I was selected as one of the winners for the giveaway in the Industrial Robotics quiz community.element14.com/.../industrial-robotics-quiz
The giveaway is a Vernier Caliper and it arrived at my office today. As soon as I got home I started tryi...
I will be working on a new project soon analyzing BLE transmitters and thought that it would be useful to have a dedicated BLE sniffer so that I could monitor the state of the Equipment Under Test (EUT).
I've used an nRF52840 Dongle on previous p...
Recently I received a finisher prize for this Experimenting With Magnetic Components design challenge. This is a really handy piece of tool, fits well in the pocket and gives the readings at quite a good accuracy. I am impressed with the de...
I'm curious to see how many of you engage in thermal testing. For a long time thermal testing was something I couldn't do, since I work remote and don't have access to a local Avnet facility that may have that capability. After several ye...
In this video, you will learn how to set up the FFT math function in the Siglent SDS1104x-e oscilloscope. FFT is the abbreviation of Fast Fourier transform in the digital domain. The FFT is a very useful feature that helps you to debug the signals. F...
When I view YouTube and other videos of engineers and technicians using a scope probe with a normal ground strap to make high-frequency measurements, I cringe as the results speak for themselves with the scope display showing far worse than expected ...
Often times, it's necessary to solve simultaneous equations and this can be for optimizing a voltage divider using two outer resistors and a center adjustment pot, or or countless other purposes in electronics, physics, and science. Using just a ...
I recently bought an Analog Discovery II, from Digilent. This was designed in part by Analog Devices Inc and National Instruments. For about $399 new or about $300 used, you get a bargain in my opinion. This unit combines the following in one, small ...
Introduction to the World of Oscilloscopes
For a person like me who is interested in electronics, Oscilloscope serves as almost a gateway to heaven which can unravel the deepest secre...
