MPLAB PICkit 5

I am saving my pennies so I can buy the MPLAB PICkit 5 In-Circuit Debugger and Debugger Adapter Board.

Other things I am interested in but that are a bit beyond what I’m willing to pay for at this point in time include:

I am planning to install the MPLAB X IDE, I just haven’t got around to it yet. I will do that after I have purchased the PICkit 5 programmer.

Investigating better lighting for the bench

I was watching Remnants of the Capacitor Plague where they mentioned about these lights: 3 in 1 6W 6500K Industry Microscope LED Gooseneck Light Illuminator Lamp Spot Light Lamp Fill Light Lamp With 60 LED Ring. I wanted to know more so I asked about which ones the YouTuber purchased themselves. I hope I hear back! (And I may not hear back, it seems my question might have been flagged as spam, possibly because I included a link to AliExpress in the comment?)

Let’s go shopping!

Equipment from Peak Electronic Design

The British company Peak Electronic Design has a wonderful range of Test Instruments.

Today I purchased these ones:

Still on my wish list is this one:

The reason for this particular splurge is that after I purchased my METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station element14 sent me an email with a coupon for 15% off. Since these Peak Atlas devices were on my wish list I figured I might as well get them while I can get 15% off.

Electronics projects mentioned by friends

Today on IRC some of my friends recommended or mentioned:

Also, honorable mention: Eliza for the Neo6502 running Morpheus firmware and Neobasic.
