ADALM2000 is a 9-in-1 portable test and measurement instrument launched by ADI.
A low-cost PD-powered reflow soldering heating plate that uses a cermet heater (MCH) instead of a PCB heating plate for heating. It has a USB Type-C input port and can be powered by a 60W (65W) PD power supply.
ScopeFun is an open source all-in-one instrumentation platform. It includes oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers and digital pattern generators.
This 100 W reference design highlights the excellent power quality and high frequency performance of the half-bridge (HB) driver using the ICL5102 with the economical CoolMOS™ P7 series. The design takes full advantage of the applicable frequency range of the HB driver to create Highly compact LCC transformer. This transformer integrates the series inductance of the LCC resonant tank. Relying on this high power density transformer design, the high frequency operation capability can drive system cost and size reduction.
The author opens up the schematic diagram and supporting Raspberry Pi code. The simulation bandwidth is already 30MHz, and the frequency response is very close to the theoretical simulation, with a difference of about 0.02dB between 1kHz and 30MHz.
Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool designed for developers and geeks with a toy-like body. It enjoys exploring digital content such as radio protocols, access control systems, hardware, and more. It's completely open source and customizable, so you can extend it in any way you like.
The basic concept of this work is slightly different from standard tools such as a reflow oven or soldering iron. Heat is provided from the bottom of the PCB.
This awesome project comes from the nV-level measurement instrument challenge launched by xDevs. The project requirements are relatively difficult and only one author has completed it. The author has open sourced all project materials and provided detailed explanations (in English).
Inspired by the EEZ H24005 programmable power supply project, which has attracted many enthusiasts with its feature set, rich user interface, DIY friendliness and completely open source hardware and software design.
The core idea of USB portable programmable instruments is to provide electronic engineers and enthusiasts with a series of low-cost, portable, network-enabled, programmable, and open source practical tools. The multifunctional USB power supply is the first of its kind and is expected to complement traditional adjustable regulated power supplies.
The hardware is independently completed by the Raspberry Pi microcontroller RP2040, which costs 5 yuan a piece. Just close a trigger design baseboard designed by KiCAD. The software is created using VSCode + GCC + Cmake. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to use it. The firmware is upgraded using the U disk drag-and-drop method that comes with the Raspberry Pi chip.
The current design solution uses an 8-bit ADC chip ADC08100 and a 100M bandwidth front-end analog circuit. In fact, if you want to play, you can improve the indicators and use AD9288 or the domestic alternative MXT2088. One chip has two channels and achieves a 250M sampling rate through rapid alternating sampling.
A practical heating table for PCB reflow soldering. It is quite cool. It may be the most beautiful and functional heating table on the market. Parameters: The hardware is based on the ESP32PICO-D4 chip, the input power is 24V/10A, the maximum power is 200W, and the heating temperature is up to 300°C. It has Bluetooth function. If I have time later, I will develop a mobile APP to set the temperature rise curve.
The author noticed that the AC line frequency changes in spans of 0.4 Hz and periods of several minutes, so I wanted to examine long-term changes in AC line frequency and voltage. This is a project to build a line voltage frequency monitor. It is not a complete instrument but a simple measurement adapter designed to be embedded in some measurement system with a PC or microcontroller.
A phase compensation algorithm is used to compensate for the additional phase delay introduced by the multiplexed ADC, thereby producing an effect equivalent to a synchronously sampled ADC.
Although Geiger counters can be used to detect amounts of radiation, and with some tricks can also differentiate between the three types of radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma), their use is limited in identifying radioactive materials. For this purpose, gamma-ray spectrometers come in handy.
The complete PCB related files are open source, and there is also a design document for reference and study.
The PD150 is a compact 150MHz differential oscilloscope probe for engineers on a budget and advanced hobbyists. It has advanced features such as automatic DC offset voltage zeroing and low-frequency common-mode rejection tuning. It will also provide complete documentation in the spirit of old-school "anchor" test equipment, detailing its working principles in addition to typical instructions and specifications.
During the dry season we often get electrocuted by metal objects, especially door handles. This is due to the charged static electricity in the human body. Any object can be charged, and often objects have electrical potentials of several thousand volts or more. Static electricity often causes malfunction or damage to electronic equipment. I've always wanted to know how much static electricity is carried in an object or human body, so I made a surface potentiometer to measure the potential of a charged object.
