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.
_Full disclosure: the links below are Amazon Affiliate links. This costs you nothing, but
I will get a small commission on each sale Amazon makes._
## 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&region=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&region=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&region=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&region=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&region=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.

## Going paperless?
<a href="http://amzn.to/2bfTHqN"><img class="img-right" src="/img/kindle_paperwhite.jpg" /></a>
I _love_ my Kindle. It's light-weight, has a battery that lasts about 4 weeks (I read about 1 hour a day), and it features a quality e-ink screen. The 3G option is fantastic, as you can leave your Kindle always connected and use services like [Readability](https://www.readability.com/) to send web pages neatly formatted to your Kindle for later reading.
Almost all of the books listed above are available for Kindle as well. So if you're not already paperless, why not start now?
