Here we go, I'd like to be picked at random but I'll try to aim your soul...
DIYer for 15+ years, just about to become an EE, just my final project and I have my degree, if all goes well next month. I'm yet to get my first scope and with a few projects on the way is becoming time to get one... Don't cry for me, most of my projects where audio so I got away with my trusty sound card, but it just doesn't cut it any more.
Some of the projects! An SPL meter is one of them, few advance on that, all the components for the first prototype on the drawers, PCB designed, need to build one and start serious coding and debugging. An industrial automation system, this one is working for a year on the field, going to be my final project for the degree, fully open source, once finished all will be public for you to do whatever. More will be added to this device so it also will be on my lab needing scoping, and as industry device I use on the field myself, I could end developing quite a few perisphericals. Oh, and coming back to the SPL meter, the idea is to build a flexible measurement instrument on that platform, and I'd like to make it open source as well, at least part of it, as I won't be alone on that one.
So, if all this goes well it might end in a lot of projects, one of them is already a good part of my job (the industrial one) and for the other I have good expectatives but, as usual, trying to find time for it, hopefully as I finish the degree I can get to work on it.
Regards.
BTW, waiting for my 121GW, the BM235 feels alone and is asking for a bigger brother!
