    i have allays wanted to make LEDs light up wirelessly the only shortcoming is i never had access to an oscilloscope so i could match the frequency of the two coils. i also do a lot with arduino and 555 timers and an oscilloscope would be extremely useful and make my life a lot easier

    I would use the scope to finish the induction charging system of my R2-D2.  The goal being to take the droid to area children's hospitals to give those kids some R2 attitude!

    I want to scratch build a tube guitar amp.  I need a scope so I can see the signal passing through the grids...  Then I can tell if my design is good or if I'm injecting noise into the signal.

     

    I also want to build my own flight controller for a tri-copter and a scope would be very handy for debugging.

     

    I should be selected to get it because I have lots of fun projects and I plan to do them with lots of video content and I need test gear.

    I teach an after school and summer club to 6-8 graders in Cape May County, NJ. We’ve used raspberry pi, arduino, and even built a prusa i3. I'd like to dive deeper into circuit diagnosis and design, but we have no budget and rely on donations from parents and myself.  I'd like to inspire these children to pursue engineering degrees college.


    Here's some local news about our class:


    Raspberry Pi Stem Club: Build a 3D Printer


    Next week, Upper Township students will be working on …


    Playing with computer guts gets Upper children thinking …


    here's the school's website and flyer about us:


    http://ceut.upperschools.schoolfusion.us/modules/groups/integrated_home.phtml?gid=1365114

     

    if you download the Word file you can see all the available summer clubs, ours is the raspberry pi stem club makerspace.  It has my name on it, but not my email.  I am currently not listed on the staff website as I only teach the after school and summer club.


    Below is a photo of our most recent class, next one started July 1st.

    Hi All,

    Great stuff for the scope being put up for grabs.

    We could use this at my place of work to allow our techs to get out into the feild with a DSO to diagnose noise problems on 485 comms etc.

    We do a lot of safety & automation work and need to get these nasty little issues sorted. One solution with noise required us to shift one component approx 2" to fix the problem.

     

    Look forward to posting results if we are selected.

    I would use it for so many projects that I have just had to make due with a multimeter... and that just doesn't cut it. I had to get rid of my old analog Tektronix scope when I moved. I do miss it!!!
