Cheap O-scope

Postby Gigahearts_FX » Sun Oct 15, 2017 5:25 pm

Hey guys

I bought a cheap kit Oscilloscope from Amazon for £15 and built it up. Tested it on the VCO out of the Lovetone RingStinger. Definitely displaying the correct waveshapes!
This is the kit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01 ... _i=desktop

For the money invested I am very happy with it. I fed the sine wave from the Ring Stinger into the Dimension C and although it looked a bit sketchy I was able to trim the waveform resulting at the test points. Im guessing the Ringstinger output wasnt exactly the same as the type requested for testing by the Aion instructions. But still, I was able to see the result of tweaking the trimmers, and settled at the most symmetrical spot. On testing, it sounds awesome (still); I think I had it tuned by ear quite nicely anyway.

YMMV. for the money its a fun kit!

I've had that one in my "watch" on eBay for about 5 months. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with it. I'll probably get one now. It seems pretty decent for that kind of coin.

What an age we live in!

O-scopes are monumental tools, nice seeing pared down versions available for the cost of a nice meal.
I've got to get off my ass and bring to reality that what has been quoted through existence.

+1, everytime I see those it blows my mind.. But I guess really most of the "hard" work has been done already so it's just finding ways to do things smaller/cheaper now.

If I can get more involved in projects to justify my own scope (not just doing shit at work) I'll probably grab a Rigol DS1054Z, 4 channel scope for <$400 is pretty crazy deal even at 50mhz.
