Superprobe Hall of Fame

Many people have constructed Superprobes and sent us these pictures.

"my name is minhdt, i live in Vietnam, I want to say thanks for useful tool . my super prob is make from two plastic of broken modem and this is my results"

Bob Alexander did his Superprobe in a very nice wooden case. See his website for this and other very interesting projects.

"Thank you for share such an excellent project

Best regards,

Paolo Bartolucci

Montevideo - Uruguay"

Volker Pohlers created this version. Sehr Gut!

Check out his webpage for details.

"I just built a Superprobe and finished it yesterday, mine is based on the Spanish design from Sr. Heli Tejedor, as I wanted the servo driver and servo controller test functions. I didn't use the PNP transistors in the design as the display is plenty bright, all that was required then was to undefine the invert anodes line in Heli's source code, by simply commenting it out."

"I've finally got round to building one, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I've built it into an old multimeter enclosure, and it's turned out quite slick."

"My name is Stefan Hällbo, i live in Sweden. Just wanted to say thanks for a very useful and fun project. My superprobe is made of some alu-profile, POM-plastic and a strip of veroboard. Everything soldered together on the veroboard backside with thin tefzel wire. Works great! :-)"

"I made the longer pencil type first, and since I happened to the needed parts in my junk box, I made a second one in the altoids tin, it is a 'curiously stronger probe' :D The first one uses power from the circuit under test, but I do like the battery powered one best."

"Thanks again for sharing one of the best designs I have used in a long time. I hope to see my probes in your gallery. If someone wants me to build one for them, feel free to give them my email address."

Yanick Deguise did his design in a Pac-Tec enclosure. The unit is powered with a 9 volt battery inside.

Robert Gehrman of St. Paul, Minnesota built this unit. "...my pushbuttons are on the bottom side, and I added a 9v batt power option. The body is a RadioShack box and I scrounged the LED's from my junk pile. The probe tip is a steel nail hot-glued into a ballpoint pen casing."

Vlad Larionov produced this unit with a custom circuit board.

You can download his entire development package HERE.

Rico Geschäftlich sent in these photos of his Superprobe.

He did his own circuit board to fit the case, and added a rechargable battery.

"I built one of your super probes. Man is it great! Thanks for such a cool project."

Chris Laskey made this one in a case like ours.

Don Solomon produced his superprobe in a reading glasses case.

Imrich Konkol did a very nice job on this one and translated it into Slovak. He also added some to the design. See his Webpage.

Mark Pepper did his own circuit board design.

It makes a very tidy package.

Bill Sherman made his own PCB and built his unit in a Hammond box.

He also has a great robotics site - http://home.comcast.net/~botronics/robots.html

Here is another improved version of the Super Probe. The webpage is available in Spanish.

"My name is Peter Veres.I'm 16 years old, and I live in Hungary. I've built the superprobe,and i really like it! Here are pictures about it. I used smd resistors, and i found an smd crystal in an old cd rom, so my superprobe is very small. The display is from an old fax (the only thing i bought is the PIC)."

Nice job Peter!

(Here is one I found just googling around. This guy has a ton of projects - mostly for ham radio. Check out his website.)

Zach Nahum did his entirely on a protoboard. He uses it mostly for the inductance measurement function.
