New toy

[kustard]

Got myself a new toy for helping with some projects coming up.

Here it is checking out a near 1mS waveform generated from a PIC18f452 uC :)

Cheers,

:shrug: Cool , but I was born in the " wave form " desert , what does it do ?
Thanks .

;) Ahhh sorted ???? :lol: .
I had a "Spirograph" as a kid and I loved it , it drew squiggly lines as well ?

Ooooo !! nice toy ... let me check my xmas pressie list .... dammit ...full !!

Sorry I should have been a bit more descriptive in my original post about what the unit actually does, a bit slack really.

Basically it lets me measure and view voltages and waveform that are generated by electronics. I'm using it to help me debug a project I am working on.

I didn't really need one as fancy as this one but they are very affordable these days especially when I think back to a few years ago such units would be very very expensive.

Cheers,
Simon

Lol love that, the ones we had back in vce looked a bit like a small TV hahah. Never really used one strangely enough, but i know when there needed you cant live without one :) Probably would have helped me alot winding crossovers for speakers :(
