Just received my first oscilloscope! It's a Rigol DS1102E.

Very nice Heather, why didn't you go for a mixed signal device? Especially with the type of electronics you seem to be concentrating on.

Sent from my Motorola DynaTAC 8000m :)
 
when i quickly scrolled the screen i thought it was a heart/defib monitor

It's a nice hobby level scope. I got the DS1052E 50MHz model hacked to DS1102E 100MHz model. At work I use scopes that cost half of my house :)

Because I don't know enough about scopes to know that I might need that. I asked another technically minded Amibayer (TheCorfiot) if it looked like it would fit my needs. He said yes, so I went for it. Really, it will kickstart me into learning about scopes and I'm sure I'll figure out what I need from there. :thumbsup:

are you going to hack the firmware?:-D
I know there's a 50MHz version of this scope that can be upgraded with a firmware patch to the 100MHz version that I purchased. I just didn't want to void my warranty right out of the box. :)

cant blame you really,100mhz is more than enough for most anyway heather.


are you going to do a review of some of the features of this oscilloscope in the future?:)

The price difference is also much smaller than it used to be.

There are actually a ton of reviews about this particular scope that are most likely a million times better than anything I could put together with my limited knowledge. Still, I may do a review from a beginner's perspective once I've had some time to work with it. That may be valuable to others in my situation. :)

Exactly! The 100MHz version was previously hundreds of dollars more so it was worth getting the less expensive one to hack. I believe there is currently about a $70 difference between the models so I decided to go with the officially supported 100MHz model. :thumbsup:

My pickups from the videogame market :-) I think i did ok, i didnt buy anything until the very end as i was a very busy boy all day :lol:
thanks to gunstar for the virtual boy game, much appreciated :-)
vectrex mutlicart was from retrotowers who did me a nice deal, its all cased up now and in the vectrex.
2 hyper neo geo boards (buriki one and samurai showdown), 3 dc games were from a fellow forum seller and a 32x .
So i achieved my aim in not bringing back more than i sold at least :-)
 
Snagged a fantastic 3DO bundle, surprised to find the 3DO itself is brand new :o

Postman brought these for me yesterday!

ACA500 and a classic Action Replay 3 for the Amiga 500. (Sadly I cant use them at the same time!)

I also have an ACA1232 so will be pimping my A500 up to a 68030 with 128mb today!

Incidentally, does anyone know if the stock A500 PSU will struggle to run this setup, should I hack a PC psu for the job?

Regards

Nice buys :thumbsup:

I'm using an A500 (4.5amp) PSU here with my A500+/ACA500 and it's fine, if you have any problems then go for a converted ATX but you should be OK as long as the PSU is serviceable.
