We have a $2500.00 donation from Mouser. What kind of bench gear can the ELab use?
Past inquiries have been for -
Data Logger
Pico Scope
4 quadrant Source Meter
RF gear

Gear has to be in Mouser stock.
Not going to spend this on tools, components, eval brds, etc. Think Bench Gear.
If we find something we want something that is over the donation, we can add to it.

If we don’t already have it, maybe something to troubleshoot SPI, I2C and UART for ESP32 and Rasp Pi devices?

The Rigol scopes have serial decode. Also think we have basic logic analyzer that will also do serial decode.

I would advocate for a thermal imaging camera.

We do have the FLIR, not sure if it is an actual camera though.

We have a Flir E4.

I vote for Automotive Scope and Leads please. Thinking something for relative compression, testing sensors against known good waveforms, etc. Unless @michaelb wants something else, he’s smarter than me.

Do you have @artg_dms confusd with @sixshot357 - Ironic that you held the purse and didn’t already get this stuff

P.S. We have the test leads and an old scope that does this.

@artg_dms what about this? It will also work with EVs

PicoScope 7 Automotive Software | Pico Technology (picoauto.com)

Thinking more along something like PicoScope 5444D MSO

Some matching funds are just an approval away.

Not seeing PicoScope 4225A or 4425A listed as a stocked item.

Add to the inquiry list - Frquency counter/universal counter.
Mouser carries Keysight and Tektronix. Keysight stock.
