Wish List Preferences

I am curious if other makers have similar views to me...

What instrument is highest on your wish list?

What prize would you find most motivating in a design challenge?

Which instrument would you most like to road test?

If you comment, perhaps you could list your top 3 wish list instruments.

  • I like to polls that make me go "O-o-o-oh!"  This one did.  PCB Printer?  3D Printer?  One can always dream.

  • I'd love to get enough free space to create my own lab...

    £40 for Ferodo equivalents.

    Yes there are equivalents out there, but if you want to retain the same stopping capability, along with disc wear, sometimes you've got to take the hit.

    Hopefully mine won't be needed for a bit more, and they'll have to come from the states ....

    Apparently even the bolts holding the calipers on are one time use.

    I've priced new pads for mine and they aren't cheap.

    Indeed and I needed new discs as well, the ABS fault was damaged wiring to one of the speed sensors.

  • My rather old 4ch Tektronix scope released a large amount of magic smoke a couple of years ago and I have been without since. Being retired I have a very limited budget for supporting  my hobbies and a decent scope is just never going to happen so far I have managing to get by without.

    3D printer I have.

    I also have an old weller and antex soldering irons but not a modern temperature controlled one.

    A binocular microscope would be nice as components / pcb tracks are getting so much smaller or is it  my eyesight that's not what it used to be

    Never had much use for a function generator.

  • I am using the bitscope as oscilloscope (too crap?) And now I am curious to see these picoscope family ...
