Need to setup lab.. suggest equipment

mudz

Hi,

I am an independent designer/hobbyist. I am getting serious on few electronics stuff and need to setup my home lab. I am more inclined towards precision and digital stuff. Love technology of today, compact/handheld solutions. I have a budget of around $1500.

Kindly suggest me :

Multimeter

Oscilloscope

Any other stuff??
Power supply I wish to make myself but welcome opinions..

 

I already had a Fluke 115 True RMS meter but someone stole it.

 

Open to all suggestions.
Thank you

  • I am sure you will get lots of good responses but here are some videos that may be useful:

     

    This one a but old now from Dave Jones but still good:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R_PbjbRaO2E

    From Andreas Spiess:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=inW57njiq1A

     

    Both of the video bloggers above have additional detail on their channels.  Be sure to check out RoadTests here on element14 on particular tools and lab instruments. 

     

    What you buy and use will depend on your interests.  For example, if you do pure electronics you might not need a 3D printer but they are very useful for robotics and different projects.  My approach has been to not buy things until I need them for a specific project.  And then research carefully what is available and read the reviews before buying.

     

    It is a rewarding hobby.  Good luck!
