electronics
- Siglent SDS-1202X-E 2-channel Oscilloscope: $350
- USB Logic Analyzer, $14
- Works in Saleae Logic, which is the most important part of their package for me. Most of the time I don't need the super high sample rates, analog channels, or independent per-channel grounds, but being able to write an HLA is great.
- TS-80 USB-C powered soldering
iron
- At the Media Lab I use a Pinecil at my desk — quite happy with both
- AmScope SE305 binocular microscope
- Cheap lab power supply
3d-print
- Creality Ender 3

compute
- Modern desktop: 12700KF, 64GB DDR5, 3080Ti. Dual boots Windows 10 and NixOS — I spend most of my time in Windows.
- Older desktop: 4770, 16GB DDR4 — runs NixOS, more of a dedicated lab pc
