The class includes a variety of test equipment like power supplies, DMMs, and Rigol oscilloscopes. One of the oscilloscopes is a Rigol DS1052D which is a “Mixed Signal Oscilloscope.” In addition to the two 100MHz analog channels, the scope also include 16 digital channel channels. It is a logic analyzer and oscilloscope in one!

The unique twist on this collaboration is that he is located in Menlo Park, CA and I am in Austin, TX. We’re collaborating remotely while doing most of work on the TechShop locations in each of our towns. Our Quadrotor is desgined from scratch. All major components have been adapted from other sources but, otherwise, designed by us for this project. We have no flight experience and neither of us has ever attempted a project on this scale before.

https://www.baldengineer.com/building-a-custom-quadcopter-from-scratch.htmlSun, 21 Apr 2013 17:36:51 +0000https://www.baldengineer.com/?p=1641A couple of years ago I started looking at what it would take to make a quadcopter. At the time, I only had the limited tools at the Austin hackerspace available to me (which I don’t think even has a space anymore). So I shelved the idea since I didn’t see a time effective way to make any of the components. Fast forward to a few months ago when I joined the TechShop in Austin. Now I have no excuses to not make a custom Quadrotor.

Instead of trading gift cards like we usually do, I decided to put to use the Laser Cutter at my Local TechShop. When done, I decided to use iMovie on my iPhone to make a mini trailer…https://www.baldengineer.com/making-a-3d-print-with-the-makerbot-replicator.htmlSat, 24 Nov 2012 00:21:33 +0000https://www.baldengineer.com/?p=1426Recently TechShop opened up one of their shops in Round Rock which is just a few minutes from Austin, where I live. TechShop is an awesome membership based workshop with a huge variety of tools useful for making things. On this holiday Friday I decided to spend some time with the MakerBot Replicator. For some time I have been looking at a mini-tripod for my camera/iPhone so I could get pictures of projects while working on them. While browsing Thingiverse, I came across design files for such a thing.
