1Mhz o-scope is not worth anything. this is a toy.

@BrentBXR It is a truly nice troubleshooting device that you can build yourself. It is not a toy.

[BrentBXR]

@patrickikis how is this not a toy?

@BrentBXR

Unless you're trying to measure RF, this is a fantastic and inexpensive troubleshooting device that can run off of a 9v battery. A portable troubleshooting device. While I have a larger scope in my lab, I often use this when working in the garage. I can measure ultrasonic signals, I2C, and audio signals perfectly with this device. A "toy" can't do those things.

@patrickikis Ultrasonic? I2c? those are digital? so you think your using this as a logic analyzer.. I think you want a logic analyzer not a o-scope. An o-scope is not for analyzing a digital signal, o-scope is for analog signals.. This is NOT worth the cost. as it is usless. If you want to buy a crappy o-scope just get a DSO, its an open source o-scope; i dont own one, but if you want to waste money; thats a better choice in wasting your money.

Now you've turned the argument around, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

In regards to measuring I2C timing parameters decoding, this scope won't be of much help. However, a logic analyser isn't going to help you measure timing parameters at different voltage thresholds. As well, another example would be the MIPI serial interface. Good luck measuring all of the timing parameters and differential voltage mismatches with a logic analyser.

@BrentBXR

As well, ultrasonic is a frequency range. And it is analog, not digital. You can send an ultrasonic frequency digitally if you want, but is is going to be received in sinusoidal form (analog). Do you think that bats send out digital signals? Logic analysers would be completely useless for measuring ultrasonic signals. You can't measure set-up and hold times with a logic analyser. You can't measure rise and fall times of a digital signal with a logic analyser.

Dude great videos, and website.

[BrentBXR]

@patrickikis Your right; I apologize I wasn't thinking correctly. Still its not an appropriate test/measurement device. Dont kid yourself.

Would this type of kit work for testing automotive components or doing ignition or sensor waveforms
