content: For sale -- a Conitec GALEP-4 Universal ProgrammerIncludes:* Conitec GALEP-4 Programmer* Parallel port cable (DB25 1:1 wired) - not original part* "Wall wart" type power supply with UK plugThis is a 40-pin pindriver-based universal programmer with a parallel port interface. The unusual thing about it is that it's incredibly portable - it'll fit in the palm of your hand and can be run from rechargeable AAA batteries (not included!) or an external power supply. Perfect for field service work, upgrading firmware on old kit or possibly mucking around with car ECUs. Who knows? The possibilities are endless.I bought this a few years ago as a refurbished unit and have used it for reading out and programming EPROMs and PLDs for computer and embedded gear. It works fine, but the power supply and parallel cable have been replaced with off-the-shelf equivalents.Selling because I just got a really good deal on a GALEP-5. Now I need to sell the old one to avoid the wrath of She Who Must Be Obeyed. My loss, your gain!Current software v1.20.01 programs 6049 devices (12924 if you count the different package variants too) as of May 2013, with more added regularly.Manufacturer's webpage is here --http://conitec.net/english/galep4.phpFull, searchable supported device list --http://conitec.net/english/galep4device_list.htmPrice - open to reasonable offers. Farnell are selling new ones for £335.98 +VAT.Payment - if you're in the UK, I'd prefer a BACS bank transfer. PayPal is fine too.Postage - I'm located in the UK but will post worldwide.

Incidentally, it seems Conitec are offering an EUR100 discount on a GALEP-5 if you send them a GALEP-4 (like this one) in part exchange.So let's say - £50 or near offer, plus postage to your location.

content: I was in harbor freight today looking at screwdrivers and came across these.They are made in Taiwan unlike most other harbor freight screwdrivers. Though I do have one question ask. Does anyone know how reliable VDE GS certification is?The website makes it sound good but I thought I would get an outside opinion. They are listed at 1000V insulation rating. Also they feel very comfortable in the hand. The shaft seems study, despite being plastic even on the longest one I can't get it to flex.As for the price they are on sale for $7.99 after a 20% coupon the price drops to $6.40 plus local sales tax.Edit: fixed broken image tagSent from my EVO using Tapatalk

Currently I use sticky tape to seal off the mA and A terminals to prevent dust getting in it. Just hate it when I lifted the tape, those sticky gunk left over + dust sticking on it, making the DMM so dirty.Photo attached below are the example plugs came with Fluke 287 or 289, not sure at other Fluke's model.

I guess they used it to troubleshoot one problem and then returned it, cheap instrument hire.It's been back to Fluke and checked over, working fine. Comes in a snazzy soft case and includes all original accessories, manuals, CD's. Looks 100% new.List price £1150+VAT, I'd like £500+VAT please.Will ship anywhere at cost (UK £10, most Euro countries £20 but please ask). VAT invoice issued, can supply without VAT outside the EU or to EU customers with a VAT number.

Some items may have a limited length of manufacturer warranty due to having just been repaired. The manufacturing date on other items is so new that the manufacturer can't dispute that it must still be under warranty.Agilent, Fluke, TTi, Hameg and a couple of other companies are exceptional when it comes to warranty repairs, they don't quibble at all. I'd put TTi absolutely at the top of the list when it comes to customer service.Back to the Fluke 345... calibration date April 2013, warranty won't be an issue, price reduced to £500+VAT

Pancake type (flat) are sensitive to all ranges but much more expensive.Some tubes, frequently military ones are for hard radiation where they are immune to most general radiation and only activate under higher doses. So anything that says "Hard Beta" or "Hard Gamma" will not be very sensitive to what you may be experimenting with.You'll also need to have a passing familiarity with how Cyrillic characters are converted into English when doing your searches.C with a backwards N is usually translated to SI. Most of these tubes do have datasheets in Russian but you can find the location where the voltages are specified fairly easily.In general, American tubes are ~900V, Soviet/Russian tubes are usually ~400-450V. You can put a few 100 or 200V Zener diodes in line to drop the voltage of an American style counter to work with 400-450V tubes.. Also make sure you check what the impedance needs to be. Many tubes will specify a 1M or 10M series resistor.

timestamp: December 03, 2013, 09:38:24 am
content: Part 2 of the clean up...3 different PCBs that were part of an automobile lighting project...but I've been using them for "whatever" since.I've got a decent schematics of all 3 of these boards somewhere, but can't find them at the moment. Probably end up redrawing them from memory. At any rate, the boards are simple enough that anybody with a decent knowledge of the parts should be able to figure them out easily enough.I've got a few hundred of each of them.#1 - Controller PCB (no parts included!!!)Based off a PIC16F628A, 20Mhz Xtal, 3x STN2NE10L N-channel MOSFETs, decoupling caps, protection diodes, 7805 regulator on the back (and space for a 5-way tact switch and RGB LED, both of which are made of unobtainium these days).All the pins are broken out to the pads on the bottom edge, as well as unfilled vias. Pads on the left side go to the MOSFETs and power input/output.I used this board occasionally when I need to offload power control from an MCU to something else.#2 - A 3 channel power distribution board (no parts included!!!)3 channel power control board. I used 3x IRF9Z24N P-channel MOSFETs, diode polarity protection, pullup resistors, and series gate resistors.Control pins are at the "top" of the board, as well as polarity protected power at the upper/left. Power input is at the bottom/left (yes, with a really crappy solder connection!)I use it in conjunction with the above board to control a fairly substantial amount of power.Last year, I modified the board to use N-channel MOSFETs. Easy enough, just reverse the power connections, jumper the polarity protection diode holes.#3 - LED strips (again, no parts included!!! LEDs aren't cheap!!!)3x RGB LED strips. In the upper part of the picture, the board is already cut with jumper wires installed. This was done to spread out the board a bit.The wires on the right (red,white,green) are the grounds for the individual colors. The black wire is the power coming in.3 resistors on the right (27, 33, and 75 ohm) are the series resistors for the LEDs.4 more wires on the left run out to another strip.Uses the "standard" square LEDs. I've been using them with those LEDs as well as the fairly large 2 pin 5mm LEDs in various things...just don't use the other 2 pins.I'll call it $1/each.Have to add shipping for each of them, UPS or FedEx preferred. Shipping from 58701 if you want to calculate shipping for yourself.PM me if you want/need some of these.
