D'oh. Thanks for sharing. I am totally doing that from now on. :-+ :-+ |

The board width wasn't just right for both rows to plug in, so I did one side, and just used a few wads of heat shrink tubing to support the other side. Worked a treat. Much nice than trying to tack them in place with glue or tacky blue loctite goop, etc., and then solder with the board elevated. I'll definitely be using this in the future when dealing with header pins. Thanks again for sharing the tip, exe! |

Needed a 1kV signal so hooked up my bench DMM to the source to tune it. Turned on the source. ... The source goes up to 2kV and that was exactly what it was still set to. Hint: the bench DMM goes up to 1kV. |

:-DD. Reminds me of the BM22s I tortured a while back Still works even when it got 2.1KV! Made some unpleasant noises though. |
