paulv @ paulvdiyblogs.net designed and build a transistor curve tracer and documents the process on his personal blog. He writes: It's not that I use a Curve Tracer that much, but if you want to categorize or really measure the parameters of a discrete component, there is really no...

Felix designed a precision Auto-ranging nanoAmp ammeter with loads of features. He writes: CurrentRanger is a nanoAmp current meter featuring auto-ranging, uni/bi-directional modes, bluetooth data logging options and more. It is a highly hackable and affordable ultra...

Kerry Wong did a teardown of an Array 3711A 300W electronic load. He writes: The Arrary 3711A can sink 300W with a maximum load current of 30A and maximum load voltage of 300V. It can be used in constant current, constant power or constant resistance mode and can be controlled remotely...

The BA6010 Series battery analyzers measure voltage and resistance of modern battery technologies with high accuracy, resolution, and speed. Additionally, these instruments provide auxiliary measurement parameters inductance, capacitance, dissipation factor, impedance, quality factor,...

Here is a nice mini review of  Siglent SDS1204X-E four-channel oscilloscope by Harry Baggen @ elektormagazine.com: A few years ago I wrote a review about the Siglent SDS1102X and back then I was very enamoured by the quality and extensive capabilities of this affordable instrument. In...

Simple FPGA based PCB to capture thermal images from a FLIR Boson camera on to a microSD. The project's sources are available on Github. by Greg Davill A small PCB designed to attach to the backside of the FLIR Boson Thermal Camera. The PCB facilitates configuration of the camera along...

SP209 series logic analyzers and protocol decoders offer in depth analysis of logic signals and protocols with 200MHz (5ns) timing resolution. 9-channel operation allows 8-bit parallel data to be captured along with a clock or strobe signal. SP Series is composed of two devices, SP209...
