Helping out a Picogroup member.
Mar 30^th, 2021 at 12:38pm

Good afternoon All,

This week I learned about a Picogroup member that had their scope kit stolen from them a while back. Since then they have come close to being able to replace what was taken only for life to get in the way again.

I have a refurbished 4423 that I would like to get into this person's hands. After exchanging emails I'm told this person already has attenuators, a homemade pressure transducer and some other accessories.

I'm posting about this for a couple reasons.

1. With the permission of the donators to the old scholarship fund I would like to use some of the $$ to cover shipping expenses and possibly some small accessories. I will be reaching out to these people directly via e-mail tomorrow.

2. Do you have some old test gear that you don't use any more that you would be willing to donate to the cause?

What I have collected so far

Used 4423 scope
Used 20/60A current clamp

What would be nice to add to the kit.

High current clamp maybe a 600A model?
Basic test leads.

Is there anything else you think we should add?

Every scope has a serial number which in the event of an issue is transmitted to Pico. Odd that Pico were not willing to help locate my scope back then , I assume the same applies in this case.

Reply #3 - Apr 3^rd, 2021 at 2:52pm The member's screen name is K-Mech. I sent the scope and a used low current clamp without the use of scholarship funds. Soon K-Mech will have a Pico to use again.

If you would like to purchase something for another member I would be happy to ship it to them on your behalf.

As for donations, I don't have anything setup separate from the scholarship fund at this time.

Reply #7 - Apr 7^th, 2021 at 5:11am Thank you Buckbee for your generosity in sending K-Mech some test leads and probes to round out a picoscope kit. I am certain it will be appreciated and put to good use.

Hello guys. I'd like to step in here and thank you guys for your generosity. I'm humbled to be in this group. You are great men, and in a world where men are consistently put down, I'm proud to be a part of such a group. Autonerdz has changed my life, and I hope to have an opportunity where I can give back to the community.

Thanks again.

Mine as well!

Mine too...never been the same since meeting Spence.

They tell me that if I continue Psychotherapy that it is possible I may recover, but every time I log in to therapy the fucking rooster crows and Tom posts the following day about muting the microphones, so it is difficult to attend and when I do Spence is there.

One ting I have learnt though is that there is nothing in life that cannot be changed into an electrical signal and viewed on a scope.

Think I might just go and overdose on Vegemite.

We should be thanking you. You too are a part of make the fabric that makes this place what it is. Keep doing what you do and sharing your stories to add to the others. I for one enjoyed seeing how you tackled the last one.
