That is awesome, loxodes! Thanks for sharing your lab in the woods. I want one!

[GreyWoolfe]

One needs running electricity and high speed internet, water can be hauled in with 20 liter canisters

Back in my day, we hauled our electricity home in buckets, uphill both ways! 

Barefoot, in the snow, even in the middle of summer

Lab in the woods,

You had it lucky...

We used to have to harvest our electrons from a Van de Graaf generator at 3 o'clock in the morning, store them in a battery and pay the battery owner for the privilege.

I use a homemade power supply:

This!
I want this display. What is the size and name of this display? I want to put it in every project, it looks so sexy
better then old 16x2 LCD.

EDIT: is it 3.5" TFT?

Well, I'm nearly complete on getting my bench and equipment ready.  The table is an old early 60's drafting board inherited from my Father.  I know he worked on designs for parts of the C5-A, Lunar Lander, Various Fighters, and Navy submarines on that table.  Anyway, it still works for me.  I haven't even used this stuff yet.  That fun finally begins tonight.    I figure that it is set up pretty well for a guy getting back into it and having forgotten 95%  of what he learned 30 years ago.

[AF6LJ]

Nice.

[bitseeker]

Very nice. Quite a parts inventory, too. Yeah, you should be good for a little while.

I think you need more power supplies. 

[Cubdriver]

And meters, and at least one more scope...

[Tony_G]

And a spectrum analyzer, another sig gen and possible some calibrators....

Love the drafting desk though - That's just an awesome thing to be able to say "Lunar Lander, drawn right here"

Thanks for the comments!   Yeah, I want more, but the budget has died for the year.    At least I have a lot to keep  me occupied with what I have for a while.

[VE7FIM]

Good choice with the microscope. I have (I believe) the same model on my bench.



How do you like the camera you're using with it?

[Housedad]

It's the 14mp camera off of ebay.   It's ok is about all I can say.  It would be better if there were some software with a driver for it, but for 160 bucks, I can't really complain.  It does 720p to the HDMI at 30FPS, and to the USB at 25 to 30 FPS.   It does capture to the card at 720FPS and can take a max picture of 10MP.  The 14Mp must be a marketing gimmick or there is a software thing I can't access.   The damn thing came without the software disk in the box, leaving me a bit out in the cold.   The seller sent me some files including S-Eye software. but no driver. 

I wanted the camera so my daughter and I could watch each others work and generally play around,  So nothing critical.

Edit:  Here's a better pic of the scope:

Amazing display of goodies, Housedad.

Best part, of course, is the table. Things like that, they have a soul.

And to think he/they put men on the moon using instruments that were no where near as sophisticated as what you are working with.
