Technik & mehr von damals und heute
This short post is only intended as an aid to be able to look up quickly if necessary. Over time, each of us will probably accumulate countless power packs and adapters. Some are fixed voltage power supplies, others can be adjusted in the range of the output voltages. The output voltages of these power supplies…

This project – actually a mini project – might also be interesting for one or the other. It is the now well-known and frequently used carbon dioxide sensor SCD30 (CO2 sensor) from the manufacturer Sensirion. There are a number of projects that can be found on the internet. As part of a quick test setup,…

As a mini – craft project for the summertime I call the following tinkering. A small monocrystalline solar module called “SM 6” from a well-known large electronics distributor starting with “C” and ending with “d” plays the main role in the project. The module has a nominal power of 6Wp with a maximum current of…

Unfortunately, the intervals in which I find some time to write a new post for the blog have not gotten shorter. But post a post per month, I think … 🙂 This time it’s not a retro craft project from the local Gefielden or a restoration of an old device, but again something about Arduino.…

A functional update for the IV-11 DCF melody watch is available from gr-projects. It is a radio temperature transmitter. The special thing about it is, that the transmitter operating in the ISM band 433 MHz is equipped with a photovoltaic cell (solar cell). Depending on the version, a small rechargeable battery or a CR2032 button…

The bench multimeter from Keithley is an old companion in the field of measuring instruments. The types of the 2000 series are predominantly used in our laboratories. They are available in different equipment variants with regard to the interfaces to the outside world. Here GBIP bus is of course a standard, as is RS232. The…

In this post I would like to devote myself to something else. It’s not about retro technology, it’s about a little thing that makes working in the office/lab easier. One of the many measuring devices I deal with is an old Agilent LCR meter. As is known, the LCR Meter 4297A can be used to…

I received a new kit for vacuum fluorescence display from Günter (gr-pojects). Thanks a lot! It is a clock with Type IV-11 vacuum fluorescent display tubes for hours, minutes and seconds, and an IV-18 tube for date display, and IV-3 for displaying the day of the week. The clock consists of a mainboard with power…

Now that the front panel is milled, it can be cleaned and the engravings are provided with black paint. After the varnish has dried in the indentations of the engraving, the supernatant paint is removed with solvent. Now the entire panel could be painted with clear lacquer. While the paintwork on the front panel is…

After the self-made Geiger Müller counter and the associated experiments, I noticed that there is one or the other radioactive element in our environment. With the SOEKS 01M Geiger counter, an industrially manufactured device, I have now again “scanned” objects in the area. Again, I realized that some of the old clocks in my collection…
