OWON HDS160 Oscilloscope Multimeter: Unboxing, Review, and Teardown
The article presents a hands-on unboxing, review, and teardown of the OWON HDS160, a 4½-digit handheld oscilloscope multimeter purchased for 365 RMB. Its main appeal is the built-in 1 MHz oscilloscope that works with standard multimeter test leads, enabling direct voltage or current waveform measurement and automatic detection of the input jack to switch ranges. Key specifications include 60000-count display, DC voltage accuracy of ±(0.05%+5 digits), CAT III 1000 V safety rating, 2.8-inch IPS screen, and a single 18650 battery. Field tests cover USB voltage, AC mains waveform (50 Hz, 328 V peak, 232 V RMS), STM32 board inrush current, and low-power current measurements. The teardown reveals an HC32F460PETB MCU, HY3131 multimeter front-end, MAX6006AESA voltage reference, SGM41511 charger, GD25Q128ESIG flash memory, and infrared components for jack detection. The author notes a slightly crooked Type-C port and a clock that resets when the battery is removed. Readers gain insight into the device’s capabilities, component choices, internal construction, and practical limitations, useful for evaluating its suitability for low-frequency electrical and embedded debugging tasks.

BenQ RD280U Review: 28" 4K 3:2 Professional Programming Monitor
The BenQ RD280U is a 28.2-inch 4K programming monitor with a 3:2 aspect ratio, showing about 20% more lines than typical 16:9 displays. It offers dedicated coding modes, KVM switching, 90W USB-C power delivery, and MST daisy-chaining. Hardware low blue light and MoonHalo ambient lighting aim to reduce eye strain. Measured sRGB coverage was 96.2% with average Delta E 2.23, though blue accuracy is limited. The monitor is well-suited for programmers wanting multitasking efficiency, multi-device control, and long-session comfort.

WCH CH224K Fast-Charging Protocol Chip: Function Changed but Model Number Remains Unchanged?
WCH’s CH224K datasheet revision (V1F to V2.1) removed single-resistor voltage configuration, disallowing floating CFG pins for 20V requests. This silently breaks existing designs relying on that method. WCH now recommends CH224A, which supports single-resistor mode but requires a 120kΩ resistor for 20V, complicating direct replacement without extra pads. The article questions whether such functional changes warrant a new model number.
