Silly Job Title: Plugerinerer. I am the Plugerinerer!

The scope measurement of charging and discharging our capacitor

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope to investigate our signal.

We use the Riden RD6006 Bench Power Supply to provide 10 V for testing.

We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter for continuity testing the switch we use on the breadboard.

We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.
