Overview
The complete solution for holding and measuring your circuit board.
PCBite is the perfect tool for handling your PCB during the design process. Powerful magnets combined with a stainless steel base plate provide flexibility, mobility and user-friendliness. The holder can easily be relocated to deal with printed circuit boards of different shapes and sizes. The probe is sturdy yet flexible and can be used for immediate measurements or totally hands-free operations with your multimeter or another preferred tool.
It comes with the great PCBite holders, which are very useful to fasten a PCB for soldering, rework or analysis.The metal plate has a mirror finish which helps to see the bottom part of the board you're working on. The probes come with a very precise gold needle tip. The tip contains a spring like a pogo pin, as a result, it keeps an equal amount of pressure on the board and does not move if there are vibrations or if you carefully move the board around.
With each probe, there is also a different needle with a crown tip. This alternative tip is more like a really tiny fork to be placed on small wires and pins. Additionally, there are two pin headers attached to the probe, which makes it very easy to connect them to any kind of equipment.

"But can it run Doom?" is more than just a joke in the tech world. It is also a decent litmus test for the computing power of hardware. That test isn't very relevant for modern computers, but it is still worth asking when discussing microcontrollers. Microcontrollers vary in dramatically in processing power and memory, with models to suit every application. But if you have an Arduino Nano ESP32 board, you can run Doom as Naveen Kumar has proven. The Nano ESP32 is a small IoT development board for the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, featuring Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity. It also has a relatively high clock speed and quite a lot of memory: 240MHz and 512kB SRAM, respectively. That still isn't enough to meet the requirements of the original Doom release, which needed a lot more RAM. But Kumar demonstrates the use of an MCU-friendly port that runs well on this more limited hardware. Want to give it a try yourself? You'll need the Nano ESP32, an Adafruit 2.8" TFT LCD shield, an M5Stack joystick, a Seeed Studio Grove dual button module, a breadboard, and some jumper wires to create a simple handheld console. You'll have to compile and flash the Retro-Go firmware, which was designed specifically for running games like Doom on ESP32-based devices. You can then load the specialized WAD (Where's All the Data) files. Kumar reports an average frame rate at a 320×240 resolution, which is very playable.
