I'm always curious to see what tools others are using. In that spirit I'd like to share with
|
||||
you the tools I use in my electronics lab.

|
||||
## Multimeters
|
||||
|
||||
Multimeters are easily the most commonly used tools any electronics engineer will
|
||||
use. I've got a few in my lab.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fluke 115
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="amazon"><iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=ariejannet02-20&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=B01EWFB9FI&asins=B01EWFB9FI&linkId=4de8ae2945657f3c490b558392a91eb7&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></div>
|
||||
|
||||
This is a lovely multimeter. I bought it used on eBay in 2017, and it's still available. The 115 is a 6000 count
|
||||
multimeter that does _almost_ everything you might expect: DC and AC voltage, resistance, capacitance, diode and
|
||||
continuity testing and frequency. What is does _not_ have, however, is a milliamp or microamp range.
|
||||
|
||||
But, it's a very decent Fluke multimeter. It feel very solid and it measures and updates very fast.
|
||||
|
||||
### Uni-T 61-E
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="amazon"><iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=ariejannet02-20&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=B06XSYZZBV&asins=B06XSYZZBV&linkId=0d6ea85ab9cd4a4c4bd3741409e8da08&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></div>
|
||||
|
||||
This was my first _real_ multimeter. I picked it for it's friendly price, huge feature set and good
|
||||
reviews on the internet. This is a 20,000 count multimeter, meaning it offers better precision than the
|
||||
Fluke 115. For all intents and purposes, this is a very fine multimeter. I've used it for a few years
|
||||
and I'm still using it every now and then.
|
||||
|
||||
## Oscilloscope
|
||||
|
||||
If you're getting more serious about electronics, a decent oscilloscope is a must-have. It allows you
|
||||
to measure voltage over time. If you have a modern scope, you might get a lot of extra goodies like
|
||||
support for reading different protocols (serial, i2c, spi, etc.) and multiple channels.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rigol DS1054Z
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="amazon"><iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=ariejannet02-20&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=B012938E76&asins=B012938E76&linkId=b5f6c7e61539180be79f60d8cfb9c154&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></div>
|
||||
|
||||
I went with the Rigol DS1054Z for two reasons: it has a low price and it's features packed. It got good
|
||||
reviews and I prefered to buy something new and modern over some _vintage_ analog scope.
|
||||
|
||||
I later discovered that this scope packs all the hardware of its bigger brothers and can be hacked
|
||||
to unlock these. I'm still tempted...
|
||||
|
||||
## Power Supply
|
||||
|
||||
When I first started to look beyond Arduino, I quickly found myself in need of a power supply that
|
||||
could deliver different voltages. My first attempt was to build my own power supply, but I quickly
|
||||
learned that I would be better of with a commercial product.
|
||||
|
||||
### Siglent SPD-3303D
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="amazon"><iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=ariejannet02-20&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=B00GQD4G7I&asins=B00GQD4G7I&linkId=2209ae9b65fdb2ccc267648a65a14b73&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></div>
|
||||
|
||||
I bought the Siglent at a local electronics convention and I have never regretted that decision. This unit
|
||||
has two adjustable (0 - 30V/0 - 3A) and one fixed (1.5/3.3/5.0V 0.3A) outputs. This means I can power an
|
||||
arduino with the 3.3/5V outputs easily and use the other two outputs as a positive/negative supply.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, current limiting has saved my ass more than once ;-)
|
||||
|
||||
## Soldering
|
||||
|
||||
I have an assortiment of small pliers, solder wick and solder suckers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Aoyue 968
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="amazon"><iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=ariejannet02-20&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=B006FA481G&asins=B006FA481G&linkId=728e5a8dae4c9ad235dbcfd41c5f1b1e&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></div>
|
||||
|
||||
My wife gifted me this Aoyue 968 soldering / hot air station for my birthday a few years back. Best.
|
||||
Gift. Ever. It might not be a Weller or Hakko, but it's a decent unit that has served me well.
|
||||
|
||||
Best part of this unit is that it contains a fume extractor on the soldering iron. No more toxic
|
||||
fumes for me! Yay!
|
||||
|
||||
## Wishlist
|
||||
|
||||
There's still tons of goodies on my wishlist. A good bench multimeter and signal generator are high on
|
||||
my list.

Learning is an amazing thing. You can keep learning your entire life and still
|

be amazed about how much you don't know or understand. For me, learning is mostly
|

opening a terminal and getting my hands dirty. But to get a deeper understanding
|
||||
of a technology, there's nothing that beats a well written book.
