FeelElec FY6900 60MHz Dual Channel DDS Function Arbitrary Waveform Signal Generator 60MHz

Tired of shaky tiny PCBs for injecting signals for filter design, I looked into banggood offers for function generators, and did find the Feeletch FY6900 up to 60MHz Dual Channel DDS Function Arbitrary Waveform Signal Generator.

I love the lab form factor which fits well to my whole desktop setup of electronic devices and tools.

Fantastic to quickly scan through audio circuits, as well as tuning RC receivers.

Riden RD6006-W Power Supply

I was impressed by the latest chinese hardware I bought, build quality is pretty good, and the features are unmatched with our european products.

So I decided to buy a new lab power supply, and no longer use my old Voltcraft PS 303 Pro.

Further I could not resist to also add the add on WiFi module to have complete AppControl via my iPad to the powersupply.
Of course the screen and keymatrix is already great but you have to move with the flow you know 😀

Upgrade for my Yamaha Drums

Today I upgraded my DTX 550K drumset with a new drum synth module the DTX502 instead of the old DTX500.
It offers more zones for some channels, MIDI via USB instead of the outdated 5pol DIN and fresh training songs.



Further I bought another XP70 with soft mesh and another KU100 pedal.


Sorry Alexey still no double bass action, I do use it as a china 😀
