  • I can’t believe you guys have had that GPS wall clock up for FIVE YEARS and still haven’t cleaned up that ugly wiring.

  • Digi-Key’s website is made for people who know exactly what they want. Their parametric search is the best one around.

    That has definitely been fixed. I got one recently from RobotShop (The board says PN:109-06200-00C) and everything fits perfectly.
    I wouldn’t call it a piece of crap, as it definitely works.
    However, you get what you pay for. This thing is no Tektronix, but it certainly does what it promises (and no more). The frequency counter mode is handy too.
    I didn’t have any problems assembling it at all and it worked right away. Mine came with firmware 06208.030.


  • The product description and the manual both claim this device has 1MHz analog bandwidth at a sample rate of 1MS/s.
    Somebody call the Nobel prize committee, Seeed has broken the Nyquist limit!
    1MSPS is pretty good for this little thing, but calling its bandwidth 1MHz is just plain incorrect. I wouldn’t trust it much beyond 100kHz or so.

  • redacted

    The protocol is fully documented in the datasheet.

  • Look for the Tyco/AMP “AMPMODU Mod IV” series connectors.

  • Does the digital display show the actual temperature of the tip, or the setpoint?

No public wish lists :(
