Mr Carlson's Super ProbeDIY PCB Assembly Kit (Version MK3) Two SMD PCBs More Parts & SparesCNC Machined SS Probe Body Kit (Speaker, Battery & Amp Case Not Included!)As buyer feedback attests, this is an advanced skill build. As seen on YouTube and commented on on many other sites, Paul Carlson designed a very useful non-contact very high gain electronic probe for investigating just about any kind of electrical signal from audio to RF. The design is well proven and open-sourced. There are also several open-source PCB designs for the probe and amplifier, but most of them are SMD designs. This is likely the primary barrier to building a one-off implementation of this design. To address this, we used an open-source version of the PCB design by Yannick99 at www.instructables.com. These 2 PCBs are well designed and reliable, and used in many DIY probes. Anyone interested in building the probe should first review: Mr Carlson's YouTube video @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVkJqqZroN0 Yannick99 @ https://www.instructables.com/Carlsons-Super-Probe/Web search for many other reviews and assembly hints. Here is a great UT video of Carlson using the SuperProbe to locate a noisy component inside a complex transceiver. He makes it seem so easy, and with the SuperProbe it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiK1BD7HILo The KitThis kit includes the main PCBs, all SMD parts and most of the support parts. There are other components needed to construct a complete probe and amplifier. The kit includes all of the through-hole and SMD components to assemble the PCBs as well as the 2 pots (with knobs) used in the amplifier and a stereo 3.5mm jack & plug, power switch & power LED. It DOES NOT include an amplifier case, batteries or speaker. The Stainless Steel ProbeThis kit includes everything needed to house the probe PCB in a metal housing. SS Probe Part List The following components are used in the SS probe body. 1. Machined stainless steel telescoping probe body 2. Machined acetyl PCB carrier 3. Copper adhesive grounding tape 4. 3 #0-80 x 1/8" PCB mounting screws 5. 1 #4-40 x 1/4" carrier screw 6. 3" x 50 ohm coaxial probe wire 7. Heat shrink tube to optionally insulate the metal probe The AssemblyWhile there are a few through-hole & panel mounted components, all of the remaining parts are 0805/1206 SMD parts. Soldering such components requires specific equipment, soldering tools, solder, tweezers, optics, skill and patience. Follow the included instructions in detail. Schematic details are included and are identical to the original design. Some of the listing photos show a particular amplifier implementation in a very compact package. Such compactness is not necessary, but demonstrates what can be achieved.
