In this episode Shahriar demos the world's fastest oscilloscope! The Agilent DSA-X 96204Q offers 160GS/s of conversion rate with a bandwidth of 62GHz on two ...
Here's another one I absolutely recommend - worth watching the whole 1 hour video. Mainly because of his excellent knowledge on what he's talking about, and how he goes about explaining all of it.

I have been using Arduino for over an year now. For a beginner, it is very necessary to have a structured tutorials to follow step by step, and take him/her to a point where they can confidently launch themselves into exploration. One such channel that help me was video channel of Jeremy Blum.

These guys to a great job showcasing many many new technologies and teaching us how to use them with instructions, schematics, and forums. This is far and away the best learning site.
A cassette adapter works, but is less convenient It’s been a while since I last made a PCB but I finally had need to make another circuit board. The board I needed to make this time was a simple circuit that would be installed in a ZX Spectrum +2B which would bring the record and playback lines out to standard headphone jacks so an external source like a smartphone could be patched in instead of having to use one of those cassette adapters. It came about because when the...

Bench Power Supply Project and Solar Powered Kindle Project
I meant to bring home my power supply this weekend, but I forgot and left it at work. It was the motivation I finally needed to build a new one. I had been thinking about it for a long time, but since the old one still works, there wasn't any real reason to do it. My old AT power supply My old power supply is a modifed AT power supply. It was easier to work with because of the way the power switch was wired. In fact, after removing the huge bundle of cables, the hole was the perfect...

SparkFun is an online retail store that sells the bits and pieces to make your electronics projects possible.
I personally like the open source philosophy of Sparkfun. As most of my work deals with electronics design, I find schematics and gerber files to be really useful, which I can plug into my designs. It mitigates the risk factor and shortens development time.

Learn to use an oscilloscope
This was a quick project to build a data logger, useful around the lab or elsewhere. So quick it can be built in a couple of hours, and with dozens of uses. The facility to log events or values over time is extremely important for many projects - it is a useful Swiss army knife to have around when needed.
Build a simple data logger, using Tiva Launchpad. We did not build it ourself but this one definitely looks interesting.
I designed and 3D printed a Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor, and used an Arduino to control the motor. All parts of the motor, excluding magnets...
When I was a kid, I always thought building a useful motor would be the most difficult thing. Looks like you can now 3D print a motor
Some people (not me) can successfully solder incredibly tiny Quad Flad No-lead (QFN) parts such as the one in the photo below by hand using a soldering iron or a hot air gun (the photo below is from a commercial board, not hand soldered). For wireless devices and modern sensors, surface mount device (SMD) packages as small as QFN have become the normal, default package.
Building a reflow oven. We have not build this one. This is something that we definitely want to build sometime in the future.

Multimeter for begineers

To a lessor extent, we get similar benefits like adafruit learning module from Sparkfun.
This is part 1 in a series. Check out Part 2: Using KiCAD and Part 3: Milling the PCB . When I got my Commodore 128 I was expecting I would just connect the RGBI TTL output to the GBS-8200 knockoff that I have been using with the BBC Micro’s RGB TTL output. Of course the moment I went to do that I realized that I had an extra pin for Intensity with no place to connect it. I found several circuits online that were supposed to convert the 4 bit TTL output to an analog...
