    If you have a computer/laptop handy you can make your own O-scope using the A/D from your sound card. I've made one and I think it probably works better than one of these cheapy ones. Plus you can easily make it into a spectrum analyzer as well.

    @admoseremic: Sampling rate on audio cards are 44/48Khz max (probably 96Khz for HD audio). This puppy runs at 2Mhz.

    it'd be nice to compare to a full-size guy and see how they compare as far as accuracy.

    @m-unit: I don't get what people are talking about accuracy. It's mentioned on the specs:


    100mV/Div - 5V/Div, vertical

    5μs/Div - 10m(minute)/Div, horizontal

    @ripfire: That's resolution not accuracy, moron.

    @rocketgeek: In my book, accuracy is as good as the graticules in a division. Hence, your accuracy is as good as your resolution.

    But the question is, how is the timing? I can build one of these with a KS0108 LCD and a PIC with an analog input...


    Neat, but I would question the accuracy of the timing.

    @xbrav: Accuracy of timing? It's right there: 5μs/Div - 10m(minute)/Div

    Crap! I already have one in my kit. This could have saved me some bucks. Where were you when I had to put my kit together for my Tech Class? Oh well; I paid extra for a pink Static Guard Bracelet too.

    Did you find that on the Della Website? Did you get it with the coordinating combination netbook/makeup case?
