gogo2520 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hello Thanks for the links Chris 50 I never used a oscilloscope, so I do not know what would be a good one to start out with. I found this one, http://www.electronickits.com/gold/st16b.htm Not sure if its a good choice. I am just a hobbist and don't really need one but still it be nice to have one. Thanks for any input. have fun gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 That 'scope kit is the cheapest that I have seen for more than 40 years.It has only a single channel. Most 'scopes have two so you can compare signals, pulses and their timing.It has a pretty small screen but is OK for a hobbiest.It has a low bandwidth but is OK for a hobbiest.It is about the same as the kit 'scope that I have used for 40 years. It is a lot better than nothing. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogo2520 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hello Chris 50 Nice link thanks. I too use eagle and pcb wiz, I like both sometimes when I have something simple I use pcb wiz. For the hard ones I use egale, it has more componeits and has more options. I down loaded that project and will attach the files to this post. Like I said thanks have fun gogofcl_meter.zipfcl_pcb.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
