Hardware Prototyping and Experimenting
#1

Just thought I'd post a couple of photos of a new bread-board that I've made up, for prototyping and experimenting. May give some ideas or inspiration to someone out there looking to 'tinker' and experiment. This particular board was purchased from Altronics in Aus, and cost around $37 on special. I've gone for this larger size with three integrated vertical boards, giving five buses for power distribution or whatever else you need and plenty of room to move. May seem large now, but I can assure you, it does get used up when your mind starts running with ideas.... Wink I also added a couple of buck/boost regulator modules, which can be found on eBay for about $3 or $4 each. This gives me a 12v rail across the top of the board, and then 5v and 9v power rails down the sides.

And here's the same board setup with a Nano and WeatherDuino TX software, while doing a bit of experimenting... Wink

Hi,

I use very similar solution, but DIY ... Smile

Notice, please, the upper breadboard with nScope - this is very nice and relatively cheap scope for use with Windows PC screen ... Today is possible to connect it to Raspberry Pi:
nScope

These solutions are perfect for testing some new sensors etc.

That nScope device sounds interesting. Where you bought it? I haven't found on the nScope web page any reference to prices or how to buy it.

This thread has already kicked off in a great direction. If you've got more info or photos about how you do your prototyping and experimenting, post them up with a few comments. Its always great to see what others are doing and how they do it themselves....

Thanks for your info and photos horny. I'm very interested in nScope as well. Watched a couple of their vids. Went and had a look at their webpage, and thought "Take my money already".. Smile But couldn't see anywhere to actually 'buy' the hardware. Where did you source your nScope from horny..???

Thanks again, and cheers.

That's the way everything starts... watch out, the Arduino is a very addictive stuff. Smile

Cool I see that you managed to put the LCD to work!

Hi Werk_AG,

I found a project on Kickstarter last May and I became a "backer" at a very early stage of project. Finished nScope I got around in March this year. The investment was, I think, USD 97 plus shipment to CZ.

Since then, I do not care much about the project and I thought that nScope will be commercially available. But now I realize that it might not be. That would really not occur to me. The best way is perhaps the authors write? Maybe: contact@nscope.org

Regards

Yeah, I thought similar... I've fired off an email this morning, and will let you know if I get a reply....

Hi Werk, got some code running. Still trying to work out the big picture. Starting to make more sense. Will chat you soon..

Nice topic !

I share the one I use and that I build a long time ago..

It is build in a case where I have integrated a DMM and two power supplies: +/-15V fixed for op-amp power and a 0-30V/1A variable power supply that is connected underneath to the 4 bread-boards. It can also be used as an external power supply.
