Shiny Nano v2

Oooh... A new DSO Nano from SeedStudio.



Muuuust resist...

DSO Nano Clone

I just saw these at DealExtreme:



They appear to have an mmcx connector instead of the 3.5mm that SeeedStudio uses. I wonder what else is different inside?

They're selling the probe/battery-less version for only $55 USD shipped. The full version is 70 USD or 72 USD (not sure exactly what's the difference). The prices are definitely tempting.

I'm thinking of getting the cheap probe/battery-less version, but I wonder how easy would it be to find or make those mmcx probe though... It's the first time I've seen one of those.

DSO Nano Surgery

My DSO Nano came with a crooked 3.5mm socket. It worked, but there was quite a bit of friction from the plug rubbing on the case.



I wasn't too sure about opening up a new Nano, but the problem was annoying enough, and in the long run, it probably wasn't good for the socket or the PCB, so I disassembled and attempted to fix it...

Cheap probe for DSO Nano

DealExtreme 100MHz probe ($6.04 shipped) + SeedStudio BNC adapter ($1.50 + sh) = ~$7.54.

Also made a breadboard-pluggable one. Plug connection: Tip of plug is positive, everything else is negative.

DSO Nano Stand

Here's my DSO Nano stand... You only need a few thousand dollars in debt... ;)



If it's not so obvious, it's a folded-up old credit card (rebate CC actually).

My DSO Nano...

The Nano is an $89 open-source (hardware & software) portable 1MHz oscilloscope from SeeedStudio.
