just got mine yesterday and just playing around with it for now. i got the fully assembled kit (except the case) and, as expected, worked right out of the box. also, pretty cool that is 9v which means we can just throw a 9v battery on it and make fully portable. i can easily recommend this to anyone doing electronic projects as a hobby. for the price, this should be the next measuring tool after a decent multimeter. my biggest gripe about is that the trigger starts at the middle point and basically the first half of the measurement is garbage and leaves the second half of the graph with only limited space for the signal you actually want to capture. for example, when sending the IR codes, they have to pretty small in order to fit the whole sequence, if i try to make them wider, only about half of the full sequence will actually fit. anything longer than about 8 bits and you won't be able to read it due to the trigger starting in the middle. and lastly, in the video he mentions he could not get the save/recall functions to work. they work fine, but is the adj+sec/adj+trigg that calls them, not the ok+sec/trigg. so no, don't expect a fully featured scope, but this is definitely useful for simpler projects or troubleshooting them.

For the price this oscilloscope is unbeatable, which is why I bought one a few days ago on banggood. Of course you must not expect any accuracy (if you do, I guess you don't have enough experience yet). But it is a 100% suited for simple failure checks in devices. I'm taking part in a "repair cafe" (that's where people repair things for other people) and we don't have the money to buy measuring equipment (since we do the repairs as volunteers for free). I for sure won't take my own clunky analog scope there with me. But this thing will be perfect for measuring if power supply voltages are stable or a certain signal is at a certain point for example. I will also mod it to be battery operated (I already have a 800mAh Li-ion cell and a charge-module here from a previous project; waiting for the mini step-up converter). After that I don't have to worry about measuring anywhere I want in a circuit, even those where the low voltage is not isolated from the mains (I know that can be dangerous; but carrying an isolation transformer around all the time isn't an option either).

@@enigma7070 Not being directly connected to mains removes the danger of accidentally connecting the probe ground wire (which in most scopes is directly connected to the mains ground and has the same potential as the neutral mains line) to a live mains terminal shorting out the mains through the probe. With this particular scope, I do doubt that the power supply is not fully isolated from mains, i.e., the probe negative/ground is very likely NOT connected to mains ground or neutral, making it safe to probe at will (within the scope's voltage limitations of course). But precautions must be taken first, to ascertain if this is in fact the case.

Those stand offs around the button should be screwed to the board that holds the button, this will align the button with the hole for you. I built mine a year ago and never could get it working. One day, I was describing the problem on a forum when it dawned on me, the problem had to be in the rotary encoder. So I ordered in 10 of them, and mounted a new one. I had a difficult time getting the old one off that board so soldered it directly to the main board, it worked fine and suddenly I had a working mini oscilloscope. This after buying one of the larger models of scope kit, which I built up and have working as well, so now I can hook two scopes to two different places on the device I am working and have two separate reads of the problem.

On my scope of this model, I could not get the waveform SAVE and RECALL function to work either. In my own tests, I found this scope worked well, with reliable functionality, display accuracy and measurements, as long as I did not try ans measure signals much outside if the audio frequency range. I thought it might be useful in a technician's toolkit where they only need to work with lower frequencies. I discarded the cheap, short, unshielded test leads that came with the scope, and substituted an inexpensive scope probe...it was a 1X/10X probe, but the scope gave worse results when the probe was set to 10X, so I only use it in the 1X mode. The things that impressed me about this particular scope: - the user interface and controls and display colors and indications are well thought out and coordinated - unlike pretty much ever other inexpensive kit scope, this one has a much more useful form factor, and the nice case coming as part of the kit is very good I would not call this scope a 'toy'. Its functionality is better than many basic analog scopes, and adds some of the useful features of a DSO.

Therram, good for you in pointing out that, in spite of JYETech's specifications that say the bandwidth is up to 200kHz, that practically it is only really reliable in the audio range (up to 20kHz), and perhaps as high as around 50kHz if you are careful. Beyond that, it will display some very misleading waveforms. Also good that you mentioned that the power supply is NOT included, but is required to make this work. I think you forgot to mention that the supply needs to have a 5.5x2.1mm sized barrel connector in order to fit the jack on the scope. It really should bu just any old 9V supply....it should be a regulated 9V supply, in order ot prevent accidental damage to the scope circuitry. I also recommend spending a few more dollars for a basic oscilloscope probe, rather then the cheapo unshielded set of test leads that are included with the kit. I wrote my own detailed, enhanced user's manual, and anyone interested can download the PDF of it from here: www.serpentwebsite.com/fileshare.htm (it is at the bottom of the list).

Hi, I've recently bought one of these, but when plugging it in I got a white screen and a burning smell from one of the chips on the back. I thought this was just a defective unit, but my replacement has just arrived and it also has a white screen! I'm sure these aren't fakes, and I'm definitely using a 9V power supply - but it is 1.3A. Could it be the current is too high? cheers
@steverussell12156 жыл бұрын
It's not your power supply (assuming it's a regulated supply). From your description, the supply is *capable* of supplying 1.3A at 9V. Whatever you connect it to will only draw the current it needs - I doubt this scope needs more than maybe 50mA or so - maybe 100mA. It does need to be a regulated supply though. An unregulated supply of 9V that is capable of delivering 1.3A may easily be 10 or 11V or even more if a smaller current is being drawn. There are lots of warnings that voltages greater than 10V can damage the device. One other problem might be if the supply were connected incorrectly (wrong polarity) but the schematic shows that this is protected against by a diode so this is not the problem.
