What's on the workbench?

[giovanni]

Very soon, yep. I'm waiting on an enclosure from Tayda to verify that everything fits like it should.

Yes, that's milliamps.

I gotta be honest, I’m more excited about this than any of the boards I have in my backlog

 

[Robert]

That's that aliexpress meter/display?

It is.



I've been wanting to do this for a couple years but was waiting for the 1590A line tool...

 

[benny_profane]

It is.

Very stoked. I’ll take one, please.

 

[Robert]

Shouldn't be long I hope...



Taking a crash course in "Where does 0,0 fall on the enclosure wall?" ...

Well fuck me for buying the one spot device a couple years ago then

Inb4 IT'S NOT A BUFFAH

I thought to myself.... "self... which pedal should I use as a test load for this thing?"

Ahhhh, of course.

 

[MattG]

Yes, that's milliamps.

If it measures amps, it's an ammeter.

Does that mean, if it measures milliamps, it's a "mammeter"? If so, we need some kind of mammary gland themed name for it!

I have one of those too.

This is really no "better" than what you already have, in fact the module that is doing all the work is almost exactly the same.

This one is just slightly smaller and metal instead of plastic... It also doesn't have the built-in 1/4" cable tester like the OneSpot, which you may see as a positive or negative.... I found it useless so I won't miss it.

 

[Harry Klippton]

Yeah I mean something I can build will always be better than something I can buy but it's not like I'm gonna ditch my one spot to build this

When do these hit the store?

 

[Robert]

When do these hit the store?

As soon as my enclosure arrives from Tayda I'll have a few available, then more in about two weeks.

I just need to make sure everything fits my template (or adjust the template) first.

I also have a bunch of the displays ready to go as well.

I'm expecting to a "compare to" credit for this one

mA meter has a first name...

That switching daughterboard is the Shields blender, right?

 

[jimilee]

Can somebody explain to me what it does. I feel like I need one, it’s just cool looking.

It measures the current consumption of a pedal/circuit/whatever.

 

[Harry Klippton]

Also wanna say this is really freakin cool
