Starting work on the final iteration of MEAD
<azonenberg>
added power connections for the LCD backlight, now i just have to move the SFF connector (which will be a royal pain, lol)
<azonenberg>
aaand done, just need to do design review
<azonenberg>
Then I can get the final design off to multech for a quote and start figuring out enclosures

[starshipraider] azonenberg 905c367 - Final MEAD design package for initial production run
<noopwafel>
that is a wonderful bug reply :)
<azonenberg>
noopwafel: in case you're wondering why my long term plan to the test equipment world is "burn it all down and start fresh"
<azonenberg>
lol
<azonenberg>
At least if my products have firmware bugs, people will be able to patch them
<noopwafel>
well, it could be worse then firmware bugs
<noopwafel>
I saw this "ADS1013D" touchscreen scope claiming 100mhz/1gsps on aliexpress, and went looking for internet commentary
<azonenberg>
well i mean hardware bugs are a thing too, but hopefully we'll iron those out before we ship stuff to customers
<azonenberg>
and lol
<azonenberg>
outright fake specs will not be a thing :p
<noopwafel>
well, apparently it *does* do 1gsps, and has a battery and touchscreen for ~$100 or something ridiculous
<noopwafel>
but you can imagine the high-quality frontend etc
<azonenberg>
frontend?
<azonenberg>
you mean it isnt just a badly soldered wire right into the adc?
<noopwafel>
*grin*

tried using scopehal with a rigol for a real thing, but this is not usable I guess :/
<noopwafel>
and then I tried sigrok which fails even more dramatically :\

while looking for that PDF on making nice DIY SMA cables, i found the main site for that course/lab and it's got a whole bunch of other useful materials: http://rfic.eecs.berkeley.edu/142/labs.html
<miek>
the videos with Joel Dunsmore are really interesting so far (i'm still watching)

still needs a set of affordable sma gauges
