Video candidates for June (+many more months)
Added 2018-06-03 12:32:39 +0000 UTCThere has been only one thing I managed to do in the heat wave of the past week: Taking dogs to the pond. But cool stuff keeps piling up:
1. Fiber laser EP02:

- JMC integrated servo
- Mirror galvanometer
4. OSMU Rev2:
- RE Apex 10A +/- 100V 2 MHz Power Op Amp
- The LT1970 approach
- The class A+AB amplifier approach
5. Soldering stations showdown:
- Weller vs. TS100 vs. Unisolder
- PACE ADS200 vs JBC ?
6. Tektronix MDO3104:
- Overview
- DIY passive logic probe
- Keithley 2001 OLED display
- DIY active differential probe
7. Tinkerforge EP02:
- Heat seeking quadcopter?
- Stepper motor camera gimbal?
- Time of flight laser range finder?
- Robot arm?
And as if this wasn't enough there are also a few product video possibilities, none of these have arrived yet (luckily 😓) some have only been suggested and not accepted yet:

Whadya think? Anything particularly exciting, trends I am missing, boring items that can wait?

You know in your heart what you must do. Quit your day job and make videos full time ;-))

2018-06-05 07:42:07 +0000 UTCyou should do all of them, 10/10 not to much work ;)

2018-06-05 05:46:22 +0000 UTCOption 5 of course ;-)
Holger Barske
2018-06-04 10:02:10 +0000 UTCI would like more of topic #4.... and doggies. That doggy knew exactly where to go hehe.

2018-06-03 20:51:46 +0000 UTCIndeed! Need a powerful single board computer for the computer vision, then I could think of a few fun applications

2018-06-03 18:23:28 +0000 UTCAnycubic has just been shown by a 'colleague' so that's cancelled for now, but the other 2 are pretty much guaranteed :)
Marco Reps
2018-06-03 18:20:04 +0000 UTCYes! I've shown the possibility in my RTB2004 video, but didn't finish it in time ... now with a new logic analyzer it's time to do it. (Although I thin it's just super simple UART communication anyway)
Marco Reps
2018-06-03 18:19:10 +0000 UTCI have made the same with a super cheap 12V fan and even that works well BUT I really want one with segmented pipes and a big box standing on the floor, because I often find myself not using the freely standing desktop one for a "quick solder joint". If it is always there, doesn't take up space and turns on automatically with the soldering iron there'll be no way of ever not using it :)
Marco Reps
2018-06-03 16:45:42 +0000 UTCOn the subject of soldering fumes, I made a soldering filter by mating a 200mm Noctua PWM fan with this <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XNPGNY9/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XNPGNY9/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1</a> in a 3d printed enclosure. Works extremely well if I say so myself.

2018-06-03 15:34:35 +0000 UTCKeithley 2001 OLED display? As in hacking it to work with a different display? From a general standpoint I'd be very interested in that, so many things come with unusable displays.
Morten Hanasand
2018-06-03 15:23:08 +0000 UTCOSMU, Anycubic and ONETESLA are really cool subjects.
2018-06-03 14:55:48 +0000 UTCI would love to get an update on the OSMU!
Daniel Birrer
2018-06-03 14:11:16 +0000 UTCI'd like to see more on topic #3, the precision motion control. But, the 3D camera would be interesting, particularly coupled with vision software :-)
2018-06-03 13:39:23 +0000 UTCPace have apparently delivered a few defect tips and got a bad YouTube video in return, now they have to re-check everything which delays things a bit. Unisolder actually supports Paces TD100 system, TD200 (delivered with ADS200) might be very similar?
Marco Reps
2018-06-03 13:38:30 +0000 UTCMe too! Will try and order Rev2 PCBs before starting the spectrum analyzer, then I should have a week of waiting time to spare.
Marco Reps
2018-06-03 13:32:38 +0000 UTCThe soldering station Shootout. I want to replace my TS100, and the Pace ADS200 is intruiguing. Or Unisolder? I would be really interested in that video. DIY active differential probe - Sounds very interesting too. Whatever you chose, I'll be looking forward to them anyway.
Marco Vujevic
2018-06-03 13:31:47 +0000 UTCI'd personally love to see more on OSMU and then the spectrum analyzer.
