content: This one's for our love of electronics.The DanyK.cz website (http://danyk.cz/index_en.html) has helped many of us electronics guys with schematics and projects for almost 15-years, so he's done honest time helping everyone else. He has two Youtube channels (danyk666 and DiodeGoneWild) the later of which now has ~42,000 subscribers, but as Dave has so plainly shown, that income is not all its cracked up to be. His English skills have been getting better and recently I've listed 3 really good tutorials he's done in the Electronics Primer sticky (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/electronics-primers-course-material-and-books/msg1416343/#msg1416343).I have no contacts with Tektronics or Rigol, butcan anyone help this guy if they do?He needs something better than this:Thanks!

content: Dany is a smart guy, and makes good educational and entertaining videos. He is good at explaining circuits and concepts (for example SMPS's), with hand-drawn diagrams. He often shows unique historical pieces of electronics too. I enjoy his channel. I was kind of hoping that he would submit something for Dave's guest series. For some reason, he gets a lot of Indian commenters making fun of his accent. As if their English would be any better!His website is an amazing treasure trove of well documented circuit examples.I especially like his "rapid prototype" PCB assembly technique.

content: Quote from: ogden on February 19, 2018, 02:19:02 amI suppose you're right, although I can't help thinking this is one of those rare cases where some DSO mfg. could right one off for advertising costs. I don't know him, but from the videos I've seen, he's buying junk for the love of the craft and now needs to stop and work on a little clean-up to organize his bench, tools and test equipment. FWIW, someone here on the forum living near me donated a scope for my shop, and I'd just like to "do a good turn" and get the ball rolling for someone else.

content: I would be surprised if at 40K subs that likes of banggood wouldn't provide one in exchange for a video demonstrating it.Bitluni's lab (who I'm pretty sure is on here too) got one just before Christmas from them and he has less subs than that:

content: I believe Danyk has no interest in such an equipment.It doesnt match to his personality and style of presentation.

content: Quote from: razberik on February 19, 2018, 12:33:31 pmOK, but it seems Pico Technology has made an offer to help. What should we do at this point? Do you speak for him?

content: I don't know what to take away from marginalization, but my community attitude survives intact. If Pico Technologies makes contact with this fine YouTuber, so be it. And if not, at least I've tried. It's not like I run around seeking handouts for total strangers, so if I've offended, so be it. But I have sad memories of living 5-years within a communist dictatorship, observing with both scarcity and resourcefulness close-up.

content: Woah chill out man. What does communism have to do with this? Sounds like you are stuck 30 years in the past.Nobody is offended or speaking for anybody else. Raz simply stated that Dany's video aren't really about test gear, and it's kind of true.In any case, I'm sure Dany would find funny & interesting ways to incorporate an oscilloscope into his videos. Good on ya for setting this up. Perhaps Pico can send Dan a message via his Youtube channel about page.
