It might, the scope will do all sorts of things that I simply haven't played with (though I do have a vague memory reading something about it's storage capabilities). Unfortunately the software for the desktop is not so competent, and seems pretty much limited to enabling channels and setting the timebase and the v/div. But that is OK, bumping up a couple of orders of magnitude on the sig gen is just a button press away :), and I wouldn't want to come across as professional! One day, maybe, I'll figure it out. If you know of any decent desktop software that supports Hantek 4000 series scopes, I'd be interested.

Cheers, I'll give that a go.

I'm a big adherent of learning by your mistakes! Last time I did electronics SMD was a futuristic sorcery, so it is a bit of a step change (only with worse eyesight). I'll get there. One mistake at a time.

LOL, It is the future I am told!

ipevo VZ-R HDMI document camera (www.ipevo.com) ezcap video capture -> USB 3 port Powered USB 3 hub* *The scope is not plugged into this hub, bc it doesn't work if it is! That goes straight into the PC. Dunno why. Just is. FY6800 signal generator has software on the desktop capable of controlling it (and capturable) "DDS signal PC software". I think it came with the sig gen, but I may have had to hunt it down on the internets. Can't remember. The Hantek DSO4104B 'scope also has software available for desktop control (and thus capture). This software came with the scope, but utilises the Keysight IO libraries (2023), which I had to download and install when I moved over to windows 11 (since the ones that came with the scope were a lot older). Mic is a blue yeti lights, are just cheapo ring lights off ebay, using reflected light off the walls rather than directly onto the object. It is all pulled together through OBS (using window capture for the apps) And then the editing is done in KDenlive Any post-filming audio is just done in Audacity. Computer is nothing special, just a NUC running win 11. At the time, the document camera was the best option available for me. It is relatively cheap, and enables both macro and wider desktop capture. For the closeup work, the camera is reasonably good (as you can see), though I find it helps to have it display the output on a separate screen as well - I use the loop out on the ezcvap box. That is not necessary though, because you can see the image on the OBS capture screen. I have tried older document cameras too, but um, yeah, they were not really up to the job. So check the specs and if you can, & see one running before buying. For filming though, can't stress enough how much sound and lighting matter. They seem like peripheral issues, entirely besides the point of the electronics, and they are at that, but they are also entirely necessary if you want to make watchable videos. I am a long way off working this stuff out myself. I'd love to get this all working on a Linux box, though I had some difficulty with the scope and the sig gen. One day I will figure it out!

Cheers dude, appreciated.

@simmo1024 :)

I don't know. I will see if I can see next time I get it out.

No, they are obviously NOT Original 1980s 6502s, I'm guessing they are 65C02's - because they DO work, and interestingly, will run at very low clock speeds, which if my memory serves, the original 6502s would not.

@@simmo1024 I know this is an old video, but from WikiPedia, you could prove that! he 65C02 fixed several problems in the original 6502 and added some new instructions, but its main feature was greatly lowered power usage, on the order of 10 to 20 times less than the original 6502 running at the same speed

@@muxerbaker4638 I might have a look at some point.

There is a definite change in the feel of the switches though, the clicky bump feels very different. The sound is deeper and more satisfying - which I would put down to the better quality keycaps. The Gateron Clears are probably a little light for my heavy-handed typing.

The plan is to have a separate clock for the single-step. I may well use that clock for the single-step mode switch as well. I have some goodies on the way from Hong Kong which may make things more interesting. Also, have some RAM on the way - a full 64kb! Not sure which will come first...

I wouldn't dream of being able to compete Dave. But... I reckon a Raspberry Pi, a Hue+ and some home-made RGB LED arrays might just do the job :) You could put Jingle Bells on endless loop and have the lights dance along to it. 8).

Me? I'm low static I am. My impedance is less than the resister they put in the wrist straps. :)

Just a bit. Build is probably going to be delayed for a couple of weeks at least now.
