Hi all,
Just wanted to share some pictures of my basement lab... The lab function as a hobby room for my rc-helicopters and as a lab for my electronics projects.
My wife and I bought an old hose for approx. 1.5 yrs. ago, the biggest room in the basement used to be some kind of a storage room for gardening tools, plants, garbage and a whole lot of other shit.
The floor was nasty and there had been a flooding there some years earlier due to some clogged draining (fixed now). Due to the flooding there was some rot in the wooden cladding on the walls and the outer door was full of rot (yes, my lab has its own outer door, meaning I can drag new equipment and stuff inn without the wife ever noticing it ). Overall, it was not a nice room (sorry have no pics|O)....
I was allowed by the wife to use it for whatever I wanted... so I started some remodelling and this is what came out of it, it is still not yet completed, still need to add more shelving and storage containers, and I am thinking of making an additional bench on wheels...
Some of the pictures are from when I just had removed the old walls and cladding, some are from after the new walls where put up and some I just took a few days ago (sorry for the quallity, mobile phone you know...)
Really nice lab, well done!.........My own has a long "L" shape bench which is really useful.
I was sweating there for a moment though, that green Safe seems to be keeping an eye on you all though the renovation.......but then it dissappeared for a while till I saw it again in the last photo.....phew!
Btw, drummer or guitarist?
Ian.
Argh, I'm so jealous of all of you with your "meter" this and your "analyzer" that.
When my bench is finished I'll take a picture.
My wife, who is not really pleased at all with a lot of my purchases saw some of your setups as I was looking through them and said things like "ooh, that's nice," and "why doesn't yours look like that, that's awesome" etc.
Home lab, as for current state (KI 2002 not shown, but present
).
I guess this photos can be labeled "Need new & proper table for bench".
Will move another apartment (rent on this one expires soon
) and get myself to build proper benchplace.

I hope you worded your answer carefully
Here's my one.
I'm 17 and this is my first lab (if you can call it that), in my bedroom.
I'm slowly learning analogue. Great fun. I'm doing electronics at college, but only myself and one other person there is actually interested in the subject...
I've just finished my second year college project, and analogue ohm meter. Basically uses Dave's constant current sink, stuck upside down to become a constant current source. I'm also the only person on the course who designed their project. Everyone else is using designs off the internet. What is the world coming to?

Quite possible to build what you want (
teaser pics of one I'm building, and about to have a second by some time next week).

FWIW, the labs you may envy in this thread, weren't built in a day.
Give it time, and you'll get there. And it's great to see you've already started before graduating, so kudos.
Your interest/passion for the field should put you miles ahead of your classmates, which will help immensely. Particularly when you start looking for internships or your first real job in the field.
Here is my lab:
The "enhanced" Flir E4 is my fathers, who likes TICs, I just borrow it from time to time. In the cup is green tea, and in the bowl is a mango.
My shelf of ICs and documents is not visible.
at 15, you have a better start than I did at your age. I was lucky to have a working VTVM and some 10% carbon resistors to work with.
(and that vtvm had to walk to school uphill. both ways!)
My current measurement setup: DSO9254 + DPO7104. Both are good scopes, but they make a terrible noise, especially the TEK.

Holy crap those are nice scopes
Jep. 30.000€ and 20.000€ :-) I love my Job.
But seriously: The noise level is horrible. It seems that they use jet engines to cool them.
Good job c4757p +10 points..
And for bonus points find the other stuff using google cache.
But well worth it I think for our two cats, and the ability to keep one inside while the other goes out.
Just curious, how does one of those cat flaps keep one cat from tailgating out behind the other? Cats can be pretty smart.

It's pretty quick to latch shut. But yeah, the other cat has got out a couple of times, sneaky thing.
Still, it works 99% of the time, if you train the cats a little as well.

I can think of two possible ways to solve that issue, one is video analytics and the other long range rfid readers and a technique we used to use to keep the patients inside the dementia ward.
