Review: Toolcraft Digital Soldering Station

Review: Toolcraft Digital Soldering Station

Luc Lemmens | December 5, 2019
If I had to choose a soldering station, I’d have a strong preference for the A-brands. It’s not a question of snobbery: in general, I only want to buy tools that I can enjoy using for many years. Quality and reliability are important factors, but the long-term availability of accessories or spare parts also plays an important role for me.
Fed up with boring 7-segment displays?

Review: PeakTech 3440 True Graphics Multimeter

Alfred Rosenkränzer | November 27, 2019
What’s this? A multimeter with a graphic display? That sounds interesting… The PeakTech 3440 can not only display measured values, but also graphs of measured values. It can also act as a kind of ‘low speed oscilloscope’ or even a data logger with a graphics display and storage options.

    Test Driving the Photon UV Resin DLP 3D Printer

    Test Driving the Photon UV Resin DLP 3D Printer

    Clemens Valens | November 20, 2019
    A liquid-resin 3D printer offers much higher resolution than a filament 3D printer. The Photon-S printer from Anycubic we tried out features a layer thickness of the order of 10 microns. Besides being very precise, it's very affordable as well.

    PCBite: Probes that hold themselves

    Denis Meyer | November 14, 2019
    A new test of PCBite filmed by Roger, an Elektor reader who checks if this accessory lives up to its promises. Does it give reliable, hands-free measurements without mechanical linkage, held firmly in place by gooseneck arms? Do the befits of this accessory justify investing in it? The answer to these questions is set out in this video from Kainka Labs.
