    Internal case cable/wire fasteners/clamps?

    Thanks for the alternate suggestion. Yes, a Press would be a problem based on the shape of the case they would need to be pressed into. I'm probably just going to use a rounded head hex bolt & nut (now screw) with appropriate size hole and these R-Type clip cable fasteners: Cheers, Rob.

    Internal case cable/wire fasteners/clamps?

    Excellent aircraft solutions article, very informative ... especially in regards to crosstalk. I don't think I need to worry about crosstalk but even if I did, I sadly don't have a $83,000 Scope to check (my Siglent SDS 1104X-E isn't capable). I will be working with PWM so I'll try to keep...

    Internal case cable/wire fasteners/clamps?

    Correct ... case material thickness is 1.03mm ... concerned that is not enough material for press nut teeth to grip case. My other concern is the tool needed to insert those press nuts costs $572. Cheers, Rob.

    Internal case cable/wire fasteners/clamps?

    I have some sleeves for the wires, just need a solid clamp for them. McMaster's push fit nuts is a great suggestion, but if I'm going to drill a hole then I may as well just do the loop and flat head bolt approach. Thanks for all the suggestion, much appreciate! Cheers, Rob.

    Internal case cable/wire fasteners/clamps?

    I was wondering what is a common method to secure wires within a case/cabinet. I was looking at some R-Type Cable Clamps here. But I would need to use bolts fed in from outside of case with nuts, don't want sharp screw tips sticking out the back of my case. Also considered these zip tie...

    Soldering 20 awg solid wire to brass?

    Excellent, what do you usually clean the contact area with? Sandpaper, wire brush? Cheers, Rob.

    Soldering 20 awg solid wire to brass?

    Is it possible with standard 780 Watt soldering gun? I recall reading about using silver solder but that seems to be more for brass tubing. Thoughts? Cheers, Rob.

    Logic Analyzer for USB 1.0-3.0?

    Higher speeds is where I'm most interested as that's the most likely to run into data corruption issues. Agree on the Arduino's but I also have other USB devices I'm needing to check including some audio interfaces (Motu, Prosonus). I'll contact Saleae ... $1000 is about my cap and not in the...

    Logic Analyzer for USB 1.0-3.0?

    Do you know if the Saleae 16 channel I listed above could analyze at USB 2.0/3.0 speeds? It seems the Siglent SLA1016 (or more like the 1104X-E) can't work with USB 2.0/3.0 data speeds. Cheers, Rob.

    Logic Analyzer for USB 1.0-3.0?

    I've a need to analyze USB data: 1. On some of my computers USB data is getting corrupted and/or triggering power cycles on the device (sleep state is disable) 2. I'm working with Arduino boards and would like to check it's USB data I have a Siglent Scope 1104X-E and was considering adding...

    DDM (Digit Digital Multimeter) ... what do I need to know?

    Hi Klaus, Oops, sorry DMM. I actually went ahead and purchased the Siglent 3055 DMM (5.5) as I still need a good basic DMM for other projects. I was however disappointed in the EasyDMM software on the PC side. When connected via LAN and I have the 3055 set to "Fast" mode which is supposed...

    DDM (Digit Digital Multimeter) ... what do I need to know?

    Thanks again, sounds like neither of the DDMs will help, but was interesting to note from some of the video's I watched they do work in the "5.5" realm of accuracy vs. "4-1/2". Doesn't sound like my Siglent 1104X-E scope will be sufficient either. Cheers, Rob.

    DDM (Digit Digital Multimeter) ... what do I need to know?

    Hi Dana, My desired resolution is something better than software monitoring tools that typically cap out at 100ms (10Hz) ... so anything better than 10Hz. Unfortunately I don't know how quickly VRMs can modulate based on CPU load driver (ms, ns, etc.)? I'm trying to capture under/over voltage...

    DDM (Digit Digital Multimeter) ... what do I need to know?

    I have some projects lined up that are PC hardware related (Motherboard and CPU and GPU voltages over time). I'm looking to invest in a good quality DDM that can log voltage data at a fairly high sample rate. The two units I'm looking at are: Siglent SDM3055 5.5 and Siglent SDM3045X 4-1/2 ...

    Looking for project boxes.

    I've been searching for project boxes and have come up empty. Some very closes sizes but they are either just too small internally our just too large. My PCB is 2.5" by 3.7" and height only needs to be about 1-2". I've found a few boxes that will work, but they are larger and cost much more...
