I've just bought a very large pile of MU9C1480A chips
which are 1Kx64 content-addressable memories, they get used for database searches and in routers.
I don't really know what I'm going to use them for yet, but content-addressable RAM is a really cool idea so I'll think of something.
Also picked up a pile of FIFO ram, which will hopefully transform into some kind of inter-CPU comms thing.
I bought several of these. Can you believe how cheap they are?
Those are very nice and very cheap, the problem is that they don't have any DTR pin to program atmegas
Some (10x) of an Agilent low noise PHEMT ATF 54143, I am having some problems with a 300W 1296MHz Ham Tranceiver and keep blowing these little buggers up. Initially I thought it was coming in throughout the front end of the LNA, but now am pretty sure it is coming back up the receive line (from the transceiver receive port to the feed horn LNA). Despite the loss of magic smoke, when repaired,I am happy I am still getting a noise figure of ~0.3dB gain of 35dB at 1296MHz.
I know this won't be very good but for £15 I couldn't resist, I mean who doesn't love Bakon?
Kidding aside though I'm going to test how it compares to a FX951 with the supplied tip and with a genuine T15 tip, I'll just be waiting on something to test the temps with. After that it's going to be modded to be part of a portalab lol.
"I even once saw underwear that was "arduino compatible" !"
Embedded leakage sensors, of course
I have already saw that most electronic equipment listings came with "arduino" on the title. But those items you put there are just incredible. "Well let's just buy a pair of arduino-compatible underpants just to connect my "instrument" to the IOT"
Today is "arduino" compatible also bread, hot-dog, milk, socks and every think what can you buy on ebay
Why, I just bought an Arduino compatible PICkit 5
E-bay search on just the word Arduino (all categories):

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JXM8UDKfor less than $10, its a usb OTG micro sd card reader. cool part is that the sd card inserts right INTO the usb connector. quite a trick
testing with 128gb card seems ok. planned use is to transfer data from pc to phone (recent phones support on-the-go usb).
not expensive, not a big deal but cute and useful.
That's cool. I've never seen anything like it.
Now, the waiting game.

Gee whiz, am I seeing this right? You take a picture of your screen with a phone or camera in order to include a screen capture? Don't you know about the Print Screen button (or whatever passes for that on a non-PC)?

To be fair, you can plainly see he shopping using the PC, but browsing EEVblog using Tapatalk on his mobile. I would suggest for a quick effortless upload he's doing it right. (Unlike me who takes pics using the mobile, file transfers them to my samba share over wifi, picks the best ones, crops them, uploads to imgur, then uses generated link on EEVblog forum message)
I don't think you are. You didn't mention the E*V*L*G d*s*o*n* c*u*o* c*d*.
ooh, now you've done it! Evan of tequip doesn't like his code being released publicly. At least hidden in that image it wasn't searchable. Now you've just advertised it to the world via a google search
I've just bought a new VNA, an R&S ZVRE, 4GHz, lovely big screen and a better GUI than some of their more recent offering.
I have a not-quite-dead (no output but powers up) HP 8640B signal generator on the way from eBuy to join the queue of 'things to repair in my spare (so called because I have so little of it) time'. I also got the two volumes of the service manual for the 3561A, so I'll be digging further into that soon. Fun, fun!
