The Desk of Ladyada - Sample Sunday and a Sensor Swapout

Adafruit Industries

#deskofladyada #thegreatsearch #adafruit We are a-glow with some fun samples this week! We got some neat flexible and non-flex LED filaments we're checking in various colors and styles. Fun fact - we got some LED filaments years ago to stock but they only came in 70V and so we ended up not putting them into the shop because they'd be too annoying to use. We also got some nifty magnetic usb cables and a programmable USB PD cable! The Great Search - A good beginner oscilloscope https://www.digikey.com/short/80w8j2z4 We have folks ask us what's a good beginner 'scope to purchase. Turns out that even with a $500 budget, you can get a pretty nicely spec'd out scope that will help you tons in debugging projects. Since oscilloscopes come in just about every configuration, a lot of picking out a scope is going to be deciding what trade-offs you want with respect to channels, bandwidth/sample rate, and memory size. Let's check out what you can get on Digi-Key to kickstart your electronics workbench!
