Tools
Universal programmer
To program all sorts of memory devices and microcontrollers I use a
Galep III from Conitec. With this
device almost all devices in a DIP-package can be programmed.
Sordering iron
Of course a decent soldering iron is a must, when also small devices
should be soldered. For this I use an Ersa Analog 60.
Logic analyser
To measure digital signals, I have a logic analyser. This was an
Elektor project a few years ago. Unfortunately there is only a very
user-unfriendly DOS-program to control the device, but it serves its
purpose. With it up to 16 channels can be measured simultaneously
at 50MHz, which is sufficient for my purposes.
Oscilloscope
For measuring analog signals, I only can measure those qualitative.
Acurate measurements are not possible with my (very cheap :-) russian
oscillope.
Drilling machine
For drilling and milling I use a small drilling machine, which is
sufficient for the small holes in the PCBs. One doesn't have to perforate
walls ...
