You're welcome. :)



Now to find the 'Maintenance Utility Disk'........

[...}

/And the results are in: I wish 42, but the reality sez 59; now, what to do with that many ATMegas(selling is not an option)? Anyone interested?

59 is way too many I agree with you !!  ;D

If they can cross the Atlantic, I would be more than happy to give some of them a good home.

Next TE project. Take advantage of that "dead space" and add another shelf. Will be perfect for 2400 and 400 series scopes. BOM already written up and will get started on it next week. Stay tuned.

Pop those out, do a fast cleanup job with an old toothbrush and it still won't power up with new batteries.  I'll go at the battery contacts properly later and see if it can be salvaged.

Next, the thermometer receiver in the bathroom conked so I took the batteries that were going to go into the U1177A and went to put them in that.  And groan:





Today seems to be the day for leaked AAA cells.  At least I was able to get the thermometer receiver cleaned up and working again.  My next test equipment project is going to be to pull everything that's battery powered and replace the batteries and start a spreadsheet to track battery changes.  I'm tossing the idea around of replacing them annually if they don't run down and get replaced sooner to stay ahead of any potential leaks damaging something that could be expensive.

I know a lot of people seek long battery life in multimeters for understandable reasons but at the same time, there is something to be said for meters running them down quick enough that they don't hang around long enough to become destructive.

I think to a large extent, is just pure pot luck, I've had some old Every Ready D cells that have been installed for over 20 years and not leaked, likewise Duracell for around 10 years with no bother at all, YMMV.
