Silly Job Title: Energy Maestro. I am the Energy Maestro!

In this video we do the 12th project from the Maxitronix 30in1 Electronics Project Lab Kit: Music from a Pencil.

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope to investigate our oscillator’s waveform.

We use the METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station to solder our cables to the alligator clips.

We use the MUIN Solder Fume Extractor to clear the air.

We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to measure resistance.

We use the Multicomp Pro MP701033 Resistor Decade Box as a variable resistor.

We use the Carpenter Mechanical Pencil to draw our pencil resistor.

We use the Plato Model 170 Wire Cutter to cut our cables.

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

p.s. today I added MUIN to my spell check.

Silly Job Title: Volt Vanguard. I am the Volt Vanguard!

In this video we do the 10th project from the Maxitronix 30in1 Electronics Project Lab Kit: The Highs and Lows of Oscillation.

The spreadsheet with our measurements is here: Maxitronix-30in1-10.ods.

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope to measure the period of our circuit’s oscillations.

We use the UNI-T UTi260B Thermal Imager to check the thermal properties of our circuit. There was nothing exciting to see.

We use the Carpenter Mechanical Pencil to take notes.

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