dave jones is a Cool Dude
if anything he might comment on All This Gear to look at one opamp
Yeah, I've been looking at a 936 clone. Or one of the numerous DIY projects available. Or that TS100 thing.
probably my meter too but hey it'd been professionally calibrated recently so it's better than most low budget hobbyists have to work with
Sure, Dave's alright. But he shits relentlessly on anything that isn't in the $1000+ range.
he doesn't though?
watch his how to set up an electronics lab video
he's like "i mean yeah you dont need a fancy programmable 5a power supply just get an lm317 and a couple trimmers lol"
Alright, he does have a video where he links to a bunch of budget stuff. But he doesn't recommend it. 😄
no, his one for a forrserious lab
i mean he works for a lab
also the rigol ds1054z is his standard oscope rec
and it's a $400 chinese scope
he goes hard on multimeters but honestly it's worth going kinda hard there esp. if you're measuring mains
hell dave uses the same chink reflow station i do
costs $50
also he's right about those pocket mini scopes those are uuuuseless
😄
well, fluke makes their scopemeters
but those are still super expensive for what you get
I simply find that the BigClive guy is a more reasonable go-to for home gamer stuff.
definitely
Dave's fine, don't get me wrong, but Clive's a chink at heart.
eevblog is better for people who're looking to go more into it or engineering students or just actual engineers
Aye.
I know next to nothing about the stuff, but I still very much enjoy EEVBlog.
he's pretty good for a "i like it enough to actually put some Money into this hobby" too
i've considered doing teardowns of chink things like bigclive does
Go for it.
Doesn't take a lot in terms of equipment.
but most of it's just really not very interesting, epoxy blob over a cob
😄
i have a lot more than i really need in terms of equipment
that gutted box in the pic is the case i haven't put the microohmmeter in yet
No, I mean for the actual recording.
upgrading my scope soon if i get the two apartments thing sorted, i really need four channels
Clive's just using a shitty phone for the camera, after all.
oh, yeah
The "sorry for zooming" stuff has annoyed me lately, speaking of...
also check this ridiculous bullshit out https://tangentsoft.net/elec/bitmaps/vgrounds/gnd-channel.png
