    DIY oscilloscope

    I have one, minus the case and yes, it does come in handy. I had to check the CAN bus signal on a merc with it. Note that this is a single channel scope. My kit was unassembled, which required soldering of the components. If you aint handy with a soldering iron, and not familiar with a bit of...

    A break from social media

    I "deleted" Facebook more than 7 months ago. And evey so now ans then, when going to certain websites, it asks to log in with FB.

Build is simple enough, using common and easy to get components. I used the iron on method for both layout as well as overlay. I dont have much to compare it...

    Modifying transformer voltage

    A heads up on this. So today I stared a fresh, and still getting it wrong. My calculations where all wrong.What I sould have wound was 63m, not 6.3meters, hence me getting such a low voltage. I didnt even take note of the program showing 42 turns. 20 turns is a killa on the hands. Problem now...

    Modifying transformer voltage

    Had some time to play aroudn with the toroidel last night. Stripped a old transformer that had 1.5mm copper on the secondary, went a bit more than the specified 12.6m adn ended up with 20-0-20. Then wound off just one turn adn ended up with 5-0-5. I have no idea what happened there. Any ideas...

    Just a question. How does the new UIF rule work, where the employees must apply for it themselves. Ive been at work for the whole month, getting half my salary and now get told I have to apply for UIF to get the other half. How is that even possbile? Is it even allowed?
