Has anyone got a USB Scope working with a Raspberry Pi?

I've a PicoScope I was hoping to attach to a Pi but there are mixed messages on the manufacturers site with regards to if this works.

Anyone got that working?

Any other recommendations? Have been looking at SigRok but support seems complex

This should tell you all you need to know:

Looks like it should work.

and - as they seem to have packeges for armhf architecture, RPI installation should be possible. The question remains what exactly means "Raspberry PI drivers temporarily not available." at the bottom of the page, but it could be limited to libpswrappers package...

I was also looking at the multicomp devices, seems they are a lot cheaper than the Digilent particularly on the second hand market

Workshopshed Just guessing here... I don't own a PicoScope but I did get to Roadtest a PicoLog with a RPi4. Pico Technologies is versed in Raspberry Pi. I think if you're using a RPi3 or RPi4, they have the software. They may not have RPi5 or a universal version up and running yet - but I don't know. I haven't made the RPi5 jump because I still have unused RPi4's.
