I present a “BEST OF CLASS”, “Full-Featured” DIY-USB OSCILLOSCOPE which is “Truly DIY”.
My aim is to provide a cheap Digital-Storage-Oscilloscope for Students, Budding Engineers and the Hobbyist.
This USB-Oscilloscope could be part of the laboratory equipment in educational establishments.
Build this DIY-Oscilloscope for just $15

Responding to comments and suggestions from many members :
I am sharing the micro-controller fuse .Hex file for the dsPIC30F2020.
The Host PC software has been written in both ‘Visual Basic.Net’ and open source ‘Python’ providing a cross-platform GUI based solution for both Windows and Linux platforms.
