Electronics Repair: Fixing a Signal Conditioner Older Than Me
In this video, we take on the challenge of troubleshooting and repairing a vintage DCDT signal conditioner card used in a servo-hydraulic triaxial rock deformation machine. This particular card, older than I am, came to us from a customer who needed it restored for critical rock mechanics experiments. Despite its age and complexity, I was able to diagnose the problem, repair the card, and have it fully operational in just half a day.
Watch as I dive into the issues, utilizing tools like multimeters and oscilloscopes to track down the fault. Along the way, I’ll explain the principles behind the circuit and share insights into how I approach repairing electronics.
This repair highlights the importance of understanding both modern and legacy electronics, and it’s a great example of how troubleshooting fundamentals remain timeless-even for equipment designed decades ago.

MEMS Inclinometer Changing the SD Card - How To
Magnets, how do they work!
It looks like that may have been a tantalum cap. They are known for going dead shorted. Sometimes this just happens randomly with time. Other times it happens when they go over-voltage. And on a tantalum, over-voltage could be a volt or two over the rating. If that was an under-speced 15V or 20V cap, it could have failed at 22 or 23V. Hopefully the replacement cap you put in is at least a 25V cap, even though normal electrolytics aren't quite as sensitive to a small over-voltage.
What happens if you put your head in it?
You have a very large hat.
Someone takes a picture and then it's on the internet forever.
A Faraday cage around those coils and you are assured no outside interference; An inexpensive addition by comparison... That device *may* "cancel" out Earth's magnetic fields (upto 4.5 Tesla's) the effectiveness of that device will greatly depend on a handful of factors: location, time of day, position of the moon... A Faraday cage (even using inexpensive perforated iron) would negate these. The Dance Theater at the UofA has a unique construction where perforated iron is used as part of the aesthetics; Well grounded and covering ceiling, sides... Limits environmental signal interference though I don't think that was the intent.
4.5 *Teslas?...* Dude, neither the Earth nor this build is ever producing a field that even remotely approaches a single Tesla.
@AtlasReburdened That's not really a whole lot; I forgot the conversion to Gauss... Also, the main reason environmental chambers exist; I used one at IBM to earthquake simulate test a LTO tape drive decades ago.
@@michaellatif It's literally 90,000 times stronger than earth's magnetic field. Again, there's zero posibility that earth, or this device will ever even remotely approach a single Tesla.
@@AtlasReburdened Units, I missed a factor and you multiplied two because 1 Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss. So, 4.5 Tesla is 45,000 Gauss. Not 90,000. Guess what *useful* skill I acquired from this?
@@michaellatif I said 4.5 Tesla is 90,000 times the strengh of Earth's magnetic field. I did not say that it's 90,000 Gauss.
Portable magnetic field? Nice. 😎
that's 2 sets of almost Helmholtz coils, which are supposed to be circular.
There's clearly 3 pairs of coils there.
@ wasn’t clear to me, obviously. That makes for sense , since an (axial) vector has 3 DoF, it also means “a set” of Hh coils mean 3 pairs. It all makes sense now.
I can hear the agony in the silent tears shed by the student when the prof called it “a little bit of code magic”
Now do the same thing for gravity. :-D
If we figure that out, we'll be sure you let you know :)
Don’t tell the flat earthers. They won’t understand why every object placed inside the device and earth’s magnetic field cancelled out doesn’t equal floating objects.. aka “anti-gravity” tech.
Are you saying that in a flat earthers framework, gravity = magnetism?
Looks like the intern did a nice job!
She sure did!
Way cool ❤😊
Thanks!
Can it make stuff float?
@@DesertedhailMaglev trains, not gravlev
@@unbasedcontrarian magnetic levitation, its in the name, not everything that uses magnets is the same. You’re just a bit dumb
No, if it was a lot stronger, it would be able to with adequate controls, though. Check out the work done at the National High Magnetic Fields Lab though - they can make things float!
Thanks for sharing! Always enjoyable to watch others debugging something like this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Troubleshooting can be relaxing, especially when its over!
beware of the porousity of 3d prints. any oils, leaks, moisture from air or such, coolant from machines will accumulate over time and possibly creep into structure. and uvgonna kill it too.
Why so big though? That's a ton of empty space for the size of the actual components. Could you make it smaller and use heat resistant/sound dampening foam to make it smaller?
Mounting the LabJack on top took up a lot of space. Also much smaller than the machine its associated with. Thanks for watching!
@@leemangeophysicalEven then you can pretty much fit the entire LabJack inside of the box because its so big. I see no reason why you can't make the box the same size as the labjack and just have slightly longer cables. And thats only if the labjack needs to be outside because of heat which it doesn't if you just 3d print a box with ventilation.
@nameofsomething1731 It's a lab instrument, so the LabJack needs to be accessible for modifications. Our customer was quite happy.
@@leemangeophysicalmakes perfect sense now

Those tools are selling fast
I have to question the wisdom of putting a hygrometer right in the dessicant holder - if there was a lot of air movement it might be OK, but really the only air reaching the hygrometer is that which has passed through the dessicant - literally the dryest air possible in the entire AMS enclosure. I suppose this would be okay if users understood this was the "minimum humidity" in the enclosure, but it's not necessarily reflective of the average humidity of the enclosure.
Very fair point. Humid air is less dense than dry air oddly enough, so dry air will settle to the bottom of the enclosure. When printing the spools moving do help with mixing, but how effective that is would be an interesting investigation.
Just got a Kobra 3 combo. the ACE pro is also a dryer, so i dont have to worry about passive drying or replacing desiccant. Will likely be using PETG on this printer so it will help a ton.
Desiccants won't really dry filament, but can help them from absorbing it. Use color changing desiccant to know when to change it.
Color changing desiccant is great!
Be careful when drying color changing desiccant, especially the blue one, it contains a very toxic substance, so keep it in mind when using your own oven or microwave.
Just Run ABS
It's a good material, but not for every part!
ABS will absorb moisture as well, just slower. There are better filaments for most ABS use cases now as well, and easier to print. Unless you are going for a speed benchy lol, then use ABS and 40% fan.
The packets are definitely renewable. Cut them open and cook until dry.
According to Bambu they should be replaced. Beads have been a lot more effective in lowering humidity for us in this and other applications, but good to know that they *can* be cooked.
I was under the impression that petg wasn't moisture sensitive?
We've found it to actually be very sensitive to moisture. Even more than ABS. See some examples here: www.reddit.com/r/ender5plus/comments/11nvesa/wet_vs_dry_filament_petg_wow/?rdt=53094
It 100% is. Not sure where you heard this, but it's bad information.
@@jcenergy2493 mostly because I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever
the g in petg after print the g is gone and pet stabilized against moisture reactions, well at least mostly
I have no use for the information, but I love the matter-of-factness
Quis sanadates ipsos sanidatores?
no, but that sounds radical
Cut whatever. I just want to see that beauty working!!
We're working on it now and trying some thick materials! Stay tuned!
Talk about solving a problem that didn't even exist.
That must be why we sell so many!
Ayyy first comment! 👍🏼 🤙 This meter is freaking awesome for it's price only like $55 online. I'm about to buy one!
We think it's the best value for the money for most people that need a meter... which is everyone!
One of the best? It is vital
What meter do you like to use?
The look on an end user's face says exactly what this sounds like. ....plus a bit of, "When is this over?"
Agreed
bullshit.
How? Genially concerned
i see that mini delta in the back
You sound like wally cox
Nice toolset. Don't know if I like Klein screwdriver handles, kind of too bulky. I like Wera better
I don't like them for auto work with oil/grease, but for other things they are pretty good. I'm still looking for a screwdriver with a handle I really like. Maybe I'll try Wera!
So good I picked up a second on sale.
Just remember, you have to pay a $25/year membership fee to have the privilege to "save" any of this money he is talking about, by buying at this discount tool store.
If this was shot unrehearsed it would have been interesting to see the look on his face if by chance he put in the extension in the way it sides thru the head and makes a T-handle.
Don’t forget that if you line up the dot on the ratchet and the dashes on the exterior you can slide the extension halfway through and create a “T” handle
That will have to be another video!
It's SO CUTE!!
Nice setup. It will make me re-examine mine for bloat.
Trust me - my bigger tool bag is the definition of bloat, but I've been amazed at what I can do with just this one.
If your A&P is shopping at Harbor Freight, you need to pay him more!
We love our A&P, but agree with him that Icon is pretty good for the price!
We use these same kind of a tool at the coal mine. Working on the longwall. They are a different brand but same tools
Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍
Thanks! Glad you found it useful.
Ima get it it’s perfect price
For what they are it's a bargain
Nice
Thanks! We have had this one for about 4 years and it has held up pretty well.
my ocd is satisfied
Even with the random black handle boxes mixed with the yellow?
@@ryanb4533 Yup!! Labels cancels that out.
@@ryanb4533 Yeah we couldn't get one brand after awhile and had to switch. It was unfortunate.
That’s actually kind of neat, you can easily grab a whole section instead of accidentally dropping a bin with 70 washers all over the shop floor
We're working on a revised system - stay tuned!
Awesome!
Thanks! They aren't too hard to build.
