We usually get a foot or so around Mother's day but it looks like we're in the clear this year.

[staxquad]

For now all I can see is indoor greenery at the window above the work bench.



Using fluorescent lights instead of a reflective box to grow my tomatoes this year, 16 hours/day (on timer), plus Cupron wire heating pads and temp controller to keep the soil > 22*C (hysteresis is adjusted to 2*C).

They grew so fast with the lights I had to re-pot them last week and they still need to be indoors 4 more weeks before planting them.  One of them seems to be developing flower buds.

'Tomatoes'.. yeah right lol

[Zero999]

It's a shame this thread wasn't started a couple of weeks ago. There's a nice flowering cherry outside my house but the flowers have now gone.

The sea points to France. Not my window but a 10 minute drive away


Out of the office window... Well. 2 miles of open grass & some trees.

No, real tomatoes. The other stuff looks a little like that, but is easy to tell apart. Looks like small marigolds when starting out, but after about a month the taller thicker plant is quite distinctive. I have to weed them out of the garden every so often, they tend to grow wild here.

BTW I have a few marigolds in my window box, they are even flowering now. I am going to grow them to control the mosquitoes as they do not like the smell.

That's moody.. I do like the sea and sky without people and animals cluttering the view. I guess it's just me being an anti-social bastard at heart. Or the Reggie Perrin lurking within me...

[ivan747]

Another ones I got on a park and a monument. That's a bit far away from the window  but I guess it counts.

If I turn 90 degrees to my left while at the bench here:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/whats-your-work-benchlab-look-like-post-some-pictures-of-your-lab/msg686366/#msg686366 I see this:

Is that Sandown beach ? Had to do a double take as its very similar to Swanage beach and cliffs which i can see out of my workshop window!

Yeah, shanklin/Sandown seafront.  Bliss

I can see half the pool pump house and on this particular day, the sun has just come out after the pissing rain stopped...
(Normally I can just see sky.)
The sun didn't last long. A photo 5 minutes later would have just been a big dark grey patch.

How do you drive six monitors? Or is that not a single computer?

[mian2zi3]

I can see Rhode and Schwarz out my window.  I want to go over and ask if they have, I dunno, prototypes they don't need...

@tautech
I don't know why people seem so surprised at the fact that it is so easily possible... given a bit of budget...
However, I still stand by the statement - "Because I can".

I've used 2 for years, it's been enough, but ocassionally I've wanted both a schematic and a PCB AND datasheets available, then I yearn for more. 
I'll keep battling away with the 2 x 4:3 screens I have untill they die.....then look out...probably 2 x 24" 16:9.

Anyway your setup rocks Mr.B. 
But your bench is WAY too tidy. 
And lacking in Siglent gear.........
