The 6424E is a 4 channel screenless mid-range scope with built in signal generator and up to 16 16 channel digital inputs. It’s part of Pico’s 6000 family which is described in some detail here:www.picotech.com/oscilloscope/6000/picoscope-6000-overvi...
Trial of Lithium Polymer battery with the MAX32630FTHR feather. The MAX32630 has a PMIC onboard, for 100mAh charge rate, with a JST PH 2.0 connector to connect a battery, like the feathers from Adafruit. I didn't have any of such connec...
What is this blog about?Back in June rscasny was looking for people to experiment with thermocouple connectors. I got selected and connectors were dispatched. However they did not arrive until mid August.Meanwhile I was designing a PCB for the connec...
I am already done with the main part of the roadtest, at least what I was able to do, this is a series of blog posts to complement the RoadTest and to work the features of the Feather, the MAX32630FTHR. This blog post is to test the BMI160 onboa...

I received the Phoneix Skedd Connector Kit in a neat white box shown here and was really excited to test this out. I admit that this review comes quite late and I am really sorry for that. My university is putting too much pressure on us students in ...
Nature of the problemRecently, while upgrading my solar garden shed PV installation a problem popped up with DC loads connected to the new Renogy MPPT charge controller. The original system had a single 10W 120 VAC LED light fixture in the cent...
The Pico Oscilloscope RoadTest Review is currently in a holding pattern due to a shipping error. I figured I would fill the wait time by sharing the methodology or my approach for the RoadTest. I value the input from members. On past RoadTest their c...
(NB All this is based on personal recollections and dates must not be relied upon too much. It’s all opinion and my experiences - if you need facts then check them !) By now you may have realised that a little mix-up has resulted in ...
This is a first posting in a blog series supporting a RoadTest Review of PicoScope 6424E Oscilloscope. While waiting for a replacement oscilloscope (PicoScope 6424E Oscilloscope + Accessories: The Application ) to substitute for the unit shipped...
This blog post covers my experiences using the MSOX3034T to measure low power radiated RF signals. The challenge this time is to have the Keysight 'scope help me learn about RF signals broadcast by a simple handheld RF remote control. ...
Well I'm going to call it official, that I am one of three candidates for this RoadTest. I'm assuming if you accept the offer and the equipment shows up at your door then it is official, even though there hasn't been any announcement on the RoadTest ...
This bog post continues my exploration of the MSOX3034T in the realm of slow speed digital signal analysis. In the previous blog post I used I2C decode capabilities in the MSOX3034T to examine transfers of data between a PIC microcontroller and a Rea...
In this post I relate my experiences using the Keysight MSOX3034TMSOX3034T and a Tektronix MDO4000 series instrument to decode I2C data packets. The use case I explore in this post posed some measurement challenges, mostly due to fairly lengthy...
I've been pondering how to utilize the features of the Power Defense Circuit breaker.Here's a link to the Eaton site for this breakerhttps://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.PDG23F0060P2MJ.html The first challenge was to figure out all the loos...
What is an oscilloscope meant to do? My research into the etymology of the word oscilloscope suggests that it is a device for observing, or examining, signals that swing, or oscillate. At least that was the essence of the definition at the time...
I have two basic criteria that have to be met before I will apply for a roadtest:The item being roadtested needs align with my interests and it needs to provide sufficient value relative to the amount of effort that would be required to roadtest it.&...
