After watching the work on ThunderScope and ngscopeclient on mastodon over the months/years, my work has come around to a cycle of hardware development and I was inspired to finally request that my employer #Shure purchase a Thunderscope for me. They immediately gave me permission. I now just have to figure out how to actually do that on the company dime.
I am such a cheapskate, I have been using a 1998 era TDS220 that I borrowed from a friend in 2020 as my scope.
I have approval. I also found my corporate credit card in the "safe place" that I put it.
To find it, I practiced my hobby for a bit: "looking for lost tools." :-)
You should be super proud of this! I have "go from project to useful tool... people buy to do real work" on my bucket list.
For now, I'm excited to share your joy!

That's one way to do the hobby!
I have numerous chargers for my daughter's camera for this reason. But they are currently sitting on top of the bookshelf at the top of the stairs. If I find a place for things like that and actually put them there, I wouldn't be maximizing my time doing my hobby. :-)
@oscherler @aleksorsist @azonenberg In this case, I psyched myself up to spend the whole day cleaning up my lab space. I was pretty sure I had left the credit card on my desk.
Unfortunately I found it right away sitting under my monitor. So my desk remains a giant mess.
@poleguy Question - is Shure or othe wireless mic cos looking at the new 6ghz wifi bands? I remember working at a AV house in the 90's and the UHF bands for wireless mics where always a pain. Especially when racking up a dozen to be used at once. I don't know if the industry has advanced much since then.
Have you seen NXP's new tri band wifi chip with a SDIO interface?

Tired of slow speeds, constant buffering and lag while streaming your favorite shows? That’s often due to multiple devices sharing the same Wi-Fi band or competing for bandwidth causing delays and packet loss. Well, not anymore. With Tri-band and Wi-Fi 6E at its core, the IW693 SoC eliminates performance bottlenecks, giving your next development journey a powerful head start.
@0h00000000 The pro mic industry is in lots of bands and using lots of modulation schemes... The new stuff is generally digital. UHF has the nest RF propogation and loss characteristics, and with receivers networked, transmitters with rf control channels, and rf spectrum managers, higher density packing due to better IM performance, selectivity, etc. it is a lot different than the 90s.
I can't leak unannounced product info, so won't comment on 6GHz WiFi specific plans... :-)
