DIY Oscilloscope Kit

Previously we talked about Oscilloscope. Any DIY oscilloscope kit is quite challenging and also fun to build. Question is whether they worth buying & what types of kits are available. The other way of building DIY oscilloscope is avoiding these ready to use kits and assemble ownself. Second type is not discussed in this article.

 

DIY Oscilloscope Kit : Basics

 

Most of these oscilloscope are not of professional grade and not useful without an enclosure, but the price they are being sold is interesting. The components and PCB are supplied in the kits and components are SMD components not through hole technology components. It is quite challenging to solder them. We recommend good quality kit to anyone who are advanced enough around soldering SMD components. The manufacturers usually have user forums for troubleshooting and support issues. They usually have good build instructions. The finished oscilloscopes works good, but not closer to many need.
