Hi, --- Quote ---To get into update mode, you leave the ST42 off, then push the joystick one direction (up or down, I forget which) then plug in the USB cable and it should enter the update mode. --- End quote --- Joystick up.... Now I got 1.5.6. too. ;) |

--- Quote from: unmaker on July 14, 2024, 04:47:20 pm ---I was wondering why the latest firmware on Shannon's page is 1.5.3. Are there firmware release notes for the later firmwares? --- End quote --- He's super slow to update anything on his website, but he does make stuff available faster with the OTA updates. One thing we know is the newer version says Cp/Cs instead of guessing. 😉 |

The devil is in the detail..... I thought to myself, now you're going to make something nice to rebuild, something that has hands and feet and extends the tweezers - why don't you make adapter cables with test hooks so that you can also test large components. No sooner said than done, it hardly costs anything, looks good and fits perfectly. If it weren't for one tiny little pitfall. ;) After attaching the cables, the ST42 shows short circuits everywhere - why... Quite simply, the small screws must be screwed in insulated, because of the Kelvin functionality....Cool. ;) Never mind, just make the holes in the blades a bit bigger - or use an original set of blades from Shannon. Either way, I think this is the more “professional” solution to extend the tweezers instead of just wrapping wire around them. I will present the final solution soon. |

Very nice! That is a cool idea. |

Do you know where to get “spare parts”? So the blades, screws and the insulation sleeves... I googled it and ended up with Ali - but then again with the complete tweezers. |
