Today I acquired...........

From what I've been reading on the EEVblog Electronics Community Forum it would appear that the advantage of the STM32 is that you can use custom firmware with it.

You have not seen EEVblog I take it.
Obviously some very clever people on there but many are seemingly unaware of the law of diminishing returns.

A dead sexy 400 litre roofbox for my little Nissan van.




Ex hire, only 12 months old with barely a scratch on it, and at £100 cheaper than a new one I'm somewhat pleased with it. They also threw in a handful of luggage straps, foc, which is what I went in for in the first place , and carriage from Tonbridge to North Yorkshire was quite reasonable as well .

The related You Tube channel. He has some reviews on meters and low end scopes which is how I found the You Tube channel but really if you are having difficulty sleeping, stick one of his videos on and you will be fast asleep within five minutes.

The canal locks were drained for maintenance 200 metres from where I live and £72 worth of coal was sitting at the bottom, no one knows why or how but its now in my coal bunker. I'm sitting by a roaring fire tonight and considering myself a jammy barsteward .

45 years ago I had the chance of one for free, the only catch the guy who owned it said I had to lift it into my car on my own

If, and by the look of it you did, you transported that on a large lorry then thank you. It amuses me to see artics and like with a pathetically small load on the back. For example, a 40' flat bed with a single office chair strapped to it. It passes the time on motorways.

Not today but Tuesday. Received this little soldering station.

I've had one of these for a while....they are very handy.

I also have the hot air version which I believe is meant to be used for removing larger components but I find it very handy having a temperature controlled air source.

This video shows you most of the features available.

I was given a Troika lamp today signed by Simone Kilburn and i will be finding a nice LED bulb and period shade for it.

 

[fizzy]

Not today but yesterday picked this up for not much more than the Aldi/Lidl offering.

I have a similar Startrite bandsaw if you need any advice.
Awesome machines - set it up right and it will cut to within less than a thou!

 

[fizzy]

Do any one know where I can get a Manual for the Bandsaw

It worked out well as there was a few feet of empty trailer behind a portable conveyor I loaded yesterday.

Sadly I lost the photo, but the best one I carried was last year, when I had a weekend at a truckstop near Symonds Yat in the Forest of Dean. I bought a Grumman aluminium canoe, as you would , and brought it home on the back of an otherwise empty 80 ton special Types trailer .

Jammy indeed but...you'll probably have to dry that out on the fire before it'll burn.

Yep, the bags are full of mud and the coal saturated, its going to be hosed off and dried under cover.

Another free speedglas im tarting this one up

This was left at current job about 3 years ago, I'd go back and grab anything if I leave a job .. must not have paid for it in the first place

Might be quite useful, Pretty interesting for a vacuum IMO. The way it uses the "cones" I would call them to separate debris. looks like the battery is similar to a cordless tool but not the same on all models.
