A small 2 colour ePaper display. Not because I have a project for it, just to play around with until I think of a project it would be useful for.
The display update time is ridiculously slow, so for many purposes it would be quite useless.

My ePaper was delivered yesterday and is much smaller than yours!

Battery chemistry in use ?

SLA in this case.

So then... not right "today", but it came last week.



Siglent SDS210X Plus, including the SPL2016 Logic Probes. Thanks, Insurance Company 
And thanks to this forum this is now a "full options SDS250X Plus". 

And since

The number of working devices in the universe is constant

My AutoMower base station quit working yesterday, so the new gadget will get some work to do quite soon.

Oh, those are cute! Too bad the price is not what I'd like it to be.

I ordered a Crucial P3 (500GB) NVMe M.2 SSD to use in the HP EliteDesk computer I bought a couple of weeks ago. It was on sale for a pretty good price. I probably should have got the 1TB the sale price for it was even better.

I also got a tube of Loctite Clear Silicone Adhesive and a box of large size 3-ply Kimwipes, but those are not that interesting.

So give me ideas... What do you intend making out of it?

I actually bought 2.13" 3-color ePapers a few months ago, and my original plan was to use them for my DIY resistor box project (for calibrating my milliohmmeter), but before I started I read the datasheet and realized their refresh time was too long, so this time I bought the two-color ones and hoped they were fast enough. As for the 0.97" ones I showed earlier, I think they're great for displaying my 404 logo (meaning they don't really serve any purpose).

Ok, so we both came to the same conclusion. I believe the display I have (2.66in) states 15 seconds to refresh the entire screen. So I could use it on my "How much has the grass in my garden grown" sensor. Anything else is too fast for the display.

Humidity and thermometer with ePaper display, I have some SHT35 sensors.

And 2 secs before you look at it the display starts to update, then after 12 seconds of staring at it waiting to see what it resolves to you get bored and just fire up a weather website.

I don't know if this count on this section, but as a guy in electronics and electrical and loves engineering I can't resist to this pieces:



Bought some days ago, Casio GW-9400 Rangeman.

Finally ... a Peaktech 2170 Lcr-Esr

[Messtechniker]

You could join the "Test controller" club by making and
adding the definition file. 
Provided its not a HID device.

A bit later:
Its not a HID device.  But it uses a PL2303 chip some
versions of which do not work with Windows 10 or 11.
So the first thing I would do: check the supplied Peaktech
software to see if it works with Windows 10 or 11.

couldn't resist a Parkside DMM [PDM 300 C3]- now in Lidl store near me  looks better than the Aldi Ferrex

UT181A, bought it to log voltages with no PC attached, and download the data later.
Also it is very accurate..

[slurry]

I got a Brymen BM867s,
so far i can tell that this is an impressive multimeter for the money 

Problem is.. that i already have like seven handhelds and only have use of three at max.

[Vgkid]

The manual for the MV-106 , because I could...
The 4393 has been a hunt for over 5 years. Not much findable on it. Now I would like to find the newer one as well.
All from the same seller.

my problem is ... I have no analogical voltmeter and I need one to make a "capacitor tester".

Kind of ESRmeter but with a fuzzyfied scale measuring voltage in a testing circuit that probes for the active power and using a needle rather than a digital display for  readings:

          ESR(CAP) ----> { garbage ..... walking dead .... decent .... good ... excellent }

5 positions of the needle, from left to right

should I buy a cheap one?

I got to a radio flea market this yesterday. Bought a bunch of old components, plus a board with some metal can transistors. I was hoping to find a jfet or something, but it seems those are just some regular bjts.

I also saw components that I've never seen before: half-bridge rectifiers (or dual diodes in series). There are like a normal diode bridge, but half of it, and only three pins. I saw part numbers such as OF475 (from Phillips) and V15C250. They are small, comparable to IR 10DC-1R (which is easy to find on the Internet). Can't find anything on the Internet about them. I don't think they have any special properties, so no big deal, but curious why I can't find any info about them. Sadly, I didn't take a picture.
