I do electronics repair, fix test equipment from Fluke, HP, Agilent, Keysight, Boonton, Rohde & Schwarz, Racal-Dana, Philips, Marconi, and many more, as well as doing other general electronics repairs on whatever I get on my bench.

I am keen to work with brands to review products, so get in touch (I will only reply to brand owned email addresses, no gmail etc. there are too many scammers out there)

I do reviews, mailbag, projects, Arduino, CB radio, and fix electronics, or show anything that I happen to be fiddling with.

I believe repairing items and not contributing to a wasteful throw away society is essential, I want to work with companies that support repair, such as Keysight, Fluke, or any other manufacturer that publishes service manuals and diagrams, or that provide repair parts (so no, not you Apple) !

I upload new videos every week, so SUBSCRIBE and click the BELL !

Anyone into radio will probably know my website: www.radiomods.co.nz

Thanks for watching!
Scott.

I see you have a few other scopes. Could you do the following measurement? 50kHz on just one channel, timebase 500ns, Segmented mode (nothing else activated), sample rate (fixed) as low as possible, to get the longest capture time. Make sure, that the trigger actually triggers on every edge. And see which scope can capture the longest, without missing one single edge. My SDS814X HD maxed out at 620ms (500MSa/s). If i go lower with the samplerate, the capture time is longer, BUT it only captures every 2nd edge!

Great video showing what this can do. I have recently bought one of these and was disappointed how little functionality it had until I watched your video and saw how many more functions I can have for the purchased additional software and bought the add ons for my cars straight away. So good. These things should come either way s new car purchase.

I like to pick your brain. Someone gave me a Bodnar Mini GPS disciplined oscillator. It has a 50 ohm output that I will hook up to my Heathkit frequency counter's ext oscillator input. Should I terminate the line with a 50 ohm termination? p.s. I'm a dummy. I looked in the manual. The external clock input is already terminated at 50 ohms. 😂

I've never had much luck with those ST-LINK V2 clones, limited in their mode compatibility I think. If you have trouble then get an official STLINK-V3SET and use official STM32 ST-LINK Utility (or STM32CubeProgrammer) app.......and if you want the pins to use let me know.

The tan era started in the sixties. That tracer is almost as old as I am, as I was born in 1965. That was when they manufactured the best looking equipment in my opinion. They switched to blue in the seventies, as I have a scope I built from that era. Their last was hurrah was the little blue plastic cabinets and dark brown amateur gear, when Zenith ruined the company. These are not that complicated, as a stairstep generator is the secret behind them, along with a multi-voltage and current supply.

Nice. I did a similar thing with an 'intruder detector' (IR sensor & ESP32). Latches on when the IR triggers, sends a message then turns the latch off. Email is a bit last decade though 😜 You can create a Telegram bot and get the ESP to send instant messages. Does the same thing as an email of course and like your email, each person would need to create a Telegram bot to make it themselves, but it has the veneer of being more modern, plus you don't need to wait until your phone checks for email (e.g. mine is set for hourly checks). The other thing I thought while watching this was why use a relay and not just make a solid state latch? A P-Channel Mosfet, a transistor and maybe a diode. No moving parts. Hopefully a couple of alternate ideas or even improvements (that don't improve it that much 🤣)

Interesting project, great job monitoring snail mail. We have a similar problem as you as our mailbox is 600 feet (180 M) from the house and on the opposite side of the road. I went a lower tech route. Once our residence was upgraded to fiber I repurposed the old landline copper cable for a DIY mailbox alert. At the mailbox I used a cheap on/off key fob transmitter. I installed a magnetic switch to detect the door being open and closed. A little bit of hardware kludge logic to convert that to simulate pressing the on and off buttons. On the other side of the road on our property I mounted the receiver on the utility pole and used the old telephone wire to link it to a controller in the house. When snail mail arrives it sends an email to me and also an email that is interpreted as SMS on my cell phone. We still have a landline phone so next to the phone in the kitchen I mounted a little indicator, green when mail arrives and flashes red/green if the mailbox door is left open. There is a pushbutton to clear the alert to ready the system incase there are multiple mail deliveries that day and the system is automatically reset at night. Great being able to monitor battery condition, that is something mine cannot do as is is only on/off.

I have a Brymen and 2 Uni T meters for more than ten years ... We manufacture Automatic Quality Assurance testers for the white goods, electrical products and cable manufacturing industries. Testing earth bond, insulation, dielectric strength, earth leak, load, speed, dead short, temperature, pressure etc . Every year the meters are sent the standards labs to be certified ... never once have any of our failed me ... The batteries are replace every six months to ensure they do not leak or damage the meters...... I personally think Fluke is over priced. We manufacture both single phase and three phase ATE testers for high speed production assembly lines. The QA test results are stored on the testers and WiFi or LAN networked to data base computers, real time monitoring of production process.

MOISTET is not a known term in electronics, and it's likely a translation or typographical error in the instructions. Safe to assume MOSFETs.
