This adorable little board will come in very handy whenever you need a small amount of 5V power. It's the size of a linear regulator, but it's actually a mini-booster! Input 3V on ...

Wouldn't the screen & sensors of the device actually increase the power draw? Or would it be a trivial amount?

You only need to coat stuff in gold that is not conductive. You can also use things like carbon when you need something with a lower atomic number to do x ray analysis.

willow pollen Nov 9, 2017, 2:37 AM

#

or cat-astopropies

odd stream Nov 9, 2017, 2:37 AM

#

The BME680 will replace 3 sensors in my current design (temp/rh, pressure, gas). The BME280 would have replaced 2 with 1.

#

@waxen thistle I'm definitely going to be looking tat the BME680 as an all in one solution.

@river peak she's not great with the keyboard but she's definitely into the mouse

odd stream Nov 9, 2017, 2:39 AM

#

The price goes up with each new sensor, but it's on one part compared to several, so net win. Also simpler board layout.

waxen thistle Nov 9, 2017, 2:40 AM

#

@odd stream at the moment, i don't have any specific needs, but I'd be looking for a decent temp/humidity sensor. Having it analyze air quality is a nice bonus, especially when doing soldering/3d printing, etc

The out-of-box compatibility with CircuitPython is nice too

@waxen thistle If you just need temp/humidity, the Si7021 is great. I've used it in a couple projects, Also, I just skimmed over the BME680 datasheet and it looks solid. I'm looking forward to playing with it for potential use in my smarthome sensor node v2.

Oh. And light is photons.

#

glossy glacier Nov 16, 2017, 2:16 AM

#

Most sems have a chamber camera to make sure you don't hit anything. They use near inferred to not interfer with detectors.

heavy siren Nov 16, 2017, 2:16 AM

#

@glossy glacier Is the signal from the photo-multiplier digital or analog?

glossy glacier Nov 16, 2017, 2:16 AM

#

Analog.

#

It's basically counting individual photons, so very sensitive.

#

Some detectors do use a camera and scintillator though.

heavy siren Nov 16, 2017, 2:18 AM

#

Mono tone I suppose as well. Simple black and white TV, sort of. Digitizing the signal could allow for processing which could provide filtering and various effects.

#

I wonder if that detector is using charge coupled devices, the old CCD tech used back in the day.

glossy glacier Nov 16, 2017, 2:19 AM

#

Like this:)

📎 IMG_20171115_181828.jpg

All of the processing my sem does is analog, but the new ones definitely have a lot of digital stuff.

#

glossy glacier Nov 16, 2017, 2:22 AM

The CCD detectors are for doing very special crystal orientation stuff. It's called EBSD.

@glossy glacier -- thanks for doing what you do!

#

I used to do science demonstrations at a museum using an old JEOL JSM-35, bringing up images live in front of an audience and then talking about the (usually evolutionary) reasons behind the sub-mm structures we could observe.

#

It was a fun show, and I was sad when the instrument had to be retired.

#

One of the things I showed and talked about was, in fact, an incandescent light bulb filament. (But not under power -- hard to do in a small vacuum chamber.)

glossy glacier Nov 16, 2017, 4:19 AM

#

@covert comet It's always sad when one of these things gets retired. I don't personally have many biological samples yet, the drying process is a bit more involved... I am working on a cryo method right now though that should help out with that. I have had a light bulb fillament under my old SEM before, but it was starting to struggle with things at that point. I did recently rebuild it though, and I will be bringing it back up soon.

Bio samples were our bread and butter since we had a gold sputter coater. I did an ant and a bunch of plant samples, some animal and human hair samples.

@glossy glacier Quick Question fer ya...
Could the electron beam be used to build up material sort of like 3D printing with Resin and UV light but with some other material and the beam of electrons???

glossy glacier Nov 16, 2017, 5:09 AM

#

@heavy siren Oh man, can you. Its called Electron Beam Induced Deposition, or EBID. Its really crazy cool, and shcokingly hard to pull off. I dont think I will be able to make my JSM do it due to how the colum works, but it should be posible with the ISI. It will reqire that I add differential pumping, vacuum system telemetry, 3 more vacuum pumps to it, and write the control software, but should be posible.

I don't deal with 7-segment displays all that much. Price & features being considered, how do these measure up to a traditional display?

proven lintel Nov 16, 2017, 9:53 PM

Essentially this is ideal if you want a display that has individually addressed RGB colors with a variable length

eager sapphire Nov 16, 2017, 9:53 PM

#

If you’re targeting a fancy, bright clock or countdown, this is ideal

proven lintel Nov 16, 2017, 9:54 PM

Since they're modular, the reusability is also nice because it can be used if you need a 2 display or 4 display etc
