Trying to debug some minor issues in my ActivityBoard project. The Rigol really is a big help! A great way to check the interrupts I’m trying to handle.

Analyzing Hobby Motors with an Oscilloscope

We always like finding new excuses reasons to use our test equipment, so we couldn’t help but be intrigued by this tip from [Joe Mosfet]. He uses the ever-popular Rigol DS1054Z to demonstrate the differences between a handful of brushless motors when rotated by his handheld drill at a constant RPM. Not only is he able to identify a blown motor, but it allows him to visualize their specifications which can otherwise seem a bit mystifying. One wire from each motor is used as the ground, and channels one and two are connected to the remaining wires. Despite the DS1054Z …read more http://pje.fyi/QGhj9M
