Papyrus would be on the super special upgrade model. 😉😉

I built a website that details everything from building, to calibration, to basic uses. Here's the calibration wizard tutorial: https://futracer.com/curve-tracer/calib ... on-wizard/

Thanks,

Looks real nice.

A few years back I built one of these:

You can find my example build among those posted as built kits.

Me too (3+). My terrible experience between the quality of his hardware/firmware/personality led to the creation of this one. 😉

Gotcha. Sorry you had issues, I really didn't, but you're way ahead of me. I think I'll take a close look at yours. It looks excellent and very reasonably priced.

I have other people coming from a uT background also, and they LOVE the differences/improvements in this.

Regarding pricing, keep in mind that you need to supply your own parts. There are BOMs on the futracer.com site to help get a good idea of the cost.

I'm also probably going to order some more enclosure sets soon too for people interested in making their own testers, without having to do any metalwork.
