monochroma: also jes is coming over to assemble the MEAD prototypes on weds
<azonenberg>
I plan on assembling and testing the v0.9 probe today
<monochroma>
:D
<monochroma>
exciting

wooo new milestone for MAXWELL
<azonenberg>
2998 unrouted
<azonenberg>
i got below the 3000 mark

azonenberg: I am glad to report that glscopeclient works fine on the Windows 7 machines at my workplace. We just compiled and tested it out
<Degi>
Yay!
<Degi>
Hmm, I think this 47 Ohm resistor has lots of inductance...
<Degi>
For some reason the power amp outputs 50 W at 10 MHz and 25 W at 4 MHz
<Degi>
Yup its way too cold to be 50 W
<katharina>
is it a cheapo one?

Degi: wire wound?
<azonenberg>
(that would make sense)
<Degi>
I dunno just some standard 47 ohm lol
<azonenberg>
yeah but its a multi watt resistor?
<Degi>
5 W i think
<azonenberg>
almost all of those are a ceramic shell with a coil of nichrome wire inside
<azonenberg>
so very high L
<Degi>
Ah yes nichrome
<azonenberg>
low-L power resistors are normally specialized RF loads
<Degi>
I added aluminium foil around it and that reduced Z a little haha
<Degi>
I've put a RF resistor for 20 bucks into my next mouser order
<azonenberg>
Speaking of RF resistors i need to build the v0.9 probe
<azonenberg>
was going to do it yesterday but got tired and went to sleep instead lol
<Degi>
...can I recommend you a nontoxic 450 W one
<azonenberg>
lol
<Degi>
Huh my arbitrary frequency generator algorithm works quite well
<azonenberg>
nontoxic? is the one you're looking at BeO or something?
<azonenberg>
DDS?
<Degi>
For some reason the FFT is being weird tho lol
<Degi>
It has AlN
<Degi>
The stuff on eBay has BeO
<Degi>
The FFT only shows a DC signal when I process 10000 samples, but at 10001 or something else it shows just fine
<Degi>
ah windowing
<azonenberg>
Is AlN that nasty?
<Degi>
Not at all I thuink
<Degi>
Its aluminium and nitrogen
<azonenberg>
i was gonna say i thought it's pretty inert
<azonenberg>
not like BeO
<Degi>
Yeah thats why I said nontoxic
<Degi>
Hmh I do have that 2400 W of RF transistor amplifier with BeO tho

PMK parts for the production probe run arrived to the distributor, shipping by 2-day to me
<azonenberg>
should be here quite soon
<azonenberg>
and i dont even have the final pcb spin ready yet lol
<azonenberg>
i was expecting those to be the bottleneck, they shipped in 2 weeks instead of the 6-8 they quoted
