Month of Robots $100 spend

three-phase
three-phase
28 Jun 2019

A quick blog to show what I purchased with my $100, generously donated by jomoenginer for the month of robots project14.

Bottom row is a 400 pin bread board to supplement my existing one, that I usually run out of space on. Next to that is a jumper wire set to use with the bread boards. I have seen a few on the community use these and liked the look of them against my usual method of scrabbling around for a bit of solid core wire.

 

Top left is a set of needle files to replace my old worn out ones. Top middle is a set of Pro's Kit soldering aids and finally top right is the big spend on a copy of LabView 2014 home bundle, that I have just spent a couple of hours down-loading and installing today and then running the updates.

 

Once again, many thanks to Jon, these bits should keep me out of mischief for a while.

    Donald, Nice collection of pieces, parts and tools! That was very generous of element14 and jomoenginer to gift you to this cool stuff. Enjoy! Gene

    I will see how I get on with it over the next couple of months - programming is not something I have any real experience of, so I usually end up doing things the extra hard way. I am sure there are others on here who could give a much better insight into LabVIEW than me.

     

    Kind regards.

    Donald,

     

    This sounds just like my experience of LabVIEW. Perhaps I won't bother after all.

    I have just loaded up LabView this week. 1.3GB download and then you have to download and install Service Pack 1. I have then started reading through the overview documentation on the website - it is slow going.

     

    I was interested to see if I could get it to talk to my LCR bench meter to get it to plot the impedance curves of the coils I have built automatically, but it doesn't look like their is a specific LabView driver for it, so I am already getting into trouble.

     

    The needle file set is nice quality and in a sturdy little case, so I am very happy with that.

     

    Kind regards.

    Donald,

     

    I didn't know you could get a copy of LabVIEW for this low price. You'll have to tell how you get on with it. I wasn't a great fan of it when I was working as it took so long to learn but now I'm retired it might be worth another punt. I might have to get some needle files as well. I bought mine from a market stall somewhere about 40 years ago. I've always wanted some better ones.
