Something we've wanted for a while and thanks to the black Friday specials nabbed one at the best price I'd seen

Just got this environmental data logger - does temperature and humidity.
Got it to better record temp during precision metrology work

Sorry about the stock pic - it is at home and I'm at work

So far my main complaint is that it is not easy to figure out how to turn on the logging.

A 3D printer kit. No longer a kit, since it's together and runs. Still to actually print anything.
Assembly log:

Edit: Man, between clicking 'save', and the post appearing in the thread (about 3 seconds) the picture was supposedly viewed 33 times! It's getting busy in here.

Looking forward to hear from you about the print quality on your unit. I've been thinking about buying one printer out of Aliexpress but just like you've said, there are so many out there. Thanks for sharing your initial thoughts though.

ESP-WROOM-32 Beta and some silicone and stuff for sensor potting.

May I ask where you managed to get so many ESP32s from?

ChristopherN · « **Reply #2282 on:** November 30, 2016, 11:57:21 am »

Sure, I ordered the modules directly from Espressif Systems.

They shipped really fast using DHL Express. I had some customs trouble, but that was DHL's fault.

TAMHAN · « **Reply #2283 on:** November 30, 2016, 07:38:00 pm »

Darnit

May I also ask you for the price per module? I have a client who desperately wants me to get some work done with one of those...

Just ordered a Maynuo M9710 DC Load with USB adapter cable. The price and capabilities will cover the two projects I need it for, then I may look at modding/improving it as a mini project. If it's possible, I may even look at expanding it to a 300W vresion. More feedback when it arrives.

The part number indicates its not ESP32 but ESP8266EX. The price is $4 on aliexpress.

ESP-WROOM-32 is a thing too, but it has more pins.

Just purchased this....

Mastech MS8040 Bench DMM. I plan on doing to complete teardown and evaluation and share it with the blog.

I have a M9803, which I think is the predecessor to that one. I've had it over 10 years and it's been a decent and useful bench meter. It's nice to have something that can sit up out of the way on a shelf and run without batteries and not turn itself off. I use it more than my Fluke 87-III

A Dovo straight razor.
Just because my safety razor isn't challenging enough.

It might change my appearance a bit.

Next: Changing the nickname from "Fortran" to "Scarface"?

Originally I bought this one 22 years ago and the tenth person I loaned it too never returned it. This new one arrived today. One of the most amazing books I have ever read. When you consider where China is now, reading about what it was like for most of the 20th century will blow your mind. How anyone could have remained sane through that period is beyond belief.

Another curve tracer ! Yikes!
Tektronix 576 with paper manual.

ANOTHER curve tracer? How many do you have? (asks the guy with two of them...

)

Sweet, BTW.

Wow - quite the herd you have there. I thought I was bad with a Tek 575 mod C and a Fairchild 6200B.
