What a hefty, tiny , little device! Truly amazing! I have been asking around if one can build a DIY scope at decent cost and only got frowns of annoyance. But then, here you are with this wonder tool. Thank you for brightening my day.
I've only recently stumbled across your You tube channel but have found your videos very informative. This particular project interests me very much as my main interest in electronics revolves around hifi and I can see this would be very useful for servicing and fault finding in my ever growing collection devices. However this video is 2 years old and perhaps this could be revisited with updates or further modifications. Great work.
Useful bit of kit, particularly bearing in mind its cost. Whilst this isn't by any means disposable, I would rather have an accident and blow this up, than a "proper"' scope. I've never damaged any of mine upto now, and hope never to of course, but seeing the dreaded magic smoke coming from them is something that's never far from my mind...
Bought one of these back in 2016 when it was released on Crowd Supply. Software on Linux was a bit flaky back then, so I never bothered using it. Still it's keeping my Raspberry Pi's company....
Tx for the video tutorial. One thing... it would have been helpful to zoom in on the physical wiring. Some of your wires are brown and they disappear in the dark. Anyway... a drill down into a physical view of the wiring would have been helpful.
I highly suggest the series on RUclips by “blueglow electronics“….. regarding the analog discovery which is similar to the labrador board…. But a very nice souped up model. Picked up my pro bundle brand new on eBay for under $100, and they normally cost nearly 500 with all the accessories I got. He takes the analog discovery and build it into a module…. making it an exceptionally useful tool on any test bench. Especially considering he has $100,000 worth of test equipment… But still spent time and effort into that little $250 device. Turning it into an all in one troubleshooting tool. I have one and I can attest they are wonderful. Even though I have a lab and do this full-time…. I still use the analog discovery a lot. There’s a lot of functionality there and many custom attachments, accessories, and projects that can be added to it.

i like the device. but i'm too new know much about 'scopes. i have used arduino with breadboards. the tightness/fit of the connections with those little thing wires is *critical*. MY Advice (only me.. no way professional or qualified) is to EVERYBODY is get yourself some high quality jump wires for those pin headers, else you may as well herd cats whilst balancing on your elbows.
Pretty sure Andreas spiess Made a video about flexible silicone breadboard wires (Dupont wires as they’re called) A few months ago… Episode #415 mail bag I believe. I bought several sets years ago and they are worth every penny. Not that big of an investment. I have an actual lab and benchtop equipment because I do it full-time… but I also have an analog discovery pro…. and I use the shit out of that thing. it’s super useful and basically just a Lamborghini upgraded model of the multitool/Labrador board this video. I Took the advice from the “blueglow electronics” RUclips channel, I figured it must be awesome if he’s willing to build a complete test system around it and use it constantly… Especially considering he already has $100,000 worth of equipment he could be using. Highly suggest his series on it
Naa you have an excellent scope and a sig gen. One can get a good analog scope on E-bay for less than it costs to put together that 100 KHz job. I'd rather see you refurbishing good old kit than simply appeasing your sponsor. Sorry but those cheap kits just don't make the grade.
The First scope I got and still have and it's still working is a Thandar SC110A so I had to make my sig gen with 2 BC109s Plus I have been so swamped I forgot I joined your Discord - Just been on to see, my name Super-grand-ad, also the discord email reminder is working fine.

Very cool. I really enjoyed this project. Thanks. It's appreciated.

Thanks for the info I can take a look at that
great review also really nice build :)
Can you make an oscilloscope tutorial vid for repair beginners?
Thanking you sir from india
Thanks for this video. Very interesting.
Please make a video for repair of digital 6 channel Sony, Philips home theater.
Im gonna try out PCBWay next :) Hope they have tactile domes...
Where does the PC or Android software come from? What is the base Labrador input sensitivity?
I'd like to get my hand on one of those, have you got a direct link to it? Thanks in advance.

Yankee ingenuity! Is their a similar term for Brits? Lol, I love your creative mind. Thanks for all the vids.
Does anyone have the link to the Kit?

Yeah I would agree with that. This is why I soldered pin headers onto the wires in my little experimental device

Heya maybe later if I understand more about elektronics
