This Raspberry Pi Pico-powered oscilloscope fits in your pocket yet displays crisp waveforms with independent trigger and timebase controls on a bright 0.96-inch OLED. Two smooth potentiometers let you dial in the trigger threshold and sweep speed while tactile buttons switch capture modes, all sealed inside a sturdy ABS enclosure barely larger than a credit card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA battery-operated, portable oscilloscope that visualizes voltage signals up to 500?kHz on its 128�64-pixel OLED. The timebase is adjustable from 50?�s\/div down to 50?ms\/div, and a configurable trigger level locks noisy signals into a stable display. You will solder the entire signal chain-from the LM358 buffer and level-shifter through the Pico's ADC to the I2C OLED-and load the firmware that turns a microcontroller board into a real measurement tool. The final device is a self-contained diagnostic companion ideal for checking sensor outputs, audio waveforms, and PWM duty cycles on the go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfiguring the Raspberry Pi Pico's ADC for high-speed sampling at 500?ksps using DMA and PIO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplaying real-time waveforms on an I2C OLED with a custom plotting routine optimized for 128-sample frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImplementing trigger logic with a potentiometer-controlled threshold and the LM358 as a comparator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigning a physical user interface that blends two pots and two tactile buttons to adjust timebase, holdoff, and mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaspberry Pi Pico\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.96in OLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10k?
