This 900 MHz radio version can be used for either 868 MHz or 915 MHz transmission/reception – the exact radio frequency is determined when you load the software since it can be tuned around dynamically.
At the Feather 32u4's heart is at ATmega32u4 clocked at 8 MHz and at 3.3 V logic. This chip has 32 K of flash and 2 K of RAM, with built in USB so not only does it have a USB-to-Serial program & debug capability built in with no need for an FTDI-like chip, it can also act like a mouse, keyboard, USB MIDI device, etc.
To make it easy to use for portable projects, we added a connector for any 3.7 V Lithium polymer batteries and built in battery charging. You don't need a battery, it will run just fine straight from the micro USB connector. But, if you do have a battery, you can take it on the go, then plug in the USB to recharge. The Feather will automatically switch over to USB power when its available. We also tied the battery thru a divider to an analog pin, so you can measure and monitor the battery voltage to detect when you need a recharge.

The Feather 32u4 Radio uses the extra space left over to add an RFM69HCW 868/915 MHz radio module. These radios are not good for transmitting audio or video, but they do work quite well for small data packet transmission when you ned more range than 2.4 GHz (BT, BLE, WiFi, ZigBee)

Packet radio with ready-to-go Arduino libraries
Uses the license-free ISM band ('European ISM' @ 868 MHz or 'American ISM' @ 915 MHz)
+13 to +20 dBm up to 100 mW Power Output Capability (power output selectable in software)
50 mA (+13 dBm) to 150 mA (+20 dBm) current draw for transmissions
Range of approx. 350 meters, depending on obstructions, frequency, antenna and power output
Create multipoint networks with individual node addresses
Encrypted packet engine with AES-128
Simple wire antenna or spot for uFL connector
Comes fully assembled and tested, with a USB bootloader that lets you quickly use it with the Arduino IDE. Headrs are also included so you can solder it in and plug into a solderless breadboard. You will need to cut and solder on a small piece of wire (any solid or stranded core is fine) in order to create your antenna.
Lipoly battery and USB cable not included.

The ZD-915 is a digital desoldering station with ESD protection and digital display of both the actual and set value on an LCD screen. This desoldering station has high power in a compact and robust housing and makes desoldering easy, because it can be operated with one hand.
The ZD-915 features a soldering gun that houses a filter that catches any sucked material, so you only need to replace the filters to continue. There is also a temperature sensor in the tip so that temperature fluctuations can be quickly absorbed.
Features
The temperature is easily adjusted by simple up/down buttons.
140 W temperature controlled soldering station with adjustable range from 160°C to 480°C.
The desoldering station is designed for lead free desoldering specially.
The side of the station features a typical holder with sponge.

UNI-T UPO1202CS is a multifunctional, low-cost 2-channel digital phosphor oscilloscope with 200 MHz bandwidth and 1 GSa/s sampling rate. It can be widely used in the fields of electronic and electrical design, debugging, education and industrial design.
UPO1000CS series adopts parallel digital signal processing technology, which greatly improves the data processing speed and waveform capture rate. The original Ultra Phosphor technology can present the cumulative effect of the tested signal as a multi-layered afterglow. Compared with traditional digital storage oscilloscopes, the persistence of digital phosphor oscilloscopes can present three-dimensional waveform data of amplitude, time and signal intensity. Fast Acquire technology can accurately capture abnormal events such as video, jitter, noise and runt signals.
