Random Garage Box Find: HP 545A Logic Probes (Vintage). Verified 2 HP545A logic probes are both working (although have only one complete probe tip - second is broken off). Being from the mid-70โ€™s, not surprised that they use a small light bulb for the main logic indicator up at the tip. These are a little better than the newer Tandy logic probe kept in the prototyping box. The pair of HP545โ€™s are headed to a local Chicagoland ham-fest next month. #TestEquipment #Electronics #LogicProbe
I wrote a very stupid and ugly #z80 #assembly to try it (I'm sure it is filled of errors and I will need a lot of debugging with the #logicprobe), but I could not write it to the #EEPROM . The #minipro errors out while checking the first byte after writing it. That's strange, because I'm using the same programmer and the same eeprom chip as before, and always worked. But in the meanwhile I changed computer, operating system and USB cable, so... troubleshooting time! Yay! ๐Ÿ™„

My new #soldering corner, almost finished setting it up. There will be another table right underneath the roof window on the right, where the final spot for the soldering station will be, so that the fumes get extracted better. But I had to give it a try, after so long no place for my hobby. A very old logic probe kit. I'll replace the LEDs with brighter ones, and the tip needs improvement. But I'm quite satisfied with my work and it was fun.
