It's annoying when you solder a chip the wrong way
Comment from : Rich_Lex

hell nah i aint paying 20 for an oscilloscope (i found a 50 year old one in the junkyard)
Comment from : anonimus

I have the same oscilloscope and i have an issue where it constantly displays a voltage even when the nodes aren't attached to anything Does anybody know how to fix that?

You are the man when it comes to DIY vs store bought

The DSO138 is cheap and nasty, but I was able to figure out the clock speed of an old lcd game with it!
Comment from : qwerty keyboard

Hey! Can you look at DLO-138? It's basically a DIY upgrade you can do on DSO-138 It adds a second channel as well!
Comment from : Mohammed Ayaz Quadri

😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don't know how to do SMD soldering But I will find a one with THT compements
Comment from : Avidiy (official)

hello sir i have a question it is good to check microprocessors Clock signals??
Comment from : Uzair Ahmed

I do like the looks of these ELV PSUs like the DPS5315 or the single variant, but it seems to be a switching PSU?
Comment from : Jakob

Nah fck that the chances of me messing this up are waaaaay to high Not gonna waste my 20 dollars lmao
Comment from : LNZ

I have a tiny old CRT I've bought from a pawn shop for $10 and some analog stuff that's worth $5 and it works well enough for my use

Comment from : Techno Fix

I can’t seem to find these anymore without the SMDs pre-mounted My gf got me a USB microscope for an anniversary present, and I wanted to give it a try
Comment from : BunnyBread

I ordered one of those cheap kit, which turned out to be a fake and stopped working after firmware uprgrade
Comment from : Szabolcs Kiss

We want that portable oscilloscope project! Sounds ridiculously epic! Any newer kits that might make this work better in 2022?
Comment from : Anastasis Zaro

i found myself an old HAMEG HM 307 (1st revision so no curve tracer :/ ) for only 25 bucks, it has worked wonderfully so far and is fully functionnal, got a some rust on the transformer and the metal chassis but it doesn't seem to carebrbrThese old analog scopes are great if you can get one for cheap, not too old though, tube-based ones are kind of a pain to fix if they're broken

I'm definitely getting one!
Comment from : Calthecool

Soldering like that produces cold joints You need to use flux! Totally rookie mistake
Comment from : Keith B

Please anyone answer me, can i travel with my oscilloscope in international flights?
Comment from : sundar

Hello great; using this scope can I measure the pure sine wave of ac mains 230v by connecting 10x probe please tell by connecting 10x probe 230v converts to 23v????
Comment from : LETS FIX !T

I bought a Tektronix 2213 60Mhz two channel scope for 30 bucks, was listed "not working, for parts" Unpacked it worked perfect on both channels
Comment from : yauwohn

Can it used to check xtal / crystal 27mhz?
Comment from : Whooosh me if you gay

If any possibilities for two channel How could I display voltage and current signal simultaneously ?
Comment from : Avinash Maurya

Measuring frequency over 200kHz using 20$ kid is the real pain in the ass

Genuis i know!
Comment from : Robo Bug

Hi! Thx for the info useful review! What's your opinion about the Openscope MZ from Digilent? It would be worth?
Comment from : Peter Hans Dohmer

Funny stuff, I bought the preasembled kit and it came with full instructions
Comment from : IG-88r

Greatscoot! Can u see like 200 volts ac or it just for low voltage
Comment from : Vytautas Valikonis

Analog oscilloscope the winner)
Comment from : STALKER from Voronezh

First of all those little kits are nothing much more than a toy, secondly they are way over priced for what they are and thirdly anyone who tries using one of those TOYs doing anything useful will be very disappointed and/or destroying other electronics
Comment from : super cute and nice

Hey Scott 🖐brCan i use this oscilioskope to check amplifier output for cliping?Great video as always
Comment from : Skala55

Your boot up turned out nice and clean Mine immediately turns into screaming chaos as if I'm reading signals from everywhere on the planet at once
Comment from : Brandon Trumbo

In case anyone needs this, if you actually read this thing's manual, most values will be returned to their default position if you highlight them and hold ok for 2 seconds, doing that on the time measurement turns off the readout
Comment from : Razvii

can i use this oscilloscope to measure my house power waveform?
Comment from : themis k

Maybe next video modifying this oscilloscope
Comment from : Svetlana Pavlović

Can we Measure RF Power with this Kit?
Comment from : Bandi FPV

Those are ok but for me not worth the time and work for diy since they come completed for 30 € (in 2020)
Comment from : snorrevonflake

Is it a Knipex cutter?brThose are great!
Comment from : MrPiachu92

It would be really great to see you do a similar review on the Espotek Labrador
Comment from : Radioklahoma

Could you please give me any suggestions for a good affordable digital Oscilloscope? Any brand is doesn't matter to me as long as it is realible
Comment from : Maple Five

Wow, soldering all that with a blunt tip I feel for you I have all the tips and air attachments you could imagine But doing that by hand with a blunt tip must have been so annoying
Comment from : sandphoenix

it is a great kind work ! thanks
Comment from : habtamu sium

Which oscilloscope do you recommend for $ 100/150 on ebay or amazon?
Comment from : Pablo Olivare

someone who had used this oscilloscope with audio? it is recomended ?
Comment from : dead doomed

I wished to have have one, but i cannot afford one, thirdworld things xD
Comment from : BLCV

The cheap $20 ones are amusing to build, I bought several even though I have a 1054Z Great projects for kids
Comment from : Robin Sattahip

I saw your six battery pack, Are they in parallel?brI thought you couldn't do thatbrDo you have a video about that? I clicked on the video but is just get paused
Comment from : RDCST

Any hand held oscilloscope with high sampling frequency eg:500mhz/s
Comment from : Dr Nishanth Raja

I'll take any and all non used equipment in your lab off your hands
Comment from : JVon

Its faster to add solder to only one pad on every component, i managed to solder this whole PCB in 20min
Comment from : Hugoslav

I like it but My hand is not steady especialy my left hand
Comment from : キーロハヤシ

its better to get a hantek usb osciloscope
Comment from : minu sharma

eh, not impressed My Rigol paid for itself by my use in consulting I like my 32 bit USB logic analyzer, but the key to that was it offers more bits than standalone units and displays on a standard PC I think a USB scope might we worthwhile because of using the PC display There was even a USB single probe PC scope that was basically the size of a probebrBy the way, there are several of these stand alone units with cases now
Comment from : Scott Franco

Found the DSO 150 much better to assemble, repair & easy to operate with it's easy push buttons & rotary dial Tried the DSO 138, assembled it, worked for a while, repaired it, replaced the 10 uH inductor, but found 9v+ reg kept overheating Gave up in the end to get the DSO 150 instead, which is suitable for most projects & repairs One day hope to afford a proper scopeUsing the scope for power supplies, inverter, motor control & help with learning the Arduino UNO programmer Blind without a scope I don't like soldering smd's
Comment from : nottingtohide

Can you even read resistor color code?
Comment from : Trew Mika

I tried connecting my mp3 music player headphone output to this cro but am not getting any reading Just the noise you see when not connected to anything I have the gnd connected Why? Is the signal too low a voltage?
Comment from : David Ujcic

wondering if this would be a good oscilloscope for my microkorg synth
Comment from : Broseph Thomas

you can also try some usb Oscilloscope
Comment from : Zhang LongQi

Jesus, worse soldering ever
Comment from : Robert Endl

I bought the updated, Kuman brand of this oscilloscope kit from amazon $40 for kit plus shell This was the version with SMD components pre-mounted It comes with a nice manual and includes several diagnostic/troubleshooting guides in case you get lost along the way It was a nice project for me and the updated kit has a good layout and is pretty easy to use As a hobbyist I'm happy with it; I don't need the $300 investment at this stage
Comment from : Joshua Thomas

I just come by for the "and I vill zee yuu next time!"brThat alone is worth a thumbs up! 😉

Hey that’s the oscilloscope I found in a dumpster
Comment from : CPTbutters

Scott you are great guy, smart and creativeWe all appreciate your input in our community knowledge and educationbut your soldering skills are so terrible god save us
Comment from : Vitali Bazilevschi

It's quite interesting to see, that your DIY oscilloscope did work with a frequency above 100kHz, even beyond Because my exact same oscilloscope kit refuses to even show frequency above 20kHz
Comment from : MARKYS

For a few dollars more, you can get a Pico Scope that connects to your laptop or pc USB port The Pico software is excellent,and the Pico Scope itself is compact and very well behaved I’m not affiliated, just an electronics hobbyist sharing my experience with inexpensive scopes
Comment from : Gina Miller

can this be used on a car to check cam position sensor voltage and signal wire to computer?

I have been repairing cellphones, I sometimes I need to see if some crystal are producing correct oscillation and PuMic, processor as well But spending $25 bucks for a toy is not my cup of tea, Some of you find out this worth for cellphone repair? Can I read at least 100Mhz?
Comment from : Ed Diaz

i missed the memo where the dollar sign is now put AFTER the digits
Comment from : Barnaby Wilde

Thanks again for showing me more things I have to run out and buy A little mini scope like that, with all your basic functions, you can stick in your pocket? That's pretty sweet

Comment from : martin audio

Sir Mini oscilloscope is better or not better
Comment from : martin audio

Trigger and trigger stability is 80 of an Oscilloscope, sufficient bandwidth is another 15 the remaining features is 5brTektronix became king because of their trigger circuit - don't wast your money on this crap, go buy an old $50 Tektronix on eBay - you are much better of :-)brI have owned 25+ oscilloscopes in my 45 years in electronics, I have 5 now - two is Tektronix - none of my oscilloscopes has been less than 10 years old when I'd bought them
Comment from : Bo Petersen

Digital storage oscilloscopes are just pathetic Never can match the charm of an analogue oscilloscope However in the hands of novice these DSO are helpful Really to work with their levels of lag is disgusting DSO are just disgusting If you are working with much lesser frequencies please think a while before putting money on the expensive DSOs They are such a piece of scrap
Comment from : Raj Raj

I got one from amazon pre-assembled I have the so called "real" oscilloscopes too Believe me the so called real oscilloscopes are pure piece of scrap compared to this one except for the display size These small ones can be powered by 9volt battery and portable Does most of the works The real ones have lag like anything Cant really change the sampling rate which is pinned to horizontal scales Funny memory capacities and worst to the core is their PC connectivity Just a piece of scrap The real oscilloscopes are nothing but real piece of scrap Expensive and just nothing Pathetic
