Home labs of electronics engineers?

Well I was brave enough to share my junk LAB way back so here is the new and improved version

and through the door to the right is my workstation (A little messy)

Yes thats a PI 2 on the desk with full Windows 10 IoT with a 480*320 touch screen all fully functional, the top left screen is the PI HDMI output . No its not mirroring on to the LCD...Sorry. The LDC has a screen capture on it of the HDMI screen and it is verlayed with touch zones so I can still effectivly click the buttons with finger/pen and have it perform the same as the HDMI with a mouse (I will be posting all the code etc later today with luck)

Definitely makes me jealous, how did you acquire your gear. Thats one of my big questions for people with these nice labs how did you get all the gear with out paying the big bucks or did you guys do that ?

some of my equipment came from surplus stores and ebay. a couple are from the road test program here. a few are from a retired family member. some are even from the local collage dumpster. a piece or two are from beta testing. have some homebrew pieces made from stuff just laying around. my investment is relatively low. but it has been years in the making.

Note the "Years in the Making", it takes much time and effort to slowly build up a good lab but you can do it if your serious and will invest the time

I certainly have Peter it's all of an up hill struggle really.

Worth while if you are in the biz of pumping for Subs

A lot of kit here is actually as old as some of the younger members so that shows you ow long people have been collecting these bits of kit!

several pieces in my collection are older than myself.

Yep test equipment normally has a long life.

I'm keeping the office photo thing off the list until I've at least cleaned it up
