The HT-03 infrared camera integrates surface temperature measurement and real-time thermal imaging. The traditional inferred thermometer needs to measure every component one by one while it is not necessary for infrared imaging camera, thus saving time. The potential problems may be displayed on color display screen clearly. Moreover, the central point measurement cursor is used to locale quickly and accurately to measure the temperature of the target object. In order to increase the differentiation, the HT-03 is provided with a visible light camera. The thermal images and visible images are stored in the device and can be read through USB. The HT-03 is easy to operate and it is the ideal selection for electric power, electronic manufacturing, industrial inspection and other fields.

KrakenSDR is a phase-coherent software-defined radio with five RTL-SDRs KrakenSDR is a five-channel, RX-only, software-defined radio (SDR) based on the RTL-SDR and designed for phase-coherent applications and experiments. Phase-coherent SDR opens the door to some very interesting applications, including radio direction finding, passive radar, and beam forming. You can also use KrakenSDR as five separate radios. KrakenSDR is an upgraded version of the previous product, KerberosSDR. It provides a fifth receive channel, automatic phase-coherence synchronization capabilities, bias tees, a new RF design with cleaner spectrum, USB Type-C connectors, a heavy-duty enclosure, upgraded open source DAQ and DSP software, and an upgraded Android app for direction finding. RTL-SDR KrakenSDR makes use of five custom RTL-SDR circuits consisting of R820T2 and RTL2832U chips. The RTL-SDR is a well-known, low-cost software-defined radio (SDR), but throw five units together and using them on the same PC will not make them 'phase coherent;' each one will receive signals at a slightly different phase offset from the others. This makes it difficult or impossible to achieve a high degree of precision when measuring relationships between signals that arrive at different antennas. To achieve phase coherence, KrakenSDR drives all five RTL-SDR radios with a single clock source, and contains internal calibration hardware to allow the phase relationship between channels to be measured precisely and corrected for. Additionally, the overall design of KrakenSDR works to ensure phase stability, with care taken in the areas of heat management, driver configuration, power supply, and external-interference mitigation. Features Five-channel, coherent-capable RTL-SDR, all clocked to a single local oscillator Built-in automatic coherence synchronization hardware Automatic coherence synchronization and management via provided Linux software 24 MHz to 1766 MHz tuning Range (standard R820T2 RTL-SDR range, and possibly higher with hacked drivers) 4.5 V bias tee on each port Core DAQ and DSP software is open source and designed to run on a Raspberry Pi 4 Direction-finding software for Android (free for non-commercial use) Applications Physically locating an unknown transmitter of interest (e.g. illegal or interfering broadcasts, noise transmissions, or just as a curiosity) HAM radio experiments such as radio fox hunts or monitoring repeater abuse Tracking assets, wildlife, or domestic animals outside of network coverage through the use of low power beacons Locating emergency beacons for search-and-rescue teams Locating lost ships via VHF radio Passive radar detection of aircraft, boats, and drones Traffic-density monitoring via passive radar Beamforming Interferometry for radio astronomy Specifications Bandwidth 2.56 MHz RX Channels 5 Frequency Range 24-1766 MHz Radio Tuner 5x R820T2 Radio ADC 5x RTL2832U ADC Bit Depth 8-bits Oscillator Stability 1 PPM Typical Power Consumption 5 V/2.2 A (11 W) Enclosure Type Heavy-duty CNC Aluminum Dimensions 177 x 112.3 x 25.9 mm Weight 560 g Included 1x KrakenSDR (fully assembled and installed) with Aluminum enclosure 1x Manual Required USB Type-C cable 5 V/2.4 A USB Type-C power supply Antennas Raspberry Pi 4 (for computing) Android phone/tablet with mobile-hotspot capabilities (with direction finding) Downloads Wiki Android App

Pixel Pump is an open source vacuum pump for manual SMT assembly. It comes with a comfortable pen, a foot pedal, RGB LED buttons, and a variety of features that make hand assembly a lot more fun. It’s the perfect companion for manual SMT soldering applications, from individual prototypes to small production runs. Thoughtful, High-Quality Design Pixel Pump ships with a set of five stainless-steel nozzles in each of five different sizes, with outer diameters ranging from 0.3 mm all the way up to 1.8 mm. With this set, you should be able to pick and place most SMD components, including small 0402 passives, larger parts like inductors and ICs, and just about everything in between. The nozzles are held in place by a Luer lock slip fitting that facilitates quick nozzle changes and broad compatibility with third-party nozzles. The pen itself features a barbed connection for the air hose and incorporates four M8 steel nuts to give it some heft and to enable magnetic attachment to Pixel Pump. Tactile silicone buttons with RGB backlighting offer full control over the unit. You can change operation modes, switch between high- and low-power settings, or activate reverse mode to clean your nozzle. The buttons also allow you to configure things like vacuum power and LED brightness. Pixel Pump has a pressure-relief valve that dumps vacuum to ensure that your part gets released quickly when you release the foot pedal. Optionally, you can configure that valve to switch from suction mode to pressure mode, which quickly and easily cleans the nozzle in case you have accidentally sucked in debris like solder paste. A sintered air filter protects the vacuum pump and valves from debris that might otherwise be sucked into the system. It is accessible from the outside and can easily be cleaned and reused. A Perfect Companion For Prototype Boards & Small-Scale Manufacturing Pixel Pump was designed primarily for individuals and organizations that manufacture one-off prototypes, but it’s also well suited for small production runs. It’s super easy to use and is actually faster than an automated pick-and-place machine for smaller batch sizes, especially when combined with SMD Magazines. Pixel Pump is the perfect companion for hobbyists and professionals who love making their own PCBs. Features Comfortable pen that accommodates various vacuum nozzles Small, flexible, heat-resistant silicone hose that connects the pen to Pixel Pump Magnetic base for the pen Strong, adjustable vacuum, perfect for picking small and large components alike Tactile, silicone RGB-button interface Foot pedal for triggering the pump Adjustable high/low power settings Adjustable LED brightness Reverse mode, which creates pressure instead of suction to clean nozzles Vacuum relief valve for quick depressurization to drop parts more quickly Easy software updates via USB Type-C Compact design that respects the limited surface area of your workbench Downloads 3D STL Files Firmware Mainboard Schematics UI Board Schematics Motor Controller Schematics
