    Any updates on when the build files for the case will be uploaded?

    Just wait until you come across the Yuki and Pame languages where they use octal instead of decimal because they count using the spaces between their fingers as opposed to their fingers...

    Nice project Ben, i would attach a ribboncable to the pi to bring out the GPIO-pins to a breadboard in front of it. That would be THE setup for my 11yo son to tinker with.

    Wow! So many things you can do with Pi!

    This would be so useful - multimeter isn't cutting it anymore trying to diagnose vintage hardware that I have lying around.

    That was a nice build! nice job! I would use that while i learn about electronics and engineering, I have no analyzing equipment yet ....its cost prohibitive for me at the moment image

     

    PS love the show

    Just as an aside, for those using the Atmel Studio IDE, then there is a feature called Data Visualizer which is a little bit like Bitscope.

    Data Visualizer -

     

    You can see it being used in Atmel's tutorial where it is being to examine a PWM waveform captured from an ATmega328 eval board:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnIVdHBbz6E

    and also examining USART Tx activity:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r7eBvkfabg

     

    As pointed out in the video, it needs to be used in conjunction with the likes of Atmel's Xplained Pro evaluation boards. The one shown in the video is the SAM D21 Xplained Pro:

    http://uk.farnell.com/samd21-xplained-pro-atmel

     

    For people on a limited budget, then this may be a lower cost entry point to get some basic scope like functionality.

     

    Perhaps a comparison between various scopes could be done in a future video.

    Oh yes, I forgot... USA, Liberia and Myanmar... :-)

    When will you finally give in and get rid of that imperial crap...

    Countries that have adopted the metric system

    You could have ended up with a 'microscope' there !  image

    I just measured the bitscope and it looks like those measurements are correct, but the units should be inches not mm.
