Jam and Beans don't sound like a good pairing but maybe they are ?
A little Jamishness is just fine with Beans
@mclute0
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers.
Just got an ebay find of an old isolation tester made by a company later bought by Gossen- the state is good, probably around 40 years old, uses 6 D-cell batteries (that are new and probably alone worth more that what I paid for everything). Did some quick measurements, isolation check voltage is 660 VDC, and quite precisely 0.2A for checking small resistances up to 4 Ohms- therefore suitable to test VDE 070x compliant the resistance of grounding/PE.
And a pair of small pliers to cut wires after soldering, the other bigger wire cutter from Wiha for comparison...
Arrived today, from the nice people at Telonic, another Kikusui PMX power supply - ex demo 15% off.
This one, a 350V 0.2A model, can be connected in series with my other PMX 70V model (as these two have +/- 550Vdc isolation voltage).

I received a Amazon.com gift card and did not have any ESP32 boards yet so bought these.
But what a corporate bullshit is with these Amazon gift cards. I never used them so no idea about them. Received an email with the gift card and clicked the link to redeem it. It steered me to Amazon.com and I logged in. No problem there, but then I thought what shall I buy and looked on Amazon.fr, because then I can order without shipping cost, but to my surprise the gift card balance in that account was zero.
I contacted customer support and it turns out that gift cards are bound to the store they are bought in. So bought on Amazon.com stays at Amazon.com, bought on Amazon.fr stays at Amazon.fr, etc. F...ing bullshit.
Buying on Amazon.com for me is very uneconomical, with shipping and VAT

I had the 1202X-E and liked it very much, but always missed the 4 channels. Today I would decide for this one too.
Hope you get it before the weekend. Enjoy!

It is dumb, but, that means the person that bought them for you probably used .com instead of .fr. If I buy a gift card, we specifically use amazon.ca
If you wanted to sell to a trusted individual, you could probably sell it for ~95% of the purchase value, if needed.
amazon card is way better than a prepaid visa in terms of fees.

I guess that the person who gave it to me did not know either. Next time someone want's to give me a gift for helping them I will point them to PayPal. That way I'm not bound to Amazon.

i told my brother the last time he gave me an amazon gift card. 'i appreciate it, but next time could you make it a visa gift card? i don't like amazon.'
next birthday he hands me 4 $10 amazon cards.
Did you get it for free or did you have to pay a French "brocante" price.
That is one banged up device.
picked up the well known electronics textbook - Microelectronics by Millman & Grabel, from my local charity shop, today. Having gone into town to get a copy of "Unknown Pleasures" from HMV. Though not in stock so I downloaded that. Not wholly dissimilar cover art.

I've heard of fallen off the back of a truck, but I think this one got thrown off the Eiffel Tower.
I got (but not yet received) a DS1202Z-E from Rigol's clearance page. The father's day 50% off promotion put it quite below a Fnirsi 1014D, so I was hard pressed to let it pass.

Happy Father's day.
Thank you in advance, Ed (my locale is still lagging behind) and I wish the same to you (if this Sunday is father's day in Aus as well).

Millman series of books was the art of electronics before The Art of Electronics.
I’ve never had any interest in watches but recently my 20 year old $15 flea market watch has become unreliable so it was time for an update. After extensive research the watch I decided upon is a Casio F201-WA which cost me $20 with free delivery from Kogan. I ordered the watch late on Thursday and it arrived yesterday afternoon by courier,
one very satisfied customer I must say.Edit: Removed link to Kogan as they had doubled the price of the watch shortly after posting. Furthermore, they were flooding my email inbox with bullshit marketing spam which I had nominated not to receive in my account preferences, they completely ignored my requests to not receive this promotional garbage so I have since cancelled my only recently opened Kogan account.
a couple of freebies i stumbled upon today.
both are course books from NYIT (New York Institute of Technology), and McGRAW-HILL book company.
I'm trying to buy some of the safe/insulated alligator clamps like the ones that come with ctek battery chargers. 10 or 15A range.
example:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153107816566Just the clamps. 6 of each.
All the ones I can find have no insulation around the jaws. Any ideas? Or is Ed just interneting wrong?

You need to search for 100A ones. I suspect the 100A in the PMPO of Amps
https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=100A+Crocodile&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1 Not as elegant as the CTek ones and without pulling mine out some of those in the link are likely similar length. I limited the search to Oz only and you will save a few $ if you go with the wait and China.
