I bought one of these today to replace my VSP-2405 HE.
That looks sexy!

I want it bad! They do need to decide on a consistent style though. I am not a fan of the keypad - not that I have used one to know. But looking at their new loads, they have gone for a more conventional pad, so maybe they will do the same when they come to the next PSU version?? I still want it though!!
I know those corner bumpers are doing a good job but I can't help but think they look really ugly stuck on there, there has to be a better more designed solution to the problem. The rest of it is lovely though, real test gear porn...
Anyone think this used power supply was worth $20? It's a piece of Radio Shack history, if that makes a difference. The store I stopped in today is days from closing forever, so they're selling EVERYTHING. They had a whole table of equipment that they actually used for repairing electronics! I don't even know what some of the stuff was, and everything besides the power supply was $100 or more. Assuming it works I think I did ok. I like the volt range switch much better than the cheapie I got on eBay a few months back.

Any good? Found it's UK siblings on amazon

I've been meaning to restart working on programmable logic for quite some time, but I couldn't get a decent kit for an affordable price. A coworker was selling an Altera DE2-115 for quite a cheap price.
That Rigol DP832 is absolutely perfect PSU in one particular term. If you share some test equipment with some of your colleagues - nobody will EVER borrow this Rigol from you.
When I saw the thread earlier today, I ummed and erred but finally succumbed and invested £20 on one of these, it may come in handy, but being a confirmed TEA member how could I ignore it

Hmmm, I assume it uses the iPad as the display?
Do you have a link, I'm very curious now.
Well not today but recent, a ticket to the loony bin disguised, ever so cleverly, as a fluke 8200A.
I bought an Aneng AN-8008 based on the thread. If it does what I need, I will invest in another as a spare in case I lose it. just have to wait for the slow boat from China.

You mean if one of the dogs decides it'll make a wonderful chew toy?
I bought a NOS adapter to convert IEC625 (mechanically SUB-D 25) to IEEE488 (GPIB) several days ago that arrived yesterday.
Just for the case I ever come across a piece of equipment that only has an IEC625-connector..

The corner bumps on the front aren't even big enough, the banana plugs bump the wall first. They should have used the isolated banana plugs, and provide a bag of these.
Got today my Banggood order from around two weeks ago. The postman stuffed my package into the mail box in a way I actualy had difficulties getting it out
.
I bought a Astrolux S1. Its a really nice flashlight. The videos I saw about it didnt lie. Since I discovered minerals as a new hobby, next year I want to go in the mountains with a collectors licence and hopefully find some and I tought a good flashlight might come in handy.
I also got myself some decent USB to Micro USB cables that can carry more current. My old cables had quite some voltage drop.
Bought 50x small flip-top boxes (1"-ish cube) for storing SMD components, and also 5,500 piece 'sample book' of SMD resistors and caps.

I've received today:
- 50 pieces of Hartmann rotary switches, type PT 65 501 (dec)
- 50 pieces of Hartmann rotary switches, type PT 65 503 (hex)
Both types were coming with the segment wheel on top.

What is the best thing to do on ebay when a package that was being shipped to you (alleged to be a Uni-T UT210E)
is delivered to the wrong address and likely was part of a scam? How to handle it? Ive sent a message to the seller telling them the package went to the wrong address and tried to figure out how to bring in ebay customer service but it appears that even though it was delivered to the wrong address they seem to want me to wait until the date I am supposed to receive it by.. which isnt acceptable. The seller seems to have gotten a few other complaints of a similar nature recently.

About all you can do is keep contacting the seller via Ebay and also keep contacting Ebay via their dispute channel. That way after the due delivery date has been and gone, they cannot claim that it is too late to raise a claim because the email trail is there to prove that you flagged it up earlier and that they told you to wait.
Keep copies of the emails to and fro as well, just as insurance should you need it.

Absolutely love Terasic kits. Extremely satisfied with my 4 Terasic products:
Thanks for confirming the manufacturer is worth its salt. The kit looks quite alright but I know these things can be deceiving (bad support, unreliability, etc.)
Aoyua 474A+ de-soldering gun. It sucks and I was running out of braid anyway...

It might suck
, but you'll still want quality desolder braid/wick to clean up the pads afterwards.
