Or maybe go to the local purveyor of oriental cuisine and slip them a few bucks for some new ones...

True, I neglected to mention that option. It's probably more suitable for obtaining a smaller number of units.

Hello
This is my small but nice bench.
I havent got a big bunch of gear..but its enough for me:)
You are seeing:
TTI EL183 power supply
TTI 1.3Ghz Counter
Thalheimer isolating mains transformer
HP436A Power Meter
China HotAir
Manson power supply
Rohde&Schwarz CMU200
Voltcraft oscilloscope
Rohde&Schwarz TSMU
20A Power Supply for Radios
Blanko PSU
Weller WD1000 with WP80
Nice grounded an soft place for the ESD-Cat

Not in picture:
Hsnd tools

A Rohde&Schwarz NAS in parts...which im trying to calibrate....but i havent got the Service manual...maybee someone can help?

Along that i have a small collection of RF Adapters and test leads

Currently im searching for an new oscilloscope(no siglent and rigol;)
and an good spectrum analyzer like a FSEA30 or so...but this one isnt easy to get in Europe..especially not as a broken one....in the US they go for about 300$ but shipping and tax is expensive.In general it isnt always easy as a student..but its going on;)

Regards

I need a bigger workbench.

For a long time I've been wanting to build a whole new computer desk, something L shaped that takes up 2 walls of the room, it will then double as electronic workbench. The problem with my current setup is any time I'm doing microcontroller stuff or whatever I have to dismantle everything just to bring it to the PC to program it. Iti's a pain in the butt. My biggest goal is to condition and finish my garage so it can be a wood working shop, which I will then be able to build my desk in, as well as organizer drawers for components etc. Had to build a shed first so I can clear the garage. That's almost done. Basically one project leading to the next, and once I get to the end I'll finally be able to be better setup.

Sooo…
your first going to build a shed to put some things in,,,
so you can then second build a garage to put some other things in,,,
so you can have enough room to then thirdly build a desk to sit some stuff on,,,
but only once you've built a shed and then a garage to make enough room for your desk???
Too funny brother

Just too damn funny!!

This happened to me. Fortunately the shed was burgled which made plenty of room in the shed for all the other crap I had in the cupboards. Earlier this year I had enough room for a bench finally

Who'd have thought getting burgled would have came in handy? LOL

I wanted to discuss this with you all: what are the tools necessary for working with robots? i.e, robotics lab.

Do we need more tools than our electronics tools?

Robots like 4WD RC car, balance robot (2WD), probably a spider like robot, robot arm (think first step towards Skynet), and the list goes on.

Pretty much. LOL. I mean, I could build the desk in my living room or something, but I don't really want all that saw dust getting everywhere in the house. Don't really want to buy a premade desk as that's what I have now, I find they have too many small compartments and odd ball shapes to them, I just want a giant L shaped table basically, so I'll just build it to fit the room perfectly, and have cable management trays at the bottom and other stuff like that. Probably lot of shelves too on top, or cabinets just mounted to the wall. Not sure yet. Basically once my garage is in a state I can work in it I will build quite a lot of stuff to help me get organized. Oddly enough I have tons of projects that are depending on me having a proper work area to work in so once that garage gets cleared, insulated, and conditioned I'll have quite a few projects in there to work on haha.

I'm kind of curious about that as well, not just tools, but parts, and places to buy them. I kinda would like to get into mechanical stuff like robots myself at some point. I imagine now days a 3D printer is useful too as lot of parts can just be 3D printed.

I imagine that you would need to design in Solidworks then send the files to mechanical workshops to fabricate them to you whether it is by CNC cutting or bending or similar. sadly, we don't have knowledge nor sufficient info about this. Not to mention that there are off-the-shelf parts like bearings, couplings, and so on that you don't have to design from scratch in 3d modelling.

The rest are very easy, you need Arduino with some boards. Can't get easier.

I plan on advancing in robotics from beginner to ROS which I think is "the peak of the hump" in robotics.

I think the process would be more expensive than our electronics design since PCBs are now 2$ of price!

where should we start? who is doing like dave's channel but for robotics?

Been on the TEA thread with the pictures, here we go again:

And a bonus picture, the other shelves:

hscade · « **Reply #3788 on:** October 05, 2018, 07:41:59 pm »

@capt bullshot

The test equipment exists to stiffen the shelves, otherwise it would collapse?

Worst cases of GAS I have seen in a long while. I like the idea of the sloping shelves that follow the roof shape though

Love the outlets on the ceiling! They blend in so nicely that they're easily missed.

Built a 2 x 16U rackmount chassis for the lab - mahogany w/walnut inlays. Initially fitted with drawers and placed near the bench. As required, the drawers will be replaced with remotely-controlled test equipment.

Uni-T UT61E. That is my current best multimeter so it would be my transfer standard that I would check my UT61D and DT-890C against.
