Nope, VRMS from 0Hz to 5MHz, scale is 115.9 mVrms with an offset of -347mVrms, Hanning window
For completeness dB scale is also attached

I took the train early in the morning, four hours later I was there, in a remote place, to pick-up the bicycle that I was looking for years!

Exactly that model, made with Dedacciai tubing for the Atlanta Olympics. I found it semi-abandoned in a cellar - as the previous owner said - it was his father's bicycle in the 90s (passed away during the COVID pandemic). So, I paid for it, removed the dust, degreased the derailleurs and the chain, cleaned it thoroughly, re-greased it, inflated the inner tubes, and I was ready to go back home with a new bicycle!!!

Eight hours cycling, 190km, two stops  :o :o :o :o
(powered by liquid caffeine and two red bull cans)

I am really tired today, but very happy  :D

Nice clear steady display for £5- not so accurate as is

Last month I visited Gran Canaria, and was impressed to see how many Germans, Finnish... fly there with their own bicycle to ride to the top of the island (2000m). Of course the 20ºC weather in winter helps.

Got this 30AWG magnet wire. I plan to use it as a mod wire instead of Jonard Kynar. Due to the low insulation temp (155c) it can be soldered without having to strip the insulation.

Some strange Chinesian multicore (Arm A53, Risc-V x2 and 8051 !!) boards arrived: Milk-V 256MB and their paraphernalia, discussed in another post in "Embedded Computing" section.

There is actually an Electronics Project buried somewhere in the intended use of this 100L Weed Spray Tank and Pump  ;D Amazed how cheap these are at under $150 AUD ($95USD) delivered including Tax  :-//

Need to get this little Plasma Table (600x900 cut area) finished and on wheels before the next project gets here. Base frame cutting starts tomorrow.

a Milwaukee battery - rather than a Makita one  :palm:



Well not used much - but just got the red green flashing light again charging a new barely used battery - beginning to suspect the tyre inflator or lack of continuous use is killing my batteries?  :palm:

Screwfix look like a pita company to return to  :horse:

First open the battery and measure the voltage of each cell.

First, you get a concrete bunker  :palm:

I'm more interested in Milwaukee's business model

seems to have done the trick, I took it off the bench supply at 18.3V (still drawing 2Amps) and put it on the charger - success, charging ok - showing 2 LEDs on battery.

I'm now more surprised that Makita brick their batteries?

... and less annoyed with Milwaukee, Screwfix and Badadaptor :palm:
