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.
